Kristi Noem terminated TPS with an estimated more than 330,000 Haitian immigrants set to lose their status Feb. 3.
12,000 to 15,000 Haitians live in Springfield, Ohio, a community Trump and Vance targeted during the 2024 campaign, falsely accusing the community of eating cats and dogs
12,000 to 15,000 Haitians live in Springfield, Ohio, a community Trump and Vance targeted during the 2024 campaign, falsely accusing the community of eating cats and dogs
In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

A very critical discussion is needed across Africa and the diaspora, on what is our self motivated vision, in a time when the world order is being remade without our input or concern. While Lumumba's voice is key among many, we must not forget Andree Blouin's legacy in this discussion

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.
