Rising boxing star Jay Dabelus was on the last deportation flight to Haiti.
Disregard video quality and “Bahamian deportee”. Even though Dabelus was born in The Bahamas and grew up entirely in Florida, The Bahamas historically does not grant automatic birthright citizenship to children born to foreign parents. Instead, because his parents are of Haitian origin, he inherited Haitian citizenship, which gave the United States the legal framework to deport him to Haiti once his U.S. immigration protections expired.
