Port-au-Prince, January 12 (RHC)-- The U.S. Coast Guard said it rescued 176 Haitian nationals from a precarious boat headed toward the Florida coastline earlier this week.
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.
January 12th marks 12 years since the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti which killed an estimated 300,000 people.
