Chile returned a planeload of Haitian immigrants back to their native country on Nov. 7 after its government implemented its Humanitarian Return Plan that was criticized by migrant groups as a “covert deportation.”

At a Santiago sports center, 176 people gathered to board coaches for the airport and a Chilean air force flight destined for the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.
