Port-au-Prince, Haiti – A Haitian man who was deported from the United States to Haiti in 2021 is now living in a country he has never lived in before.
The man, who asked to be identified only as Jean, was born in the Dominican Republic to Haitian parents. He lived in the Dominican Republic until he was 18, when he moved to the United States. He lived in the United States for 20 years before he was deported.
Jean said he was deported because he had a criminal record. He was convicted of a felony in 2001 and served time in prison. After he was released from prison, he was placed in deportation proceedings.
Jean said he fought his deportation, but he was ultimately unsuccessful. He was deported to Haiti in 2021.
Jean said he was shocked when he was deported to Haiti. He had never been to Haiti before and he did not know anyone there. He said he was afraid and alone.
Jean said he has been trying to find a way to return to the United States, but he has been unsuccessful. He said he has applied for a visa, but his application has been denied.
Jean said he is now living in a shelter in Port-au-Prince. He said he is struggling to find a job and he is afraid of being deported again.
Jean’s case is not unique. There are thousands of Haitians who have been deported to Haiti in recent years. Many of these Haitians were born in the Dominican Republic or in the United States and have never lived in Haiti.
The Haitian government has been criticized for its treatment of deportees. Critics say the government is not doing enough to help deportees find housing, jobs, and other assistance.
The Haitian government says it is doing its best to help deportees, but it is facing a number of challenges. The government says it is working to improve its social services and to create more jobs.
Jean said he hopes to one day be able to return to the United States. He said he misses his family and friends and he wants to be able to live in a safe and stable environment.
