#HaitianExcellence 🇭🇹 ⁠ Netflix's acclaime

#HaitianExcellence 🇭🇹 ⁠
Netflix's acclaimed comedy-drama series, Survival of the Thickest, returned for its second season on March 27. The show continues to follow #MavisBeaumont, portrayed by #HaitianAmerican actress and comedian @MichelleButeau, as she navigates the complexities of her career and personal life in #NewYorkCity. Mavis, a plus-size Black woman and aspiring stylist, embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment after a challenging breakup.⁠
⁠
Season 2 welcomes back @Garcelle Beauvais, another prominent #HaitianAmerican actress, reprising her role as Natasha Karina, a legendary '90s supermodel and client of Mavis. Beauvais, renowned for her roles in The Jamie Foxx Show, Coming to America, and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, adds depth and star power to the series. The collaboration between Buteau and Beauvais highlights the show's commitment to showcasing diverse narratives and authentic representation.⁠
⁠
The series has been praised for its authentic portrayal of body positivity, LGBTQ+ inclusivity, and the vibrant dynamics of friendship and romance.

A recent policy shift by the U.S. Department of Ho

A recent policy shift by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has left thousands of immigrants facing sudden deportation, including Wendy (Wendsy) Desrivieres, a #Haitian national who has been living in #Missouri under a parole program. ⁠
⁠
The federal government’s decision to terminate specific parole programs for nationals of #Cuba, #Haiti, #Nicaragua, and #Venezuela means that many individuals, including Desrivieres, must leave the United States within 30 days. His two-year stay, initially set to last until 2026, will end abruptly in April 2024, one year earlier than expected. ⁠
⁠
According to @Newsnationnow, Desrivieres met the Morris family over a decade ago through a mission program. Pastor Ralph Morris, who has led VCU Church in Ray County for 34 years, and his wife, Diana, became his sponsors, offering him a place in their family. ⁠
⁠
“They replaced my mom and dad,” Desrivieres shared, recalling how he lost his mother at age 11 and his father at age 8. Leaving #Haiti due to escalating violence, he came to the U.S. under the Refugee Parole Program, believing he would have at least two years to build a stable life. He now faces an uncertain future, relying on his faith to guide him. ⁠
⁠
Morris is among many who question the sudden policy change that has affected over 530,000 individuals who have received similar deportation notices. ⁠
⁠
“We’ve done everything legally,” Morris said, emphasizing that Desrivieres arrived through a **government-sanctioned program** and followed all required immigration procedures. Desrivieres has a Social Security card, a full-time job, and a permanent residence. He has complied with immigration interviews, fingerprinting, and documentation requests**, yet he now faces removal with little explanation. ⁠
⁠
Adding to the complexity, the U.S. Embassy in Haiti has been closed since August 2023, making it nearly impossible for many to secure visas through other legal channels. As the deadline looms, Desrivieres’ fate remains uncertain, highlighting the far-reaching consequences of the parole program’s termination for families across the U.S.⁠

Two #Kenyan police officers deployed in #Haiti hav

Two #Kenyan police officers deployed in #Haiti have suffered severe injuries in recent clashes with armed gangs over the past week, according to three officers who spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity due to security concerns. The latest casualties add to the growing challenges faced by the Multinational Security Support (#MSS) mission, which has been under increasing attacks.
Kenya initially deployed its personnel in June as part of the MSS mission, which currently comprises around 1,000 security forces, with approximately 75% being Kenyan officers. The mission's primary objective is to stabilize Haiti enough to facilitate elections by February 2026. However, from its inception, the operation has struggled with low morale and uncertainty regarding its expansion amid escalating gang violence.
The MSS recorded its first fatality in February, and just last week, a Kenyan officer was reported missing. According to the three officers, he is now presumed dead. The two injured officers were harmed during routine patrols in and around Port-au-Prince, an area largely controlled by heavily armed gangs responsible for thousands of deaths since 2021.
MSS spokesperson Jack Ombaka confirmed that both officers had been airlifted to the Dominican Republic for medical treatment. Officers on the ground report that gang attacks have become more frequent, raising concerns over inadequate protective gear. One officer sustained a head injury when a bullet penetrated his helmet, while another was struck in the ear after gunfire breached the walls of an armored vehicle.
Amid growing safety concerns, twenty armored vehicles were taken out of service over the weekend after officers refused to use them, citing their inability to withstand gunfire. According to the three officers, this marks the second time a supposedly bulletproof vehicle failed to protect its occupants.
In response, a delegation from the MSS plans to visit Washington this week to discuss concerns over the quality of protective equipment with U.S. officials, according to two senior MSS officers. The United States has been the mission’s primary source of funding and equipment. #lunionsuite

On March 30, tensions erupted in the #DominicanRep

On March 30, tensions erupted in the #DominicanRepublic's Hoyo de Friusa as anti-Haitian protesters clashed with police. The demonstration, organized by the nationalist group Antigua Orden Dominicana (AOD), called for the expulsion of #Haitian migrants. Protesters argued that undocumented Haitian migrants were responsible for crimes in Hoyo de Friusa and surrounding towns such as Punta Cana, Bávaro, and Higüey.⁠
⁠
The protest was the latest chapter in the ongoing diplomatic and social friction between the #Dominican and Haitian governments. A dispute over Haiti's construction of an irrigation canal near the shared border in the fall of 2023 had escalated tensions. Dominican President #LuisAbinader initiated a mass deportation campaign, expelling thousands of Haitian migrants. In January 2025, the Dominican General Directorate of Migration reported the expulsion of 14,633 Haitians within just the first fifteen days of the month, illustrating the heightened tensions.⁠
⁠
As the march escalated, tensions intensified across the region, fueling further divisions between the two nations. The situation turned chaotic as demonstrators hurled rocks at police, forcing their way into Haitian residential areas despite a significant security presence. Santiago Molina, a Dominican lawyer advocating for Haitians facing discrimination, witnessed the events firsthand. He described how demonstrators clashed with police, forcing their way into Haitian-dominated neighborhoods despite the presence of hundreds of guards trying to maintain order.⁠
⁠
Initially, the protest had been scheduled on a route approved by authorities, but around 6 p.m., the nationalist group veered off course and moved into the Haitian-dominated neighborhoods, escalating the situation further.⁠
⁠
This protest highlights the growing anti-Haitian sentiment in the Dominican Republic. The Haitian community, which has long faced marginalization and discrimination, found itself again at the center of a politically charged situation. Meanwhile, the Haitian government has yet to make a formal statement about the harassment of its citizens in the Dominican Republic. ⁠
