Coast Guard Rescues 176 Haitian Migrants from Boat as Biden Admin Continues Mass Deportations
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. Coast Guard said it rescued 176 Haitian nationals from a
precarious boat headed toward the Florida coastline Monday. This comes
as the United States continues its mass deportations of Haitians amid a
mounting security and political crisis. Seven deportation flights were
reported yesterday alone. Today marks 12 years since the devastating
2010 earthquake in Haiti which killed an estimated 300,000 people.
