#BREAKINGNEWS — The #Trump administration has an

#BREAKINGNEWS — The #Trump administration has announced a rollback of the 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (#TPS) for more than 500,000 Haitians residing in the United States, igniting concerns about their safety and future. The Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) confirmed on Thursday that Haiti’s TPS will officially expire on August 3, 2025, reversing an extension previously set by the Biden administration.⁠
⁠
According to @MiamiHerald, the decision to end #TPS was met with harsh criticism from many, including Ira Kurzban, a Miami-based immigration attorney who fought to protect TPS for #Haitians during the Trump administration’s previous attempt to terminate the program. Kurzban argued that the rollback of protections would send Haitians back into imminent danger, stating, “Even an elementary understanding of Haiti would lead any normal person to understand these people are in danger.”⁠
⁠
Guerline Jozef, the head of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, called the administration’s move “a cruel and calculated attack on Black and brown immigrants.” She added that the decision is “nothing short of a death sentence” for many Haitians, given the rampant insecurity and humanitarian crisis in the country.⁠
⁠
The move to cut TPS for Haitians is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to roll back protections for nationals of other countries facing violence and unrest. Last month, the administration also ended TPS for half of the #Venezuelan recipients, citing similar reasons. Immigration advocates fear that this could set a dangerous precedent for other vulnerable populations.⁠
⁠
Human rights advocates argue that the Trump administration’s decision ignores the fact that Haiti’s situation has not improved since TPS was first designated in 2010.

#LunionSuiteExcellence 🇭🇹 ⁠ CBS is making

#LunionSuiteExcellence 🇭🇹 ⁠
CBS is making television history with #BeyondtheGates, the first Black-led daytime soap opera in 35 years and the first new network soap in over 25 years. Among the stars of this groundbreaking series is #HaitianAmerican actress @Theonlydaphneeduplaix, who plays Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson. ⁠
⁠
Speaking to CBS Mornings, stars Tamara Tunie and Duplaix emphasized the importance of the moment. “You see yourself in the people that you’re working with,” they shared, reflecting on the significance of a predominantly Black cast leading a network daytime drama. ⁠
⁠
Two other #Haitian actors, in addition to Duplaix, are part of the series. @Arielleprepetit plays Dani Dupree, the oldest daughter of Bill Hamilton and Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne. Prepetit’s role further highlights Haitian-American talent in this groundbreaking series. @Stevendanielbrun also has a recurring role as a maître d. Duplaix shared the news with us, proudly showcasing the representation of Haitian talent in this historic production. ⁠
⁠
The series follows the powerful and prestigious Dupree family as they navigate life in an affluent Maryland suburb. Duplaix praised the show for portraying Black excellence in a way that goes beyond traditional media portrayals. The show results from years of work by Sheila Ducksworth, president of CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, and creator and showrunner Michele Val Jean (*General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful*). ⁠
⁠
Duplaix is joined by an impressive cast, including Tamara Tunie as Anita Dupree, Clifton Davis as Vernon Dupree, and Karla Mosley as Dani Dupree. With a backdrop of wealth and prestige, @Beyondthegatescbs promises plenty of drama, secrets, scandals, and power struggles within the Dupree family’s world. ⁠
⁠
For Duplaix, the show is part of a more significant shift toward authentic storytelling. As a leading Haitian-American actress, her presence highlights the growing visibility of Haitian talent in Hollywood. With CBS and the NAACP backing this landmark production, the show is set to redefine daytime television. On Feb. 24, viewers will finally see it all come to light.⁠

Authorities in #Haiti have issued more than a doze

Authorities in #Haiti have issued more than a dozen arrest warrants for individuals accused of supporting gang members responsible for violent attacks in #Kenscoff, a community near the capital, The Associated Press reported. The assaults, which have been ongoing for the past three weeks, have left dozens dead, including three police officers and one soldier, police spokesman Lionel Lazarre announced Tuesday.⁠
⁠
Among those accused of plotting against the government and aiding the gangs are former Senator Nenel Cassy and former Kenscoff legislator Alfredo Antoine. Neither could immediately be reached for comment, The Associated Press noted. ⁠
⁠
A two-month-old baby was among the victims, according to the Cooperative for Peace and Development. This local human rights group has called for the establishment of an international tribunal to prosecute those responsible for the deaths of thousands, including children, in recent years. Despite the challenges of accessing gang-controlled areas, Lazarre vowed to continue security operations, stating that “a lot” of gang members had been killed, though he did not provide specific figures.⁠
⁠
According to The Associated Press, gangs now control 85% of Port-au-Prince and have expanded their reach, targeting previously stable communities in their push for more territory. The United Nations reported that over 5,600 people were killed in Haiti last year, with gang violence displacing more than one million residents.⁠

