DETROIT, Michigan (Michigan News Source) – It is being called a repeating “pattern of abandonment” with the Biden Administration – leaving Americans stranded in foreign countries in the middle of fighting, chaos and war. Those are words from Florida Congressman Cory Mills after leading a rescue effort to get ten Americans out of Haiti.

This approach of surrender and abandonment of American embassies and citizens in foreign countries has no longer become surprising revelation to many since Biden became president with Mills saying to Fox News Digital, “This mission reiterates a disturbing reality under President Biden’s leadership: American lives are continually jeopardized.”

With Haiti spiraling into what many are calling a “low-intensity civil war” and gangs taking over the country, ten Americans, eight of whom are Michiganders, including Detroit Free Press columnist and author Mitch Albom, were stranded inside of the country.

The group had been visiting Albom’s orphanage Have Faith Haiti Mission & Orphanage in Port-au- Prince that he founded and opened in 2010 after the Haiti earthquake that killed approximately 100,000 people.

Two representatives from Congress put together a rescue plan.

Because of the inaction of the Biden administration, just like Afghanistan, Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills put together a rescue mission to get those ten Americans out of Haiti.

Rep. Cory mills has rescued Americans in the past when the Biden administration wouldn’t.

This wasn’t Mills’ first rodeo. He also rescued Americans after what he called the “botched” withdrawal from Afghanistan. And he rescued Americans in Israel after they came under attack from Hamas terrorists.

It’s because of the inaction of our federal government that Michigan Congresswoman Lisa McClain and Florida Congressman Cory Mills had to step up and coordinate the rescue of Albom and the rest of the group.

Mills appeared on Fox News’ Fox and Friends on Wednesday morning to talk about the spiraling violence and the rescue. He said, “We conducted a night operation departing out of a neighboring country by helicopter. If Americans are abroad and they’re in trouble, I’m going to come to their aid. And if Biden’s not willing to do his job, I’ll do it for him.”

Albom speaks out about rescue mission.

In a statement on Tuesday night, Albom told the Free Press, “Well, we‘re pretty grimy and exhausted, but after two days of coordinated efforts, a group of us from the Have Faith Haiti Orphanage, including my wife and myself, were evacuated in the middle of the night from a site in Haiti.”

He added, “It was a helicopter effort and was pretty crazy. I want to thank Cory Mills and Lisa McClain, who were instrumental in making this happen as an independent effort. We were lucky to get out.”

U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain gets contacted about plight of Americans.

U.S. Representative Lisa McClain (R-Bruce Township) played a role in coordinating Tuesday night’s rescue operation. After learning about Albom’s situation from a constituent, she reached out to Albom by phone over the weekend. After that, she contacted Mills after learning there seemed to be “no plan” from the United States government to get the Americans out of Haiti.

Albom said about the situation, “Many other Americans, Canadians and others are still stuck in Haiti in an extremely volatile situation and they need help getting out and it seems very little is coming from our governments.”

White House ignores pleas for a rescue mission.

As the country spiraled into chaos, Albom and the others had been sheltering in place for about a week. In the meantime, McClain and her staff made phone call after phone call. She said, “We tried to use the government channels…We tried to go through the proper channels…No one was calling us back. We couldn’t get any answers.”

Desperately trying to help Albom and the others, McClain reached out to Mills who had previously coordinated a rescue mission to get Michigan U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga’s son out of Israel last year after the Hamas attack. Mills went right to work on the Haiti rescue and evacuation strategy. Although challenges came up, as they often do, McClain said, “We were not going to leave them there. We were going to get them out at any cost.”

Americans told to leave Haiti.

The State Dept. is advising Americans to leave Haiti as soon as possible and although the Marine Corps. has secured the U.S. Embassy for now, the fate of that embassy and other trapped Americans remains uncertain.

What’s happening in Haiti?

The new violent unrest facing the country comes after the Haitian government declared a 72-hour state of emergency on March 3rd. This was done after armed gangs stormed the national prison in Port-au-Prince and 3,700 prisoners were released.

According to the BBC, “The latest upsurge in violence began on Thursday, when the prime minister travelled to Nairobi to discuss sending a Kenya-led multinational security force to Haiti. Gang leader Jimmy Chérizier (nicknamed Barbecue) then declared a co-ordinated attack to remove him.”

Prime Minister resigns.

Stranded in Puerto Rico and not being able to get back to Haiti, Prime Minister Ariel Henry has announced his resignation after the gang insurrection saying, “For more than a week, our country has experienced an increase in acts of violence of all kinds perpetrated against the population: assassinations, attacks against law enforcement, looting, systematic destruction of public and private buildings.”

He continued to say, “We deplore the numerous losses of human life. The government that I lead cannot remain indifferent to this situation. As I have always said, no sacrifice is too great for our common homeland Haiti. I’m asking all Haitians to remain calm and do everything they can for peace and stability to come back as fast as possible.”

Haitian leaders convened in Jamaica and reached consensus to establish a new transitional government. This government will be overseen by a seven-member presidential council responsible for selecting a new interim prime minister.
