This mission, dubbed Operation Yellowtail, was orchestrated by Project DYNAMO, a nonprofit international search and rescue organization that steps in where the U.S. government is unable or unwilling to act, as stated on its website.
According to The Post Millennial, the operation involved the medical evacuation of a Christian missionary, his wife, and their infant daughter, who was suffering from health issues, from a nation beset by violence and instability following governmental collapse. Despite the "extreme danger," the mission was accomplished successfully. The family is expected to return to their home in Texas later this week, following medical assessments and necessary documentation at the U.S. embassy in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, as per the organization's press release.

Identified as Zachary Ennis, 24, his wife Mica, 26, and their 5-month-old daughter, Niah, the family had been confined to a mission compound in Saint-Marc, Haiti, due to relentless gang violence. The situation escalated when a local gang decapitated a man and displayed his head outside the property, a site frequently targeted due to its strategic significance.

The rescue team embarked from Miami, Florida, at 4:30 am EST, utilizing three aircraft, including a private plane and a helicopter. The mission was bolstered by cooperation from two additional nations, notably the Dominican Republic. The family was initially airlifted from Saint-Marc by helicopter and subsequently transferred to a private aircraft in Cap-Haitien, Haiti. The Project DYNAMO team and the rescued family reached Santo Domingo late Monday night after a brief stopover in another country.

Mario Duarte, CEO of Project DYNAMO, expressed gratitude in the press release: "We are extremely grateful to the government of the Dominican Republic and the Directorate of National Intelligence for their support with this mission." He also acknowledged the crucial role of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, stating, "Without the help of him and his office, the mission would not have been possible. The bottom line is this: when and where no one else will go, if Americans are in harm's way, Project DYNAMO continues to demonstrate, we will respond."

The mission was initiated following a plea from Zachary's mother, Dianne Ennis, who conveyed profound appreciation for the rescuers. "We had family, friends, and neighbors praying for a successful outcome, and with God's help, everyone made it to safety," she remarked. "My entire family is so grateful to Project DYNAMO and their team for working so hard to get our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter safely out of Haiti."
Founded in 2021, Project DYNAMO's inaugural mission was to rescue American citizens stranded in Afghanistan during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal under the Biden administration.