Michael Adrian Nieto, 31, a former St. Cloud, Flor

Michael Adrian Nieto, 31, a former St. Cloud, Florida police officer, has pleaded guilty to illegally dealing firearms, a crime that could land him a maximum of five years in federal prison. His guilty plea reveals a disturbing involvement in trafficking firearms to international criminal operations, with smuggling links to the #DominicanRepublic, #PuertoRico, and #Haiti. ⁠
⁠
According to the plea agreement, Nieto, while serving as a law enforcement officer, routinely purchased and resold firearms to various individuals. One of his primary contacts, Ernesto Vazquez, was a key figure in a criminal conspiracy that trafficked firearms internationally. In his corrupt actions, Nieto used his access to police databases to provide Vazquez with sensitive and confidential information, further aiding the illegal operation.⁠
⁠
From June 6, 2022, to September 4, 2024, Nieto purchased at least 58 firearms, many of which were identical and bought in close proximity to each other. Federal authorities, including the #FBI and #ATF, executed a search warrant at Nieto’s residence on October 17, 2024, recovering 12 firearms. ⁠
⁠
During the investigation, Nieto admitted to knowingly supplying firearms to Vazquez, fully aware that they would be smuggled and transferred to third parties in violation of federal law. He also acknowledged receiving illegal items, including a machinegun conversion device, from Vazquez.⁠
⁠
Vazquez, who was also involved in the conspiracy, has already pleaded guilty to trafficking firearms and is awaiting sentencing, scheduled for March 25, 2025.⁠

The frequency and severity of plane crashes in rec

The frequency and severity of plane crashes in recent months have raised alarm bells, with many seeking answers about the underlying causes of these tragic incidents. In the latest incident, a devastating midair collision between two small planes at an #Arizona airport on Wednesday morning has left at least two people dead.⁠
⁠
The collision occurred at Marana Regional Airport when a Lancair 360 MK II and a Cessna 172S crashed into each other just before 8:30 a.m. local time. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (#FAA), the airport is an uncontrolled field, meaning it does not have an operating air traffic control tower. Both aircraft had two passengers each, but further details have not been released. This incident is the latest in a series of recent aircraft crashes, including:⁠
⁠
A fiery crash-landing at a #Toronto airport, a fatal air ambulance crash in #Philadelphia on January 31, a midair collision between an Army helicopter and a commercial airplane, resulting in the deaths of all 67 passengers on board, the frequency and severity of these incidents have raised concerns among the public and the aviation community. As investigations into these crashes continue, questions remain about what’s causing this alarming trend in plane crashes.⁠

#BREAKINGNEWS: @CBSNews has exclusively learned th

#BREAKINGNEWS: @CBSNews has exclusively learned that the #Trump administration has enacted an indefinite pause on all immigration applications from migrants admitted under specific #Biden-era programs, citing concerns over fraud and national security. This suspension affects individuals from #LatinAmerica and #Ukraine who entered the U.S. through initiatives such as Uniting for Ukraine and the #CHNV program.⁠
⁠
In a memo dated February 14, Andrew Davidson, Acting Deputy Director of U.S. #Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), ordered an agency-wide “administrative pause” on all pending benefit requests associated with these programs. The Uniting for #Ukraine initiative had provided refuge to approximately 240,000 Ukrainians fleeing the #Russian invasion, while the CHNV program allowed 530,000 individuals from #Cuba, #Haiti, #Nicaragua, and #Venezuela to enter the U.S. with American sponsors.⁠
⁠
This move follows the administration’s earlier decision to halt new entries under these programs, now extending the suspension to applications from migrants already residing in the U.S. The freeze will remain in effect indefinitely as officials conduct a comprehensive review to identify potential fraud and enhance vetting procedures. This development leaves hundreds of thousands of migrants in a state of uncertainty regarding their legal status and future in the country.⁠

