Group Reports 68,000 Haitians Deported In Early 2026

HAITI -More than 68,000 Haitians were repatriated from several countries during the first quarter of 2026, according to figures released by the Support Group for Repatriates and Refugees (GARR), which warned that worsening insecurity and poverty in Haiti are fueling migration while making deportees’ reintegration increasingly difficult.

The organization noted that deportations during the first three months of 2026 exceeded those recorded during the same period last year.

Most deportees were returned from the Dominican Republic, though repatriations also came from the United States, The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
