Two flights carried the first group of Haitian migrants that had gathered near the U.S.-Mexico border back to the country on Sunday morning.
Sept.19 (UPI) — The first group of Haitians deported from the U.S.-Mexico border arrived back in the country on Sunday. Bruno Lozano, mayor of Del Rio, Texas, said two flights transporting the migrants back to Haiti departed at around 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. It was not immediately known what airports the flights departed from. Nearly 13,000 migrants remain under the International Bridge in Del Rio and the surrounding area after the Biden administration on Saturday pledged to ramp up the deportations.
