Cory Mills leads second mission, successfully evacuating 13 Americans from Haiti
A Daring Weekend Rescue: Congressman Mills’ Second Haitian Mission
In a daring act of heroism over the weekend, Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) orchestrated a harrowing rescue of 13 American citizens from the grips of Haiti’s turmoil, emphasizing his unwavering commitment as this marks his second successful rescue mission to the beleaguered Caribbean country.
A Glimmer of Hope for American Lives
The group’s fortitude was rewarded by Congressman Mills’ unwavering determination. Despite the escalating danger, the mission was a beacon of hope, particularly as it included the safe recovery of the youngest victims caught in Haiti’s crisis – a two-month-old baby and a three-year-old girl. This remarkable effort took place not long after Mills’ recent rescue of ten Americans associated with the “Have Faith” orphanage.
“Like many, the [Americans] made all attempts to work through the [U.S.] government but with no success. I’ve now rescued more Americans from Haiti than all the Biden administration. It’s not the first time if we account for the 255 Americans I rescued in October of 2023, and before that, the Americans from Afghanistan in 2021.” – Rep. Cory Mills
The backdrop of these perilous rescue operations is a country succumbing to lawlessness, with gangs controlling the Haitian capital. As the turmoil leads to a government shake-up and resignation of former Prime Minister Ariel Henry, the safety and sustenance of over a million Haitians hang in the balance, with food sources being commandeered by criminal factions.
Challenging the Status Quo
Rep. Mills did not hold back his critique of the Biden administration’s response, firmly stating the imperative need for leadership in times of such dire international crises. His words bring to light the hard-hitting truth facing Americans stranded in global hotspots – the need for self-reliant rescue initiatives spearheaded by valiant citizens and nonprofit organizations like Project Dynamo, which have stepped up to the call of service.
While the State Department has announced its own evacuation plans, including a chartered flight from Cap-Haitian, Mills’ actions underscore the urgency and complexity of safely navigating American citizens to flight points – a daunting task amidst gang-controlled routes and an absence of safe ground transportation.
As the world watches these brave rescues unfold, one fact remains clear: when governmental processes falter, it’s the fearless actions of individuals like Rep. Mills that illuminate the courage inherent in ensuring the safety and welfare of American lives abroad.

Overcoming Barriers, One Rescue at a Time
The tumultuous journey to Cap-Haitian, roughly 130 miles from the chaos of Port-au-Prince, paints a vivid picture of the perils that lie between endangered U.S. citizens and their pathway home. With each rescue, the congressman and his team are not just charting a course away from danger, but also charting a course towards hope and the affirmation of the unyielding human spirit.
