"Removals of Haitian nationals encountered at our southern border and repatriation of Haitian nationals encountered at sea continue," the spokesperson said, noting the Biden administration had expanded parole processes for Haitian migrants. "Those interdicted at sea are subject to immediate repatriation, and those encountered in the United States without a legal basis to remain are subject to removal," they said. The United Nations and human rights group have called on the United States and other countries to stop this practice. U.S. border authorities encountered more than 125,000 Haitians between last October and July, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
