ALREADY PUBBED Deported Haitian migrants clash with authorities in attempt to get back onto plane which flew them out of America

The Telegraph  

Dozens of migrants upset about being deported to Haiti from the United States clashed with authorities while trying to rush back into the plane which took them to Port-au-Prince. The chaotic scenes at Toussaint Louverture airport came as the US faced a backlash for its heavy-handed policing on the border, with officers on horseback seen charging at migrants and threatening them with whips. Now, in a new tactic, dozens of Texas National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety vehicles are being parked for miles along the border to create a "steel barrier" and stop people from entering the US. Some 9,000 Haitian migrants remain in a squalid camp underneath the bridge between Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña, but hundreds have been deported under a sweeping public health order created by Donald Trump and kept in place under Joe Biden.
