Labadee 2025 🇭🇹 ⁠ Did you know that #Labad

Labadee 2025 🇭🇹 ⁠
Did you know that #Labadee is one of Haiti’s best-known tourist destinations? It has operated as a private resort leased exclusively by Royal Caribbean International since 1986.
⁠
Located on the northern coast of Haiti, the area is completely fenced off from the rest of the country, with controlled access and tight security, ensuring that only cruise passengers, authorized staff, and select vendors can enter. This separation means that most #Haitians, including locals from nearby towns, cannot freely visit Labadee unless they are employed there or have special permission.⁠
⁠
Labadee is a significant stop for #RoyalCaribbean cruises, attracting thousands of visitors annually. While Labadee showcases Haiti’s natural beauty, it remains isolated from the rest of the country. Haitians from the surrounding areas cannot enter the resort unless they are staff or registered vendors, and even those with access face restrictions. The Haitian government does not manage or regulate Labadee, as Royal #Caribbean maintains complete operational control, including security and infrastructure.⁠
⁠
Labadee provides some economic benefits to Haiti, mainly through employment and vendor opportunities. Additionally, cruise passengers rarely venture beyond Labadee, limiting broader tourism revenue for #Haiti.⁠
⁠
Despite these concerns, Labadee remains a significant point of interest, serving as a heavily controlled yet picturesque representation of Haiti for international visitors.⁠

Escalating violence in #Haiti has crippled the hea

Escalating violence in #Haiti has crippled the healthcare system, prompting many #Haitian mothers to seek medical care across the border in the Dominican Republic despite the risk of deportation. As reported by VOA News, these women face a growing healthcare crisis worsened by tightening immigration policies as the Dominican Republic increases efforts to expel Haitian migrants.⁠
⁠
The two countries share the island of #Hispaniola, but are divided by a heavily guarded border, long-standing tensions, and significant economic gaps. Children born to Haitian parents in the #DominicanRepublic are not granted citizenship, further complicating their situation.⁠
⁠
“I had my child here,” said Cineas Lionne, speaking to VOA News from a hospital in Punta Cana. “I don’t think I would receive good care in Haiti because there is no government.”⁠
⁠
A United Nations assessment in October revealed that less than a quarter of hospitals in #PortauPrince are operational, with those outside the capital struggling to handle the influx of people fleeing gang violence. In late 2024, the situation worsened when armed groups attacked Haiti’s largest public hospital, killing journalists during a planned reopening.⁠
⁠
Since then, the capital’s airports and ports have been repeatedly shut down, leaving hospitals lacking crucial supplies like blood and oxygen. Doctors Without Borders suspended services last year due to security risks. Despite international calls to halt deportations, the Dominican Republic plans to expel up to 10,000 Haitians weekly, having deported over 200,000 in 2024 and nearly 15,000 in the first two weeks of 2025.⁠
⁠
Dominican officials argue that their infrastructure cannot accommodate such high numbers. “Our infrastructure cannot receive that number of people,” said Senator Daniel Rivera, former health minister, stressing that healthcare expansion for Dominicans remains the top priority.⁠
⁠
Despite these strict immigration policies, Dominican health authorities assert that hospitals remain neutral zones. “Our mission is to provide care,” said National Health Service Director Martin Ortiz. “The same care is given equally.” #lunionsuite

The More You Know!! 🇵🇷🇭🇹 ⁠ Haiti and

The More You Know!! 🇵🇷🇭🇹 ⁠
Haiti and Puerto Rico share deep historical ties shaped by colonial struggles, migration, and cultural exchange. During the Haitian Revolution which led to Haiti becoming the first independent Black republic, Puerto Rico remained under Spanish rule. #Haitian independence sent shockwaves across the #Caribbean, sparking concerns among colonial powers about potential uprisings among the oppressed. ⁠
⁠
In the 19th century, Haitian migrants, including those who had freed themselves from bondage, settled in #PuertoRico, contributing to its Afro-#Caribbean identity. Likewise, #PuertoRican revolutionaries, such as Ramón Emeterio Betances, sought Haiti’s support in their fight for independence from #Spain. Haiti also provided refuge for Puerto Rican and #Cuban exiles advocating for freedom. ⁠
⁠
Today, both nations share cultural influences in music, language, and traditions, reflecting their interconnected histories of resistance, resilience, and solidarity in the Caribbean. ⁠

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. ⁠

#LetsTalkAboutIt 🇭🇹 ⁠ U.S. Immigration and

#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
