FIRST ON FOX: More than 100 illegal immigrants from Haiti with convictions for violent offenses and child sex crimes in the United States were deported to their native country last week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Monday.
A July 16 deportation flight that landed in Haiti included passengers with a range of criminal histories, including convictions for child molestation, domestic violence, and armed carjacking, DHS said.
"Last week, ICE deported pedophiles, carjackers, drug traffickers, and perpetrators of fraud to Haiti," said DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Criminal illegal aliens have NO place in American communities. Our message to illegal aliens is clear: LEAVE NOW. If you don’t, we will find you and deport you."
Among those deported was Styv Charles, who had a conviction for the molestation of a minor. Timothe Matel was previously convicted of committing lewd or lascivious acts with a minor.
Marc James Guerrier Pinard had an armed carjacking conviction, and Markendy Henry has convictions for selling narcotics, carrying a concealed weapon, selling marijuana, selling heroin, and drug trafficking.
Another passenger on the flight, Fito Almanor, has convictions for domestic violence and false imprisonment.

Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Haitians with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) cannot turn to federal courts to postpone the revocation of their legal status while challenging the Trump administration's policies.
In June 2025, the Trump administration ended TPS for roughly 520,000 Haitians residing in the U.S.
At the time, the administration said the move restores "integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protected Status is actually temporary."

Congress created TPS in 1990 with the intention of allowing residents of countries that faced natural disasters, war, or other unsafe, extraordinary conditions to find refuge in the U.S.
The program can be extended in increments of 18 months.
