Haiti is descending further into lawlessness as gangs take control of more areas.
Trump wants to send Hatians back to this, claiming Haiti is safe...
But the US State Department warns that Haiti is anything but safe...
Haiti's gangs have gained "near-total control" of the capital and authorities are unable to stop escalating violence across the impoverished Caribbean nation, senior UN officials warned Wednesday.
An estimated 90 per cent of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is now under control of criminal groups who are expanding attacks not only into surrounding areas but beyond into previously peaceful areas, Ghada Fathy Waly, executive director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, told the UN Security Council.

The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home," the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in an accompanying statement.
But the US State Department warns that Haiti is anything but safe...
The DHS statement came even as the State Department currently assigns Haiti its highest travel advisory level, advising Americans not to travel there due to "kidnapping, crime, civil unrest and limited health care."
