Biden Admin Announces That Americans Stuck in Haiti Must Make It To Extraction Point ‘At Your Own Risk,’ Orders Them To Pay Government For Evacuation
"On Saturday, the Biden administration announced plans to charter at least one evacuation flight out of Haiti, but said that stranded Americans were on their own to reach the exfiltration point, and that Americans who do take the flight will be required to pay for evacuation.
The State Department announced it is “arranging a charter flight for U.S. citizens” to escape Haiti, which has fallen into chaos as criminal gangs fight in the streets for control of the Caribbean nation.
However, the airport in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, has been shut down as the largest city in the country becomes the largest battlefield in the nation. The State Department is instead planning to fly Americans out of Cap-Haitien.
However, it stated that stranded Americans would be required to get to Cap-Haitien before the flight leaves, and they would not be able to offer any protection to them.
“Travel to Cap-Haitien is conducted at your own risk,” the State Department wrote in a Saturday post on X.
“The overland trip from Port-au-Prince to Cap-Haitien is dangerous,” the agency wrote in a release announcing the plan. “We recommend you consider the Cap-Haitien flight only if you believe you can reach Cap-Haitien airport safely. We cannot provide overland travel from other parts of Haiti to Cap-Haitien.”
The flight will only allow American citizens with valid U.S. passports to board, and prospective evacuees must fill out a form and wait for additional information from the State Department as to how to proceed, the agency said.
Additionally, Americans who take the flight will be required to “sign a promissory note agreeing to reimburse the U.S. government for the cost of the flight,” according to the State Department.
Cap-Haitien is on the other side of the island from Port-au-Prince, with approximately 125 miles, or approximately five or more hours of driving separating the two locations. It is unclear how many Americans remain trapped in Haiti or what part of the country they are in.
The agency said that the evacuation plan will be carried out “assuming the security situation in Cap-Haitien remains stable,” but added that “the security situation in Haiti is unpredictable and dangerous.” The State Department said that it is working on evacuation solutions out of Port-au-Prince, asserting that it will notify Americans of those plans “as soon as we are able to safely and securely arrange them.”
“Our embassies overseas compile rough estimates of U.S. citizens in their countries for contingency planning purposes, but these estimates can vary and are constantly changing,” a State Department spokesperson told the Daily Caller. “U.S. citizens are not required to register their travel to a foreign country with us, so we cannot track with fidelity how many U.S. citizens are in any particular country.”
It is unclear what will occur in the instance that the facilities at Cap-Haitien are unusable for evacuation flights."
Screw you, Americans, safe, free, transportation is only for illegal aliens....
