As protests against President #DonaldTrump’s imm

As protests against President #DonaldTrump’s immigration policies sweep across the country, U.S. Marines have arrived at #GuantanamoBay, a U.S. naval base on the southeastern coast of #Cuba, to support the administration’s migrant deportation plan.⁠
⁠
The Trump administration has also begun flying detained migrants from the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay, #WhiteHouse press secretary #KarolineLeavitt told reporters Tuesday. The move follows Trump’s recent directive instructing the Pentagon to prepare the facility to detain up to 30,000 “criminal illegal aliens.” On Wednesday, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to using the detention center to house what he called the “worst criminal aliens.”⁠
⁠
In response, demonstrations erupted in cities nationwide, with thousands participating in “A Day Without Immigrants,” a social media-driven protest highlighting the contributions of noncitizens to the U.S. economy. The campaign urged immigrants and their allies to stay home from work and school, leading to the closure of shops, restaurants, and other businesses.⁠
⁠
Across the country, pockets of resistance formed in Northwest #Florida, #LosAngeles, #Atlanta, #Texas, #NewYork, and #SouthFlorida, where demonstrators voiced their outrage over Trump’s deportation policies. In several cities, hundreds gathered at busy intersections, waving signs and Mexican flags in solidarity with immigrants.⁠
⁠
While we do not have any confirmed reports of #Haitian immigrants participating in these protests, #Haitian immigrants in the U.S. remain in a precarious position as they await critical updates on Temporary Protected Status (TPS). With President Trump’s administration ending the humanitarian parole program and the closure of the CBP One app, which was a primary avenue for asylum seekers, Haitian communities now face even greater uncertainty. ⁠

#BREAKING - The United States has informed the #Un

#BREAKING - The United States has informed the #UnitedNations that it is freezing funding for a U.N.-backed mission in #Haiti aimed at combating gangs seeking full control of the country’s capital, the U.N. announced on Tuesday. ⁠
⁠
Led by #Kenyan police, the mission was launched last year but has struggled with funding shortages and limited personnel. The U.S., previously the mission’s largest financial contributor, had committed $15 million to the trust fund supporting the multinational force. According to U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric, $1.7 million of that amount has already been used, leaving $13.3 million now frozen. He warned that the funding halt would have an “immediate impact” on operations. ⁠
⁠
This decision follows a sweeping freeze on foreign assistance imposed by U.S. President #DonaldTrump, leading to widespread layoffs of U.S. aid agency employees and the shutdown of international programs. U.S. Secretary of State #MarcoRubio has introduced a waiver for life-saving initiatives, but ongoing confusion over which programs are exempt along with fears of losing U.S. aid permanently has stalled global aid and development efforts. ⁠
⁠
Avvoridng to @APNews, officials leading the Kenyan mission appeared caught off guard by the funding freeze. When asked for comment, mission spokesman Jack Mbaka declined to provide an immediate response. The mission works in coordination with Haiti’s National Police, which has long faced severe understaffing and financial constraints. Despite receiving millions in U.S. support over recent years, only about 4,000 Haitian police officers are on active duty at any given time in a nation of more than 11 million people. ⁠
⁠
The announcement came just hours after a military unit of 70 soldiers from El Salvador arrived in Haiti, joining over 600 Kenyan police officers and security forces from other nations, including Jamaica and Guatemala. It remains unclear how the U.S. funding halt will affect discussions on potentially transitioning the mission into a U.N. peacekeeping force. ⁠

A military contingent of 70 #Salvadoran soldiers arrived in #Haiti on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, to support the ongoing efforts of the Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSS). These soldiers will provide critical air support for medical evacuations in the ongoing operations against the armed gangs terrorizing Haiti.
The Salvadoran troops were welcomed at Toussaint Louverture International Airport by several key figures, including the President of the Presidential Transitional Council, Leslie Voltaire, Director General of the #Haitian National Police (PNH), Rameau Normil, and Commander-in-Chief of the MMSS, Godfrey Utunge. Representatives from the international community, including ambassadors from #France and #Canada, Antoine Michon and André François Guiroux, were also present.
The 70 soldiers are the latest addition to the multinational force combating gang violence, which continues to escalate across the nation. They join additional international police forces, including 600 Kenyan officers deployed last month, as well as police, soldiers, and officials from #Jamaica, #Guatemala, and other countries.
Gang violence remains rampant, with gunmen recently killing at least 40 people in an upscale community of #PortauPrince. The Salvadoran troops’ expertise in air support is expected to be vital in medical evacuations, helping to safeguard the lives of civilians and those caught in the crossfire.

