President #Trump has made a bold promise to deport

President #Trump has made a bold promise to deport millions of individuals living in the #UnitedStates without permission. Recent estimates suggest that nearly 14 million people in the U.S. either lack legal status or have temporary protection from #deportation. This group is commonly referred to as "undocumented," "unauthorized," or "illegal," but these terms are not entirely accurate. ⁠
⁠
While the terms "undocumented" and "illegal" are widely used, a significant portion of this population is actually in the U.S. with temporary permissions permissions that, unfortunately, are set to expire during Trump’s term in office. ⁠
⁠
To better understand this issue, the @NYTimes compared estimates from various research organizations and federal agencies with recent administrative data. Their investigation sheds light on who these immigrants are, how they arrived in the U.S., and which groups may be most vulnerable to deportation under President Trump’s #immigration policies. #lunionsuite #haitianamerican #haitian #caribbean

#Haitian DJ and producer #MichaelBrun and dancehal

#Haitian DJ and producer #MichaelBrun and dancehall legend #BeenieMan were spotted filming the music video for their highly anticipated track "Touchdown." The upcoming song featuring #JBalvin, #BountyKiller, and #Tasan has generated buzz since Brun teased the project on social media. 🇭🇹🇨🇴🇯🇲🇬🇾⁠
⁠
A few days ago, Brun announced the track on Instagram and Facebook, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of the creative journey. He revealed that “Touchdown” took years to create and required multiple trips around the world to collaborate with the artists involved. His post expressed gratitude for everyone who contributed to the project and excitement that it’s finally ready to be shared with fans. ⁠
⁠
Adding to the excitement, Brun also gave a shoutout to the NFL and ESPN, as the track has already been featured in the network's Divisionals campaign. This significant placement signals that "Touchdown" is set to make waves not just in the #Caribbean and #Latin music scenes but also in the world of sports and entertainment. ⁠
⁠
Now, with footage emerging of @michaelbrun and @KingBeenieMan Man filming the video, anticipation is at an all-time high. Fans are eager to see how the visuals will match the track's energy, which brings together some of the biggest names in #reggae, #dancehall, and Latin music.⁠

#BREAKING—Attorneys general from 18 states, alon

#BREAKING—Attorneys general from 18 states, along with advocacy groups, have filed lawsuits to block President #DonaldTrump’s recent executive order ending #birthrightcitizenship in the U.S. The move, announced late Monday, challenges a decades-old immigration policy that grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status.⁠
⁠
Trump’s executive order, roughly 700 words long, fulfills his long-standing campaign promise to curb immigration. However, its future remains uncertain as it faces what is expected to be a protracted legal battle. The executive order seeks to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents were unlawfully present in the country or if one parent was not a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.⁠
⁠
Birthright citizenship has been firmly enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution for decades. This provision guarantees that anyone born in the U.S. is a #citizen, regardless of their parent's #immigration status. Supporters of this policy argue that it ensures basic human rights, while #Trump and his allies contend that the 14th Amendment’s original intent is being misinterpreted. They advocate for more stringent standards on who should be eligible for citizenship.⁠
⁠
In response to the executive order, 18 states, the District of Columbia and #SanFrancisco, have filed lawsuits in federal court. The legal challenge is spearheaded by a coalition of state attorneys general and several immigration advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).⁠
⁠
#California, #Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, #Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, #Nevada, #NewJersey, New Mexico, #NewYork, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin are the states involved in the lawsuit.⁠

