On the domestic front, the United States is taking Haitians camped in a Texas border town back to their homeland of Haiti.
This, as the United States begins what many are describing as one of America's swiftest large-scale expulsions of migrants or refugees in decades.

The United States finally tipped its hand.
Tens of thousands of Haitian migrants and refugees seeking to flee Haiti discovered that they tempted providence by trying to set foot in the U.S., as the U.S. government finally enunciated its plans to begin 7 expulsion flights daily starting on Wednesday, four to Port-au-Prince, and the other three to Cap-Haitien.
As such, about a dozen Texas Department of Public Safety vehicles linked up near the Texas border to stop the flow of migrants trying to enter the U.S. illegally by way of a small dam.
Scores of migrants encamped on the Texas border were seen wading back and forth the Rio Grande, re-entering Mexico to purchase water, food and other daily necessities, which are reportedly nowhere to be found in the Texas encampment.
Sarah Blake Morgan, Associated Press reporter: What you're seeing behind me is a steady stream of Haitian migrants going back and forth from the Mexican side where we are to the U.S. side. Now, the reason they're doing so is because they say they don't have access to food in this camp where they're being held out.
This immigrant says things took a turn for the worse in the camp as the amount of food and daily necessities available in the camp was inadequate.
Some other Central Americans have also crossed the U.S. border in akin numbers without being subject to mass expulsion. This, despite Mexico offering to accept them from the U.S. under pandemic-related authority in effect since March 2020.
Be that as it may, Mexico has not accepted banished Haitians or people of other nationalities outside of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
When the Texas border was closed on Sunday, the migrants quickly found other ways to cross nearby, but they were eventually blocked by Border Patrol agents on horseback and Texas law enforcement officials.
Having been living in a country where devastating earthquakes are commonplace, a growing number of Haitians have been migrating to the U.S., as they are also fed up with political crises in their country.
Nevertheless, knowing a large number of immigrants seeking Asylum in the U.S. is bound to trigger a carbon copy of Europe's migrant crisis, the U.S. government was expeditious in controlling the flow of migrants entering America.
It was a pandemic-related authority adopted by former U.S. President Donald Trump that allowed of the rapid expulsions aimed at impeding a gargantuan number of migrants' efforts to settle down in the U.S.
The immigrants' rights to seek asylum and other forms of humanitarian protection are enshrined in the U.S.' immigration laws.