#InMemoriam 🕊️🙏🏾🇭🇹 ⁠ The music

#InMemoriam 🕊️🙏🏾🇭🇹 ⁠
The music world is mourning the loss of Félix Cumbé, the Haitian-Dominican merengue and bachata legend who passed away on February 11, 2025, at the age of 60. Born Critz Sterlin in #PortauPrince, #Haiti, Cumbé's life was a testament to the power of music to transcend borders and cultures.⁠
⁠
Cumbé's journey in music began at a young age, and despite facing numerous challenges, including living undocumented in the #DominicanRepublic for much of his life, his talent and dedication earned him a place in the hearts of fans across the #Caribbean.⁠
⁠
With hits like "El Gatico" and "Déjame Volver," Cumbé became a household name in the 1980s. He collaborated with renowned artists like Aníbal Bravo and Fernando Villalona. His contributions to merengue and bachata are immeasurable, and his music remains a beloved part of #Dominican cultural heritage. In 2021, Cumbé was officially granted Dominican citizenship. Félix Cumbé is survived by his wife and two children. ⁠
⁠
As fans and fellow artists express their condolences on social media, one thing is clear: Cumbé's legacy will live on through his music, a timeless tribute to the power of art to inspire and unite us. Rest in peace, Félix Cumbé. Your rhythms and lyrics will continue to bring joy to generations of fans, a lasting testament to your enduring legacy.⁠

In an unprecedented move, #Haiti’s government ha

In an unprecedented move, #Haiti’s government has responded to public outcry and criticism by canceling the 2025 National #Carnival. The decision comes amidst increasing frustration over the government’s allocation of $2 million to the carnival celebration while the country grapples with escalating challenges, including gang violence, road blockages, and landslides. ⁠
⁠
This year, the theme “Haiti Debout! Ayiti Kanpe!” (Haiti Stands! Haiti Rises!) was chosen for the national carnival, which was set to take place in #FortLiberté for the first time. However, with the ongoing turmoil, this grand celebration will no longer proceed as planned. It is important to note that the decision does not affect #carnival activities in certain provincial towns, particularly in #Jacmel, where local celebrations may still occur. ⁠
⁠
While carnival is a deeply ingrained tradition in #Haitian culture, many have questioned the appropriateness of such a lavish expenditure in the face of the country’s ongoing crisis. As tensions rise across the nation, the government’s choice to divert resources from much-needed recovery efforts to fund a national celebration has sparked fierce debate. While some argue that the carnival is a key symbol of Haiti’s identity, others contend that prioritizing public safety and restoring basic services should be the government’s focus. ⁠
⁠
The public outcry and growing international pressure seem to have influenced the government’s decision. Though carnival celebrations have been canceled nationally, many wonder whether the decision will signal a more significant shift in how the government allocates resources.⁠

#TRIGGERWARNING : 🙏🏾🕊️🇭🇹 The #Hai

#TRIGGERWARNING : 🙏🏾🕊️🇭🇹 The #Haitian community is reeling in shock and grief after the senseless murder of 28-year-old Éliana Thélémaque and her infant in #Kenscoff. The young mother’s unimaginable trauma began on a fateful day when armed bandits ripped her baby from her arms and threw the child into a fire, leaving Éliana to witness the horrific scene.⁠
⁠
Éliana’s story is one of unbearable pain and loss. Originally from #Arcahaie, she had already been dealing with the devastating loss of her father, whose body remains in the morgue. To make matters worse, Éliana's sister, Miloura, said Éliana and her baby had been deported by the #Dominican authorities, leaving them vulnerable and without support.⁠
⁠
After witnessing the brutal murder of her child, Éliana was found wandering the streets of #Petionville on February 14. She was taken to the Petionville police station and received preliminary psychological care. However, the pain and grief were too much to bear. Just days later, Éliana succumbed to her trauma, leaving behind a community in mourning.⁠
⁠
The Minister for the Status of Women and Women’s Rights, Pédrica Jean, has strongly condemned the atrocious murder, calling for justice and accountability. The minister has reaffirmed her commitment to collaborating with the Ministry of Justice to track down and bring those responsible for this heinous crime to justice.⁠
⁠
As the global community comes together to mourn the loss of Éliana and her infant, we are reminded of the urgent need for action to address the rising gang violence in #Haiti. The silence from the government and authorities is deafening, and it’s time for them to take concrete steps to ensure the safety and security of their citizens.⁠
⁠
Éliana’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of violence and trauma. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and the entire Haitian community as they navigate this unimaginable grief. #lunionsuite
