AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoHaitian TPS Fallout in Ohio: Pierre Damas Bel, 20, died after stepping into traffic in Springfield, Ohio, days after ICE fitted him with a GPS ankle monitor following the end of Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status; his father said the device brought “shame and humiliation” and that he was treated “like an animal,” while DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said DHS followed procedures and blamed no one for the death. Mass Enforcement Push: Mullin also said ICE arrested 380 people in Springfield as TPS protections ended, adding that ICE will keep using ankle monitors and urging Haitians to return “on their own.” Deportations Accelerate: The U.S. deported more than 100 people to Haiti on a flight to Cap-Haïtien, described as a shift toward weekly removals as gangs control much of Port-au-Prince. Humanitarian Strain: Rights advocates warn that nearly 200,000 Haitians forcibly returned in the first eight months of 2026—mostly via the Dominican Republic—are overwhelming Haiti’s limited capacity to receive and reintegrate returnees. Regional Politics: CARICOM’s Eminent Persons Group is in Haiti ahead of the Dec. 13 elections, meeting political actors and calling for coordination among regional and international partners. Security Governance: Haiti urged the OAS to renew the Gang Suppression Force mandate and fund completion of its planned 5,500-person deployment ahead of the election timeline.
