Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has initiated a series of state-chartered flights to evacuate Americans from Haiti amid escalating violence in the country. The crisis in Haiti has prompted the need for urgent evacuations, with the first flight already having departed Haiti with 14 passengers and expected to land at Orlando-Sanford International Airport. These operations, organized by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, are taxpayer-funded and are described as 'the first of many' in a broader effort to assist Floridians and other Americans in leaving Haiti. Governor DeSantis has also mentioned the possibility of sending Haitian refugees to Martha's Vineyard, highlighting the state's proactive stance in addressing the situation in Haiti.
