Haitian migrants are reaching Florida's shores in a string of suspected smuggling operations that could outpace last year's migration waves. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
Earlier this month, a wooden boat carrying hundreds of migrants grounded in shallow water off Key Largo, and 163 people swam ashore near the Ocean Reef Club. Many needed medical treatment, federal officials said. “The actions of these armed criminal groups have had a catastrophic impact on the economy of Haiti and threaten the fundamental rights of all Haitian citizens, especially their rights to life, freedom of movement, work, health care and education,” the U.N. report concluded.
The U.S. has deported an estimated 18,000 people to Haiti in recent months, with many struggling to find jobs or even speak the language. Another 10,000 Haitians have been deported from the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola, in recent months in a crackdown on migrants.The Coast Guard has stopped other Haitian boats navigating near the Bahamas with dozens of migrants.
Haiti’s prime minister, Ariel Henry, has pledged to fight violence, boost the economy and help the country recover from a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the country's southern region in August, killing more than 2,200 people and destroying tens of thousands of homes. But aid has been slow to arrive given that violent gang clashes have shut down the main road from the capital.
