Fear and uncertainty are rising across South Flori

Fear and uncertainty are rising across South Florida as federal immigration raids and deportations intensify, leading to the arrest of several individuals from countries, including #Jamaica, #Nicaragua, and the #DominicanRepublic, under the latest enforcement measures. Families are on edge as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) expands operations, targeting undocumented individuals in workplaces, homes, and public spaces.⁠
⁠
Local advocacy groups report increased hotline calls from people seeking legal assistance and guidance on protecting themselves. Community leaders warn that the heightened enforcement is causing many to avoid routine activities such as attending school, going to work, or seeking medical care out of fear of being detained.⁠
⁠
#SouthFlorida, home to a large and diverse population, has historically been a focal point for immigration enforcement. Legal experts and rights organizations urge those at risk to stay informed, know their rights, and seek legal representation if needed. According to #DHS, nearly 1,000 people were arrested nationwide on Sunday. The department called many of them dangerous criminals.⁠

#BreakingNews - A federal judge on Tuesday tempora

#BreakingNews - A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily halted President #DonaldTrump’s attempt to freeze federal funding while his administration conducts an ideological review aimed at eliminating progressive programs. ⁠
⁠
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan came just minutes before the funding pause was set to take effect, offering temporary relief to states, local governments, and nonprofit organizations that rely on federal funds. The judge’s administrative stay, which lasts until Monday afternoon, applies only to existing programs. ⁠
⁠
The #Trump administration’s move had triggered widespread panic, with officials scrambling to understand which programs would be affected. A memo from the Office of Management and Budget provided little clarity, leaving lawmakers and public officials struggling to assess the potential impact. Even a short-term funding freeze could lead to layoffs and disruptions in public services. ⁠
⁠
The #WhiteHouse defended the pause, insisting it was necessary to ensure that federal spending aligns with Trump’s recent executive orders. His administration has prioritized increasing fossil fuel production, rolling back protections for transgender individuals, and dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Uncertainty persisted despite assurances that direct assistance programs such as #Medicare, #SocialSecurity, student loans, and food stamps would remain untouched. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt initially declined to confirm whether Medicaid was exempt, later clarifying that it would not be affected. ⁠
⁠
The uncertainty surrounding the freeze has already created ripple effects beyond Washington. Organizations like Meals on Wheels, which depends on federal funding to serve elderly Americans, fear potential disruptions. ⁠
⁠
The legal battle over Trump’s funding freeze sets the stage for a constitutional showdown over presidential authority and control of taxpayer dollars. With the judge’s ruling offering only a temporary reprieve, nonprofit groups and local governments remain on edge as they await further legal developments. ⁠

While in Paris, Mathurin’s Indiana Pacers team also participated in the NBA Paris Games 2025, where they faced off against the San Antonio Spurs in two regular-season matchups. Although the Spurs won the first game, @Bennedict and the Pacers bounced back in the second, securing an impressive 136-98 victory.⁠

#LetsTalkAboutIt 🇭🇹 ⁠
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) has carried out its first immigration raid in #PuertoRico under President #DonaldTrump’s administration. The operation occurred in Barrio Obrero, San Juan, a neighborhood known for its significant #Dominican community.⁠
⁠
ICE officials stated that the raid was conducted to enforce the Executive Order Protecting the American People from Invasion, which President Trump signed on January 20, 2025. The agency emphasized its mission to identify and detain individuals considered threats to national security, aligning with the administration’s immigration objectives.⁠
⁠
While #ICE has not disclosed the number of individuals detained in Puerto Rico, recent reports indicate that the agency has arrested 538 undocumented immigrants and deported hundreds in similar operations. President Trump has pledged to carry out the most extensive deportation campaign in U.S. history, with Puerto Rico playing a strategic role as an entry point for migrants arriving from the #DominicanRepublic and #Haiti via the Mona Passage.⁠

