A recent surge in deportations from the #Dominican

A recent surge in deportations from the #DominicanRepublic to #Haiti has raised concerns about human rights abuses, according to reports from the Associated Press. On a typical morning, hundreds of deportees, including families and unaccompanied minors, arrive at the #Haitian border city of #Belladère, seeking food, water, and medical care.
Migrants have recounted experiences of unauthorized home raids, racial profiling, and separation from their families. Odelyn St. Fleur, a Haitian migrant who had lived in the Dominican Republic for 20 years, shared his story of being awoken at 4 am by authorities who broke down his door.
The Dominican Republic's harsh new deportation policy, implemented in October, aims to deport at least 10,000 immigrants weekly. This policy has been widely criticized by civil organizations, with many arguing that it leads to human rights violations.
Data from @APNews shows that over 250,000 people were deported last year, with more than 31,200 deported in January alone. Activists like Roudy Joseph argue that the situation has reached a critical point, with children being left abandoned at schools due to the deportations.
Dominican officials, however, claim that Haitian immigrants have put a strain on the country's public services, citing the enrollment of over 80,000 new Haitian students in public schools in the past four years. Vice Admiral Luis Rafael Lee Ballester, #Dominican migration director, stated that the country is willing to provide support but emphasized the need for Haiti's leaders to address the situation in their country.
Despite denying abuse allegations, Ballester acknowledged that officials might enter homes during "hot pursuit" and announced plans to retrain personnel to respect human rights. However, reports of deportations of unaccompanied minors continue to emerge.
As the situation unfolds, President Abinader has warned of an "uncontrollable wave of migration" and called for increased support for a U.N.-backed mission in Haiti to combat gang violence. The Associated Press reports that the international community is being urged to take action to address the crisis in Haiti.

According to PBS, #Springfield, Ohio, has filed a

According to PBS, #Springfield, Ohio, has filed a lawsuit against the neo-Nazi group #BloodTribe, accusing them of inciting harassment, threats, and intimidation against those supporting the city’s growing #Haitian community. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Dayton by Mayor Rob Rue and other plaintiffs, names Blood Tribe leaders along with seven unidentified members. With legal assistance from the Anti-Defamation League, the city is seeking a jury trial to stop further threats and impose financial penalties.
Springfield, a city of about 60,000 located west of Columbus, has seen its Haitian population grow to 10,000 as immigrants seek stability and work. In July, Blood Tribe began framing the Haitian migration as an "invasion" threatening Springfield’s “good White residents," the lawsuit alleges.
According to the complaint, Blood Tribe members launched a months-long campaign of harassment, including bomb threats, death threats, and intimidation against residents who supported the Haitian community. The group escalated its activities in August by showing up at the city’s jazz and blues festival, displaying swastika flags, carrying weapons, and chanting Nazi slogans at City Hall after Berentz delivered a racist and antisemitic speech.
The lawsuit also details additional harassment tactics, such as sending threatening voicemails, publishing hateful social media posts, and even using dating apps to lure men to supporters' homes late at night. While the suit does not directly reference former President Donald Trump, it notes that Pohlhaus took credit for amplifying Trump’s false claims during a September debate that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were abducting and eating pets.
In response to the rising threats, the Haitian Bridge Alliance attempted to file criminal charges against Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, arguing their rhetoric fueled the chaos. However, a panel of local judges declined to issue arrest warrants and instead referred the matter to the county prosecutor. The alliance has since appealed the decision to the Ohio Supreme Court, arguing that the judges acted beyond their authority.

📚🇭🇹 A MUST READ - @Therichbenjamin is a Haitian cultural anthropologist and the author of Searching for Whitopia. His second book, TALK TO ME, is now on sale and recounts the coup that ended his grandfather’s presidency of #Haiti, the secrecy that shrouded that wound within his family, and his urgent efforts to know his mother despite the past.
⁠
It would take Rich years to piece together the turmoil that carried forward from his grandfather, to his mother, to him, and then to bring that story to light. In #TalkToMe, he doesn’t just paint the portrait of his family, but a bold, pugnacious portrait of America, of the human cost of the country’s hostilities abroad, the experience of migrants on these shores, and how the indelible ties of family endure through triumph and loss, from generation to generation.⁠

Philly showed up big for their team with the #Haitian spirit in the mix!!⁠ 🦅🇭🇹
#Philadelphia was electric last night as #Eagles fans flooded the streets to celebrate their team’s #SuperBowl victory. From Broad Street to City Hall, the city was alive with cheers, fireworks, and nonstop partying.⁠
⁠
And, of course, what’s a Philly celebration without the #Haitian community bringing the vibes? #Haitians on Cottman and Frankford proudly waved their flags in the crowd, and a Rara band took the energy to another level with infectious beats that had everyone dancing. The drums, horns, and chant parade blended seamlessly into the city’s celebration. Fly Eagles Fly!!

