What happens when illegal migrants realize they are being deported?
Based on Todd Bensman's account, deportation flights can become chaotic when migrants realize they're being sent back to their home countries. Specifically with Haitian migrants, they became unruly upon discovering their return destination. The deportation process appears to create a deterrent effect, as people are 'lined up to be sent back home' with the realization that 'it's not worth the trip anymore.' This suggests that consistent deportation policies may reduce illegal immigration attempts by demonstrating real consequences.

What happened during the deportation flights of Haitian migrants under the Biden administration in 2021?
In September 2021, when Haitian migrants realized they were being deported back to Haiti, chaos erupted on the flights. According to a New York Post report, migrants destroyed the aircraft interior by ripping out window shades, damaging overhead compartments, tearing seat cushions, and attempting to hijack the plane. The pilots had to take shelter behind locked cabin doors as the situation escalated into attempted hijackings, attacks on ICE agents, and mutiny. The violence spread beyond a single flight, with a mob later attempting to hijack another flight carrying women and children from Del Rio, Texas. This incident was part of a larger deportation effort involving approximately 15,000 Haitian migrants who had been living under the Del Rio International Bridge.
