## Recent evidence

- [confirms] Nearly 200,000 People Have Been Forcibly Returned to Haiti This Year, the United Nations Says (2026-08-29): The United Nations told an emergency Security Council session that nearly 200,000 people have been forcibly returned to Haiti this year, a session convened after gangs killed 47 people and abducted more than 50 near Port-au-Prince. Returns at that scale into a state losing territorial control is the precise mechanism the thesis describes: deportation volume rising as absorptive capacity collapses.
