ICE Detains Former Haitian Presidential Candidate in Florida

HeadlineJul 22, 2025

ICE agents in South Florida have detained the prominent Haitian entrepreneur Dr. Pierre Réginald Boulos. He was born in the United States but renounced his citizenship to run for president of Haiti. ICE accused him of being “engaged in a campaign of violence and gang support that contributed to Haiti’s destabilization.” He is being held at the Krome Detention Center. On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the Trump administration will begin deporting U.S. lawful permanent residents who have ties to Viv Ansanm, a Haitian armed group that was recently labeled a terrorist organization by the Trump administration.
