55 US families seek humanitarian parole for 70 adopted children from Haiti amid gang violence.

Amid escalating gang violence in Haiti, 55 U.S. families from Tennessee to California are seeking humanitarian parole for 70 children they are adopting. Gangs control 80% of the capital, complicating the adoption process. While the Haitian Central Adoption Authority permits the children's departure, other authorities oppose it. The U.S. has previously granted similar parole but now limits it to specific cases. Lawmakers are advocating for the families to expedite the process.
