Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) helped rescue a group of 10 Americans in crime-ravaged Haiti, marking the third time that U.S. citizens have needed rescue during a foreign crisis under the Biden administration.
“I am proud to report that my team and I were successful in evacuating and rescuing a trapped, and at risk group of Americans from ‘Have Faith Orphanage’ in Haiti last night,” Mills announced on X.

“This recent mission reiterates a disturbing reality that under President Biden’s leadership American lives are continually jeopardized,” Mills wrote. “I have conducted rescue/evacs of Americans multiple times when Joe Biden has deserted them”
“There’s a clear pattern of abandonment,” Mills added, citing rescue missions in Afghanistan following the disastrous withdrawal by Biden in 2021, as well as a rescue of Americans from Israel in late 2023 following the attack by Hamas, both of which were led by Mills. “Americans at home and abroad are more unsafe under Biden than ever before. We need President Trump back in the White House as the world can’t afford 4 more years of Biden’s failed administration.”
“Yet again this group was left behind by Biden and his State Department after requesting their help in country,” he said in a statement to Fox News.
Mills, a veteran who served in Iraq with the 82nd Airborne Division before winning his House seat in 2023, evacuated 10 Americans who worked at the Have Faith Orphanage in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.
Over the weekend, the U.S. military sent forces to the island nation at the request of the State Department to bolster security at the U.S. Embassy, airlifting non-essential personnel, including family of diplomats, who had remained after an order for such individuals to evacuate last summer.
The State Department previously said in would continue to monitor the situation and consider its options, including the deployment of forces to help with security at the U.S. Embassy.
“We have no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas,” a U.S. State Department spokesperson said, adding, “The U.S. Embassy remains open with limited staffing and will continue to provide assistance to U.S. citizens as necessary.”
State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said that he did not have a definitive number in terms of how many Americans were still in Haiti and trying to return home.
“U.S. citizens wishing to depart Port-au-Prince should monitor local news and information on security conditions from commercial transportation providers and should arrange to leave Haiti when security conditions and commercial transportation options permit doing so,” he explained.
Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) told Fox News in an exclusive statement that she is “eternally grateful” to Mills for rescuing the Americans, some of whom are among her constituents.

“Those stranded in war-torn Haiti were left hopeless and without options,” McClain said. “The State Department’s answer was to sign up for a notification system and wait for alerts: They offered no real assistance, no opportunities to be rescued, and no plan whatsoever.”
“That’s why Rep. Mills and I had to take the matter into our own hands and save stranded American citizens,” McClain added. “We worked around the clock to do the work the Biden administration was unwilling to do, and I am eternally grateful for the heroic actions my friend Cory Mills took in traveling to Haiti and physically rescuing Michiganders that were left behind.”
“I am pleased that we were able to save so many, but countless more remain,” McClain warned. “I am infuriated that the State Department has so carelessly left so many Americans to die in Haiti.”
Mills previously helped evacuate an American family overland from Afghanistan, with the help of a group of military veterans. He says that his original plan of an air evacuation could have rescued over two dozen. Mills also pulled 32 Americans out of Israel while travel was shut down and countries were scrambling to evacuate their citizens from the nation.
