The U.S. military conducted an overnight mission to evacuate staff and add security at the embassy in Port-au-Prince.


The military airlifted U.S. personnel into and out of the embassy at the request of the U.S. State Department, according to an early Sunday statement from U.S. Southern Command. 


"This airlift of personnel into and out of the embassy is consistent with our standard practice for embassy security augmentation worldwide, and no Haitians were on board the military aircraft," the U.S. military's Southern Command said in a statement.


In the meantime, the Biden administration has been considering contingency plans for months, according to a U.S. official, who was granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation. 


The United States has decided not to send U.S. military forces to intervene in the situation, and instead “enable and encourage our international partners to resolve it themselves,” the official said.