Colombia has reached an agreement with the United

Colombia has reached an agreement with the United States to resume accepting deported migrants on military flights, de-escalating a situation that threatened to spark a trade conflict. The resolution comes after the Colombian government initially blocked two U.S. military planes carrying deportees, prompting President Trump to threaten a series of tariffs.
In a televised statement Sunday evening, Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo confirmed that the country had agreed to "all of President Trump's terms," including the unrestricted acceptance of Colombian nationals deported from the U.S. Murillo emphasized that deportees would be treated with dignity upon their return. He announced that U.S. deportation flights had resumed. Colombia's presidential plane is also being prepared to assist in the repatriation process.
The White House responded by pausing its threat of steep tariffs but stated that other penalties, such as visa restrictions and customs inspections on Colombian travelers and cargo, would remain in effect until the first deportation flight successfully lands. "Today's events make clear to the world that America is respected again," the White House said in a statement, adding that Trump remains committed to enforcing U.S. immigration laws and ensuring other nations comply with repatriation efforts.
The situation with Colombia raises questions about how other nations, particularly #Haiti, will respond to U.S. deportation policies. Haiti's transitional presidential council president, #LeslieVoltaire, has warned that President #DonaldTrump's proposed policies on immigration and aid could have "catastrophic" consequences for Haiti. Voltaire made the remarks in an interview with @Apnews on Saturday following a meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
"I'm knocking on the doors of people who love Haiti. The pope loves Haiti, and he is eager to help," Voltaire said. Given the recent developments with Colombia, it remains to be seen how the #Haitian government will respond to potential U.S. pressure to accept deported migrants. The international community will closely monitor Haiti's next steps in this evolving situation. #lunionsuite

Efforts to end TPS are underway, but #Haitian comm

Efforts to end TPS are underway, but #Haitian community leaders argue its importance for immigrant communities. Ohio Attorney General #DaveYost has called on the federal government to reassess the countries designated for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). On Wednesday, Yost, alongside 17 other state attorneys general, sent a letter to #KristiNoem, the nominee for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, urging a review of the program.⁠
⁠
Yost expressed concern that #TPS has been applied too broadly, allowing noncitizens to stay in the U.S. indefinitely, even once conditions in their home countries improve. He emphasized that Congress intended the program to provide temporary relief, not long-term residency.⁠
⁠
Yola Lamarre, Director of Communications for the Haitian Community Network, pointed out that removing TPS for countries like #Haiti would significantly affect many individuals in central #Ohio. "There are many immigrants living in fear because they are not met with compassion and understanding," Lamarre said.⁠
⁠
As a #HaitianAmerican, @Iamyola.marj explained that the Haitian Community Network held a clinic to help immigrants navigate the TPS process. TPS is granted to individuals from countries facing ongoing conflict, natural disasters, or other crises, allowing them to remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation. The program also will enable beneficiaries to apply for work authorization.⁠
⁠
Lamarre highlighted that many individuals have lived in the U.S. under TPS for years, building their lives and contributing to the community. "They haven’t committed crimes and have become a part of the fabric of this country," she said.⁠
⁠
Currently, 17 countries are designated for TPS. Yost noted that the program was initially intended to last only six to 18 months, but some individuals have lived in the U.S. under TPS for over two decades. He argued that extending TPS for such long periods goes against its original purpose and increases pressure on state and federal resources.⁠

Haiti’s transitional presidential council presid

Haiti’s transitional presidential council president, #LeslieVoltaire, has warned that former U.S. President #DonaldTrump’s proposed policies on #immigration and aid could have “catastrophic” consequences for #Haiti. Voltaire made the remarks in an interview with @Apnews on Saturday following a meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican, where he sought humanitarian support for the nation.⁠
⁠
“I’m knocking on the doors of people who love Haiti. The pope loves Haiti, and he is eager to help,” Voltaire said. ⁠
⁠
The meeting centered on Haiti’s deepening humanitarian emergency, where rampant gang violence has displaced over a million people and left half of the country’s citizens facing hunger. Voltaire warned that Trump’s stance on deportations and refugee policies would further destabilize Haiti. ⁠
⁠
During his first administration, Trump made derogatory remarks about Haiti, calling it a “sh*thole country,” a statement widely condemned at the time. Voltaire pointed to that history in his concerns about Trump’s possible return to power. ⁠
⁠
“Trump said that Haiti is a ‘sh*thole,’ so I don’t think he will care about Haiti,” Voltaire stated. ⁠
⁠
According to the AP report, #Trump has vowed to deport undocumented immigrants, including the estimated 150,000 #Haitians in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Voltaire argued that Haiti cannot absorb such an influx, given that its government is already struggling to provide for those displaced by escalating gang violence. ⁠
⁠
The #DominicanRepublic has already deported around 200,000 Haitians over the past year, exacerbating the crisis. With 85% of #PortauPrince under gang control, many returning #migrants find themselves with nowhere to go. Despite these challenges, Voltaire remains committed to holding general elections by November.⁠
⁠
#Kenya is leading the international police deployment, with 600 officers on the ground far short of the 2,500 anticipated. #Guatemala and #ElSalvador have contributed personnel, while #Benin has pledged 2,000 soldiers to bolster efforts against gang rule. #lunionsuite #haitianamerican
