The U.S. is operating expulsion flights for Haitian migrants back to Port-au-Prince, with more than 320 migrants arriving Sunday.  

Haiti says six more flights are expected Tuesday, as officials in the U.S. move to return more than 12,000 migrants camped under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, back to their homeland.  

It is the largest expulsion without an opportunity to seek asylum since 1992.  

The U.S. closed parts of the U.S.- Mexico  border on Sunday.  Mexico said Sunday it would also begin deporting Haitians back to their island nation.
