A new team of U.S. Marines has been sent to Haiti to help protect the American embassy, the U.S. military said Wednesday, a day after the country's prime minister announced his resignation following months of rising unrest and gang violence.

The U.S. Southern Command said in a statement that a fleet-anti-terrorism security team, known as FAST, was deployed to the embassy in the nation's capital, Port-au-Prince, which has been at the center of the chaos and civil disorder.

You just found that didn't you, hence your silly comment.

 

[Cellblock2429]

That's nice. The US government has no jurisdiction over Americans abroad.

/----/ Typical Leftard attitude. Pass the buck, and make excuses.

 

[Hollie]

We do not think of these things as being potentially dangerous. They have an element of risk. Joe of course from his musings, tells us from the number of people he took out back, would have led many of these rescues.

Yes. He might tell us of the train conductor he got to know when he was commuting by rail to Haiti.

 

[elektra]

You're a moron. We are a nation of laws. The US embassy has no power abroad. If you break the law in another country, the US embassy has no jurisdiction. They can't save you.

says the moron that is responding to something not said by me

Where were we talking about citizens breaking laws abroad?

Here's the latest travel warnings for Haiti.

It's a doozy.

Haiti Travel Advisory

travel.state.gov

Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure. On July 27, 2023, the Department of State ordered the departure of family members of U.S. government employees and non-emergency U.S. government employees. U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options, in light of the current security situation and infrastructure challenges. U.S. citizens wishing to depart Port-au-Prince should monitor local news and only do so when considered safe.

Country Summary: Kidnapping is widespread, and victims regularly include U.S. citizens. Kidnappers may use sophisticated planning or take advantage of unplanned opportunities, and even convoys have been attacked. Kidnapping cases often involve ransom negotiations and U.S. citizen victims have been physically harmed during kidnappings. Victim’s families have paid thousands of dollars to rescue their family members.

Violent crime, often involving the use of firearms, such as armed robbery, carjackings, and kidnappings for ransom that include U.S. citizens are common. Mob killings against presumed criminals have been on the rise since late April. Travelers are sometimes followed and violently attacked and robbed shortly after leaving the Port-au-Prince international airport. Robbers and carjackers also attack private vehicles stuck in heavy traffic congestion and often target lone drivers, particularly women. As a result, the U.S. Embassy requires its personnel to use official transportation to and from the airport.

Protests, demonstrations, tire burning, and roadblocks are frequent, unpredictable, and can turn violent. The U.S. government is extremely limited in its ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Haiti – assistance on site is available only from local authorities (Haitian National Police and ambulance services). Local police generally lack the resources to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents. Shortages of gasoline, electricity, medicine, and medical supplies continue throughout much of Haiti. Public and private medical clinics and hospitals often lack qualified medical staff and even basic medical equipment and resources.

U.S. government personnel are limited only to the confined area around the Embassy and are prohibited from walking in Port-au-Prince. U.S. government personnel in Haiti are prohibited from:

Using any kind of public transportation or taxis
Visiting banks and using ATMs
Driving at night
Traveling anywhere between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Traveling without prior approval and special security measures in place.

The Haitian Ministry of Health and Population (MSPP) has confirmed an outbreak of cholera in the country.

So it appears that some of the Americans abandoned by Biden were government employees.

That was the situation when Biden abandoned Americans in Afghanistan.

We're seeing a pattern here.

A long, tedious cut and paste. Why didn't Biden withdraw US citizens who were government employees much earlier?

 

[Godboy]

The US has no authority over Americans abroad. Read the law. First read the definition of jurisdiction.

What does authority over people have to do with an evacuation? What the **** are you talking about?

 

[surada]

That's a doozy.

So it appears that some of the Americans abandoned by Biden were government employees.

That was the situation when Biden abandoned Americans in Afghanistan.

We're seeing a pattern here.

Nope. Embassy employee are evacuated. Government employees are evacuated. If you decide to work for a US company abroad find out if they have an evacuation plan.

 

[surada]

A long, tedious cut and paste. Why didn't Biden withdraw US citizens who were government employees much earlier?

That's why you don't know anything.

 

[Cellblock2429]

/---/ Surada is just making up excuses to cover for Dementia Joe's incompetence.

/---/ Surada is just making up excuses to cover for Dementia Joe's incompetence.

Of course.

 

[Hollie]

That's why you don't know anything.

I know enough to understand your cutting and pasting is pointless.

 

[Hollie]

Nope. Embassy employee are evacuated. Government employees are evacuated. If you decide to work for a US company abroad find out if they have an evacuation plan.

Curious that your cut and paste identified a recommendation that family members of government employees leave but no mention of governmemt employees.

 

[Polishprince]

That's nice. The US government has no jurisdiction over Americans abroad.

Actually, the US government certainly does. Americans are responsible for paying tax on their worldwide income, and many Americans are in prison here in the US for crimes they committed abroad like paedophilia.

 

[beautress]

A disgraceful pattern emerges with Biden and the Dems / Socialists. Being abandoned is something you should expect if caught up in a cowardly withdrawal, such as Afghanistan, or in the event of a government takeover such as Haiti.

ICYMI, $100 Million of your tax dollars are going to Haiti.

https://siouxcountyradio.com/fox-news-latest/congressman-evacuates-10-americans-from-crime-ravaged-haiti-slams-biden-for-pattern-of-abandonment/

Rep. Cory Mills previously organized and executed two evacuations of Americans from foreign conflict zones after protracted Biden administration efforts to rescue citizens.

It cost a hundred million dollars for Biden to bring home ten American citizens? How much was Biden's cut? Well, I'ma gonna faint any minute.

 

[surada]

/---/ Surada is just making up excuses to cover for Dementia Joe's incompetence.

Read the law, moron.

 

[surada]

Actually, the US government certainly does. Americans are responsible for paying tax on their worldwide income, and many Americans are in prison here in the US for crimes they committed abroad like paedophilia.

That's is a specific exception. Read the law.
