It seems things in Haiti are going very, very badly. There have been reports of unrest and mass prison breaks for a while, but things have gotten even worse in the past week.
Now Politico and other outlets are reporting the US is evacuating 'non-essential' personnel from the Embassy and the Marines are providing security in the capital of Port-au-Prince.
We'll start here, with Newsweek:

They write:
The U.S. Embassy in Haiti is evacuating some of its personnel from the nation's capital as rampant gang violence intensifies.
"Heightened gang violence in the neighborhood near U.S. Embassy compounds and near the airport led to the State Department's decision to arrange for the departure of additional embassy personnel," the embassy, based in Port-au-Prince, said in a statement on Sunday.
The embassy remains open. The U.S. had previously warned its citizens that they should "depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options."
More than 4K criminals broke out of Haitian prisons last week and they are trying to take control of the airport. Before that, the leader of Haiti was assassinated and many of the assassins were reported to be connected directly to the Biden US government. A few months ago, CIA…

The entire post reads:
A few months ago, CIA trained strong man and one time candidate for president of Haiti, Guy Phillipe, was released from US prison and returned to Haiti. I said at the time all hell was going to break loose in Haiti on his return.
One of his talents was to use UN trucks and personnel to transport drugs and sex slaves to ports and planes. They have it on video. The UN in Haiti is as corrupt as everyone else.
And now? The US borders are wide open.
Somewhere the cartels are either making deals with Phillipe or getting ready for war with him.
The US embassy is bugging out. Haitians in SoFla work hard here and the majority came here legally. All have family in Haiti. I don’t know what the hell the Democrats are doing with this activity but they need to fix it right the hell now. All of this happened under Biden. All of it. This chaos cannot be allowed to continue.
Back in December of 2023, heavy gunfire put the Embassy in lockdown.

Just incredible to watch this unfold.
We’re about to lose another embassy on Biden’s watch.

Haiti is in total crisis.
They’re now evacuating the US Embassy.
Is this all we do under Biden?

Remember when Biden's election meant the world would respect us and there would be peace?
Good times.

The French government was brutal in Haiti, but at least things didn't descend into this level of chaos.
Our foreign policy is a disaster.

A major disaster.
US govt should install Hillary Clinton as president of Haiti. https://t.co/7RNNKDUtpP

It's snark, but what did the Clinton Foundation do for Haiti? Not a darned thing.
Remember when Trump called Haiti a 's**thole' and the Left lost their minds?
