Community leaders have reported that Thursday’s deportation flight was among the largest they have witnessed recently. The flight included individuals detained in the past few weeks.
On August 20, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. EDT, a significant arrival marked the resumption of deportation flights to Haiti. This event followed the cessation of humanitarian protections for 350,000 residents in the U.S. during the Trump administration.

The first deportation flight since these protections ended has now landed in Haiti. Activists express concern as immigration arrests are appearing to increase.
