Michigan Group Rescued from Haiti Unrest by Helicopter Organized by Rep. Mills
• Mitch Albom and a group from Michigan were trapped in Haiti amid civil unrest and were rescued via helicopter organized by Rep. Cory Mills.
• Albom runs an orphanage in Haiti and was there on a monthly visit when flights were suspended due to gang violence.
• Rep. Lisa McClain asked Mills for help rescuing the group after getting no assistance from the State Department.
• 8 of the 10 people rescued were from Michigan; they were flown to safety in the Dominican Republic.
• The U.S. military has flown in personnel to bolster security at the embassy in Haiti, but McClain criticized the Biden administration for having no evacuation plan.