Former Haitian-American #NFL player #JohnathanCypr

Former Haitian-American #NFL player #JohnathanCyprien has officially become a citizen of #Ghana, joining a growing number of African diaspora members and reconnecting with their ancestral homeland. Cyprien, known for his time as a safety with teams like the #Jacksonville #Jaguars, Tennessee #Titans, and #AtlantaFalcons, received #Ghanaian citizenship as part of the country’s ongoing initiative to welcome people of African descent. ⁠
Ghana’s decision to grant citizenship to @Cyp and others stems from its “Year of Return” and “Beyond the Return” initiatives, launched to mark 400 years since the first enslaved Africans were taken to the Americas. These programs encourage descendants of the transatlantic slave trade to reconnect with their African roots and contribute to Ghana’s cultural and economic development. In November 2024, Ghana naturalized 524 individuals, primarily Black Americans, in a historic citizenship ceremony. ⁠
Also spotted receiving their citizenship were marketing executive Bozoma Saint John, activist Dr. Umar Ifatunde, and reality TV personalities and entrepreneurs #Mendeecees Harris and #YandySmith.
Through the Right of Abode policy, Ghana allows people of African descent to live and work indefinitely. Cyprien’s decision to embrace Ghanaian citizenship reflects a broader movement among prominent figures in the African diaspora seeking to strengthen their ties to the continent.

😐 According to this video posted by #Kenyan Pre

😐 According to this video posted by #Kenyan President #WilliamRuto, he stated that national police officers under the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission in #Haiti have intensified patrols in major cities of the gang-troubled nation. He further mentioned that order has been restored in several towns, and residents are grateful for the police intervention.
In recent months, Kenya has significantly increased its involvement in the MSS mission to combat gang violence in Haiti. On January 18, 2025, Kenya deployed an additional 217 police officers, bringing the number of Kenyan officers in #Haiti to over 600 since June 2024. Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen highlighted the mission's progress, noting that it has made "tremendous progress in reducing gang violence, earning praise across the globe." ⁠
⁠
President Ruto has been actively engaged in supporting the MSS mission. In October 2024, he called on the international community to honor their commitments to support the mission, emphasizing the urgent need for personnel, logistics, and financial resources to sustain and expand security efforts.
The MSS mission, authorized by the United Nations Security Council, aims to stabilize Haiti by providing security assistance to the Haitian National Police. Despite these efforts, challenges remain. The mission has faced issues such as understaffing and logistical constraints, which have impacted its effectiveness. Additionally, there have been concerns about the mission's operational framework and rules of engagement. ⁠
⁠
While the MSS mission has claimed to have made notable strides in enhancing security and restoring order in several Haitian towns, ongoing support and resources are essential to address the remaining challenges and ensure the mission's success. We are waiting for more details to confirm these claims. #lunionsuite #haitianamerican

During President #DonaldTrump's inauguration on Ja

During President #DonaldTrump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, Tesla CEO #ElonMusk delivered a speech at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., celebrating Trump's return to office. During his address, Musk made a gesture that drew immediate attention online. He placed his right hand on his chest and extended it outward with the palm facing downward, a movement that some observers interpreted as a fascist salute. ⁠
⁠
The gesture sparked discussions on social media platforms, with some users expressing concern over its resemblance to historical fascist symbols. However, others defended #Musk, suggesting that the movement was intended as a heartfelt expression of gratitude toward the audience. ⁠
⁠
Musk has not publicly commented on the incident, leaving the interpretation of his gesture open to speculation.⁠

Kidnapping Inc. is a highly anticipated Haitian fi

Kidnapping Inc. is a highly anticipated Haitian film shot in #Haiti, featuring an all-Haitian cast of talented actors.
Scheduled for release on February 7, 2025, the film will be available in select theaters across the United States and Canada, with online streaming also available in the U.S.⁠ 🎞️🇭🇹
Directed by #BrunoMourral, Kidnapping Inc. marks Mourral's first feature film. The movie blends dark comedy and political thriller inspired by the growing kidnapping crisis in #Haiti. It follows two bumbling kidnappers who, through their incompetence, become entangled in a complex political conspiracy.⁠
The film highlights a standout #Haitian cast, including the revelatory Gessica Généus (known for Freda), the charismatic Jasmuel Andri, and Rolaphton Mercure. Their performances bring depth to this poignant "road movie" that balances gritty realism with dark humor, set against Haiti's chaotic landscape.
A fresh take on the crime genre, Kidnapping Inc. resonates deeply with Haitian culture, drawing praise for its kinetic storytelling. Vladan Petkovic of Cineuropa describes it as “a succession of ultra-kinetic set pieces, alternating with rapid dialogue segments that are often almost as entertaining.”
Also featuring legendary Haitian actors like Manfred Marcelin and Ashley Laraque, the film pays tribute to the older generation, bringing a wealth of experience to the screen alongside the new wave of talent.
Already making waves on the festival circuit, Kidnapping Inc. has won the audience gold medal for Best Quebec Film at the Fantasia International Film Festival and has been selected for Sundance, the Brussels Film Festival, and the prestigious FESPACO (often referred to as the "Cannes of Africa").⁠

