Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., helped rescue a group of Americans from Haiti, marking the third rescue of US citizens 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 told Fox News Digital.
“This mission reiterates a disturbing reality under President Biden’s leadership: American lives are continually jeopardized,” Mills said. “I have led missions to rescue Americans multiple times when Joe Biden has deserted them.”
“There’s a clear pattern of abandonment,” Mills said, citing his rescue missions in Afghanistan following the US military drawdown in 2021 and the rescue of Americans from Israel in late 2023. “Yet again, this group was left behind by Biden and his State Department after requesting their help in-country.”
Mills told Florida Politics he personally paid for the evacuation operation from Haiti. He was on the flights transporting individuals off the island, sharing video footage from the helicopter and a still of rescued individuals.
Mills, while still just a candidate for Congress, conducted the evacuation of Americans from Afghanistan amid a withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2021. Last year, he similarly conducted a rescue of citizens from Israel following the Oct. 7 attacks there by Hamas.
