The State Department announced plans Saturday to get Americans out of Haiti via chartered flights.

“We are arranging a charter flight for U.S. citizens with valid U.S. passports from Cap-Haitien to the U.S.,” the department posted on X. “Travel to Cap-Haitien is conducted at your own risk.”

Those who qualify need to fill out an online form in order to plan their transportation.

Cap-Haitien is some 130 miles north of Port au-Prince, where gangs have completely taken over neighborhoods. They have managed to close two international airports in the country.

And how much will the Biden maladministration force the American citizens commit to pay for the flight while shipping Haitians in for free?

Do they have to pay before they run the 130 mile gauntlet to the airport?