#UPDATE - #USNews - After a day of intense negotia

#UPDATE - #USNews - After a day of intense negotiations on February 3, 2025, U.S. President #DonaldTrump agreed to a 30-day suspension of the planned 25% tariffs on imports from #Canada and #Mexico. This decision was made following commitments from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to enhance border security and combat drug trafficking. ⁠
⁠
As part of the agreement, Mexico will deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to its northern border to address issues related to illegal immigration and drug smuggling. Canada has appointed a Fentanyl Czar to oversee efforts against the trafficking of the deadly opioid. ⁠
⁠
Despite the pause in tariffs for Canada and Mexico, the U.S. is proceeding with a 10% tariff on #Chinese imports, set to take effect on February 4, 2025. This move is expected further to escalate trade tensions between the U.S. and #China. The 30-day suspension allows Canada and Mexico to implement the agreed-upon measures. If satisfactory progress is not observed, the U.S. may proceed with the tariffs after the pause expires. ⁠
⁠
The business community has expressed concerns over the potential economic impact of these tariffs, including increased costs for consumers and disruptions to supply chains. Industry leaders closely monitor the situation, hoping for a resolution that avoids long-term economic repercussions.⁠
⁠
As the situation evolves, stakeholders across North America are bracing for potential changes in trade dynamics and preparing contingency plans to mitigate any adverse effects. #lunionsuite

#USNews - The United States and Canada are current

#USNews - The United States and Canada are currently embroiled in a significant trade dispute. Under President #DonaldTrump, the U.S. administration announced a 25% tariff on imports from #Canada and #Mexico and a 10% tariff on goods from #China. Energy resources from Canada were subjected to a lower 10% tariff. The stated rationale for these tariffs was to hold these countries accountable for issues related to illegal immigration and the trafficking of drugs like fentanyl into the United States. ⁠
⁠
The #Canadian government unveiled a comprehensive plan to counter these measures in response. Canada announced a 25% tariff on $155 billion worth of imported U.S. products, effective February 4, 2025. The initial list includes items such as beverages, cosmetics, and paper products. Additionally, Canada plans to impose tariffs on an additional $125 billion worth of U.S. goods, including vehicles, steel, aluminum, and various agricultural products, following a public comment period.⁠
⁠
Economists predict that these tariffs will lead to higher prices for goods in both countries. In the U.S., consumers may see increased costs for products like avocados, beer, gasoline, cars, electronics, and construction materials. The construction industry, in particular, could face challenges due to increased costs of steel, lumber, and other materials imported from Canada. ⁠
⁠
The outcome of this tariff conflict will have significant implications for the economic relationship between the U.S. and Canada and for consumers and businesses on both sides of the border. #lunionsuite

Two champions, one legendary moment: #HaitianAmeri

Two champions, one legendary moment: #HaitianAmerican boxer @AndreBerto shared a clip of himself in the ring training with #ClaressaShields ahead of her historic fight on Sunday night. The former two-time welterweight world champion, known for his explosive power and resilience, posted the video with a message of encouragement: ⁠
⁠
“S/o lil sis ‘GWOAT’ @claressashields, handle ya business tonight. Undisputed heavyweight champion has a good ring to it.”⁠
⁠
Claressa Shields, an American professional boxer, did just that. She made history by becoming the first-ever undisputed women’s heavyweight champion after dropping #DaniellePerkins in the final seconds of the 10th round. With this victory, she also became the first boxer—male or female—to claim undisputed status in three different weight classes during the four-belt era, having previously achieved the feat at junior middleweight and middleweight. ⁠
⁠⁠
Berto, a former Olympian with a 32-5 record and 24 knockouts, knows what it takes to dominate in the sport. His support for Shields highlights the bond between champions and her growing legacy as one of boxing’s all-time greats. Congrats Claressa!!! ⁠

As the uncertainty surrounding immigration policie

As the uncertainty surrounding immigration policies grows, #CentralFlorida leaders have been hosting town halls across counties to offer support and resources to families living in fear. The discussions come in light of President #DonaldTrump’s ongoing push for mass immigration reform, which has left many communities, especially #Haitians and #Venezuelans, on edge.⁠
⁠
On Sunday, leaders from the Greater #HaitianAmerican Chamber of Commerce, local government, and The Kingdom Church gathered in #OrangeCounty to provide essential information and support for families affected by the shifting landscape of immigration law. Thousands of Haitians and Venezuelans in Florida currently live under Temporary Protected Status (#TPS), a program that has allowed them to stay and work in the U.S. since its implementation legally.⁠
⁠
Under former President #JoeBiden’s administration, TPS was extended to these communities, granting them legal status through 2026. However, the recent #Trump administration’s decision to cancel the extension for #Venezuelans has sparked widespread fear that #Haitians could be next in line to lose their TPS status. ⁠
⁠
Florida is home to one of the largest populations of TPS holders in the U.S., and local advocates stress the importance of protecting these workers. Keeping TPS holders in the workforce ensures they continue contributing to the economy, paying taxes, and strengthening the state’s financial stability.⁠
⁠
In a time of great uncertainty, Central Florida leaders say they remain committed to supporting families and ensuring that communities understand their rights and available resources.⁠