Migrants waiting in #Mexico for entry into the #Un

Migrants waiting in #Mexico for entry into the #UnitedStates through the Biden administration’s #CBPOne app, including thousands of #Haitians, were left devastated Monday as their scheduled appointments were abruptly canceled upon President Trump’s return to office.
At precisely noon, coinciding with Trump’s swearing in CBP One went offline, according to an announcement from Customs and Border Protection. The shutdown marks one of Trump’s first actions in his aggressive immigration overhaul. Since its launch in January 2023, CBP One has facilitated the legal entry of over 900,000 migrants, with at least 43,000 crossing into the U.S. each month under the Biden administration.
Many Haitians fleeing economic turmoil, gang violence, and political instability had relied on the app as a safe and legal pathway into the U.S. Footage from a #WashingtonPost reporter in Juarez, Mexico, captured heartbreaking scenes of migrants in tears at the U.S. border gates after learning their appointments had been canceled.
Many had waited months for the opportunity to enter legally. Among them are thousands of Haitian families who have been stranded in Mexico, facing discrimination, unsafe conditions, and a lack of resources while seeking asylum. According to CBS News, an estimated 270,000 migrants had been waiting at the Mexican border, hoping to secure entry before Trump’s inauguration.
Trump’s immediate termination of CBP One is expected to face legal challenges. U.S. asylum laws still require migrants to be processed at official ports of entry, a function the app previously streamlined. During his inaugural address, #Trump declared the border crisis a “national emergency” and announced plans to deploy U.S. troops to the region to restore order. He also labeled the migrant gangs Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as terrorist organizations, reinforcing his administration’s hardline stance on immigration. With CBP One now defunct, thousands of Haitian and other asylum seekers are left stranded, their future in jeopardy.

On January 20, 2025, #DonaldTrump was inaugurated $On January 20, 2025, #DonaldTrump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking his return to the White House for a second, non-consecutive term. Due to inclement weather, the ceremony was held indoors at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, making it a memorable occasion. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the presidential oath to Donald Trump. At the same time, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh swore in Vice President-elect JD Vance, officially ushering in the new administration. In his inaugural address, President Trump delivered the longest speech in modern history, laying out his administration’s priorities. He emphasized plans to combat illegal immigration, boost energy production, and revitalize American manufacturing. As the Trumps took office, former President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden left Washington, D.C., marking the end of their term. The inauguration also saw the attendance of former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, alongside their spouses. The ceremony included musical performances by Carrie Underwood and Lee Greenwood. The presence of several billionaire tech industry giants included Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX; Jeff Bezos, founder and executive chairman of Amazon; Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta; Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google; Tim Cook, CEO of Apple; and Shou Zi Chew, CEO of TikTok. President Trump outlined a series of ambitious policy directions for his second term in his inaugural address. Among them were plans to initiate mass deportations and repeal birthright citizenship, signaling a firm stance on immigration. Additionally, Trump declared a national energy emergency, which would increase fracking and oil drilling. He also revealed plans to create a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk. The department will focus on modernizing government operations. The administration intends to cut funding for schools that teach critical race theory or enforce vaccine mandates in education. On the foreign policy front, Trump announced a withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and terminated the CBP One border app. Source: @CBSNews #lunionsuite$
