The Trump administration claims that Pierre Reginald Boulos was “expelled” from the United States on Saturday, April 11, after a family associate had indicated that he had “left” the U.S. following an agreement with the government.

“The Trump administration will not allow anyone who supports the brutal gangs terrorizing Haitians to remain on U.S. soil. This week, Reginald Boulos was expelled from the United States for destabilizing Haiti,” reads a post from the United States Embassy in Haiti.
