NEW: As 10,000+ mainly Haitian migrants shelter under a bridge in Texas as part of a new surge of migration to the US border, ICE is planning to ramp up deportation flights to Haiti over the next week, according to internal documents.
In addition to deportation flights, ICE will also begin “lateral flights,” where Haitian migrants will be flown to other sectors of the U.S. border for processing, in order to alleviate overcrowding in Del Rio, according to another document.
Most of the Haitians arriving are not coming directly from the island nation, said two DHS officials, but have been living in South America for several years. As one of the officials explained, they cannot be deported back to South American countries so they will instead be sent to Haiti, though most would be landing in a country they have not lived in for years that has been devastated by political crisis and natural disasters.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., criticized the Biden administration for its decision to stop Haitian deportation flights, saying it was drawing more people to Del Rio.“If you’re from Haiti, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have said we have open borders, come to Del Rio and they will let you in,” Cruz told Fox News on Thursday.
The Haitian Bridge Alliance, an advocacy organization, has said the Biden administration should not be deporting Haitians “without offering them legal protection and the opportunity to apply for asylum.”Julia Ainsley is a correspondent covering the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice for the NBC News Investigative Unit.
