Five Doorways: Where People Were Actually Taken This Month, and What to Do at Each One

Four removal flights since TPS ended; 401 people returned

Flights to Cap-Haïtien have been landing on Thursdays. The Sept. 10 flight was the fourth since TPS ended and brings the number returned in recent months to 401, Haiti’s National Office for Migration told The Haitian Times (Sep 12); Haitian officials say 50 people aboard had been living in the United States on TPS (HaitiLibre, Sep 12). The week before, AP counted 101 people on the Sept. 3 flight. Per-flight figures differ by source and are not to be added together. Losing TPS is still not a deportation order by itself — removal requires a legal process in which you have rights. Source: Haitian Times, HaitiLibre, AP (Sep 2026)

People are being taken at traffic stops, at ICE appointments and in multi-day operations in one area, not in door-to-door sweeps

Every arrest this site has verified this month happened one at a time: at a traffic stop, at a scheduled ICE check-in, or outside a home, a workplace or a school gate — not in a door-to-door sweep. In West York, PA, a stop over a light and an expired inspection became ICE custody because of an old unpaid speeding-ticket warrant (York Daily Record, Sep 4). Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said ICE has made 380 arrests in Springfield; his account did not say how many of those people were Haitian, what period the count covers, or how many are still held (Cincinnati Enquirer, Sep 4). Dozens of people with Springfield ties are booked into the Butler County Jail and other Ohio facilities, by the paper’s own review of jail records (Dayton Daily News, Sep 15). People who are released commonly leave wearing a GPS ankle monitor; an advocate says one woman’s doctor asked in writing that hers be removed and it was not (WYSO, Sep 7). Those sent a report-in letter describe an appointment that ends in a monitor or in detention (Presbyterian News Service, Sep 11). On the Massachusetts South Coast that pattern arrived all at once and did not stop at one city or at two days: agents stopped cars across New Bedford and the towns beside it on Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 21 and 22, taking people on their way to work with no notice to the local police (The New Bedford Light, Sep 22), and by Friday the week’s arrests were being counted across New Bedford, Dartmouth and Fall River (Fall River Reporter, Sep 25). No outlet has confirmed a door-to-door neighborhood raid in Springfield, Little Haiti, Boston or on the South Coast — those arrests were vehicle stops and street arrests, reported near fish houses, grocery stores, gas stations and a mall staging area, inside a coordinated multi-day operation.