In a message and urgent appeal, Martine Moïse, th

In a message and urgent appeal, Martine Moïse, the widow of slain #Haitian President #JovenelMoïse, has reached out to President #DonaldTrump, requesting his assistance in uncovering the truth behind her husband's tragic assassination.⁠
⁠
Moïse drew parallels between her husband's experiences and Trump's own, highlighting the similar economic reforms they undertook, the character assassination campaigns they faced, and the physical assassination attempts they endured. However, Moïse emphasized the devastating difference: her husband's assassination attempts were successful, claiming his life on July 7, 2021.⁠
⁠
In her emotional plea, Moïse asked Trump to declassify all #FBI and State Department documents related to her husband's assassination, which she believes will bring justice, peace, and opportunity to the Haitian people. She also stressed the need for #Haiti to return to constitutional order, with a Prime Minister heading the Executive Branch, as mandated by the country's constitution.⁠

In a groundbreaking moment for #Haitian representation in #Hollywood, rising star Béchir Sylvain has joined the cast of Universal’s highly anticipated “Jurassic World: Rebirth.” ⁠
⁠
The Haitian-American actor will play Leclerc, a Haitian character and member of the mission’s team. This significant casting marks a major milestone for Sylvain, who has steadily built his career with standout performances in Starz’s BMF, Netflix’s Black Summer, and BET+’s Diarra From Detroit. His role in Jurassic World: Rebirth is a testament to his talent and dedication to his craft.⁠
⁠
Sylvain’s excitement about the project was evident on social media, where he posted “à Dieu soit la gloire” (Glory be to God) and confirmed that his character would be Haitian, proudly representing his heritage on the big screen. Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, Jurassic World: Rebirth boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including #ScarlettJohansson, #JonathanBailey, #MahershalaAli, and more.

In a commanding performance at Super Bowl LIX on F

In a commanding performance at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles overpowered the Kansas City Chiefs with a 40-22 victory at Caesars Superdome in #NewOrleans. This win secured the #Eagles’ second #SuperBowl title and thwarted the #Chiefs’ bid for an unprecedented third consecutive championship.
The Eagles dominated from the outset, amassing a 34-0 lead before the Chiefs managed to score.
Among the champions, a special congratulations goes to #LewisCine, the #Haitian-born safety who has battled through adversity to reach this historic moment. A first-round pick by the Minnesota #Vikings in the 2022 #NFL Draft, Cine made his name as a key member of Georgia’s national championship defense before facing a career-threatening injury early in his professional career. His resilience and determination led him to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he now celebrates his first Super Bowl victory. 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Congratulations Eagles Fans!! 🦅

#LunionSuiteExcellence 🇭🇹 ⁠
Lewis Cine, a #Haitian-born safety who rose to prominence as a key member of #Georgia’s national championship defense, has fought through adversity to reach the pinnacle of professional football. A first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2022 #NFL Draft, Cine’s journey has been defined by resilience as he battles back from a career-threatening injury to join the #PhiladelphiaEagles’ quest for #SuperBowl glory.⁠
⁠
Cine's journey to the NFL began in Haiti, where he was born, before moving to the United States at a young age. Immigrating from #Haiti to #Florida, then to Everett, Massachusetts, Cine’s remarkable rise in the football world was marked by his standout performances at the University of Georgia. Cine, a standout safety for the #Bulldogs, played a pivotal role in Georgia’s defense, one of the most dominant in college football during his tenure. His hard-hitting style and ability to read offenses made him a star.⁠
⁠
By the time he declared for the #NFLDraft, Cine had already earned recognition as one of the top defensive prospects in the country. His performance during Georgia's 2021 national championship cemented his reputation as one of college football's top safeties.⁠
⁠
Unfortunately, Cine’s rookie season was derailed by a severe knee injury that threatened to halt his NFL career. Early in his rookie year with the Vikings, Cine suffered a knee injury that required surgery and a lengthy recovery process. After spending the 2022 season on injured reserve with the #MinnesotaVikings, Cine was waived by the Vikings on August 27, 2024. He signed with the #BuffaloBills' practice squad on August 29, 2024. On January 8, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles signed him off the Bills' practice squad to their active roster. At just 25 years old, Cine found a fresh start with the Eagles, joining one of the league's most talented and well-coached teams.⁠
⁠
As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face the #KansasCityChiefs in #SuperBowlLIX, Cine’s journey is a powerful reminder of the strength it takes to overcome challenges and rise above them. ⁠
