When the United States deports Haitians, they are sent to Cap Haitien in the north.  Women and children are afraid to take the road to Port-au-Prince where they may be raped by bandits.  Port-au-Prince remains extremely dangerous to transit though given that the vast majority of the city, despite the presence of a multi-national security force, is controlled by gangs.   Many deportees sleep rough in Cap Haitien knowing that their lives are at at risk if they leave.  The Cap Haitien municipality  does not have the resources to support them.  Faith based groups, a labor union, and several Haitians are sueing the United States over these deportations which were a  human rights violation under the Biden Administration just as it is under the Trump Administration now.  View the full article linked and below for more information. 

Up to 7,000 Haitian migrants may try to cross the Southern California border in the months ahead. The majority of these migrants were given humanitarian visas to live and work in Brazil following the earthquake.  While there were many opportunities to work in the lead-up to the Olympics, the Brazilian economy has taken a beating as of late.  As work became harder to find, Haitian migrants increasingly sought opportunities elsewhere - and often travelling dangerous routes to do so.
