Where Did All The Haitian Refugees in Texas Go?

On Sunday, there were 14,000 Haitian refugees camped under a bridge near the border crossing of Del Rio, Texas.

The Biden administration signaled they were going to get tough on the Haitians by sticking them on planes and sending them back to Haiti.

The AP reports that most of the refugees were simply handed a slip of paper with an order to report to an immigration court within 60 days.

A second U.S. official, also with direct knowledge and speaking on the condition of anonymity, said large numbers of Haitians were being processed under immigration laws and not being placed on expulsion flights to Haiti that started Sunday.

The releases in the U.S. were occurring despite the signaling of a massive effort to expel Haitians on flights to Haiti under pandemic-related authority that denies migrants an opportunity to seek asylum.

A third U.S. official not authorized to discuss operations said there were seven daily flights to Haiti planned starting Wednesday.

In Haiti, dozens of migrants upset about being deported from the U.S. tried to rush back into a plane that landed Tuesday afternoon in Port-au-Prince as they yelled at authorities.
