Trump's opposition of Temporary Protected Status worries local Haitians

Former President Donald Trump's stand to remove all Haitians on Temporary Protected Status draws opposition.

Yes, let's target Haitians in the US in order to do absolutely nothing for Palestinians in Gaza.

Looking forward to going home to Springfield for Christmas so I can listen to all my relatives with bullshit email jobs complain about Haitians and poor people ruining their lake experiences.

Republicans are so weird. First they’re all annoyed about childless cat ladies. Then they listen to the cat ladies who lie and say they think Haitians have kidnapped their cat. But if other cat ladies explain why they chose not to have kids it’s back to not listening. Cool. 😬

Honestly, if they aren’t going with the Haitians eating your cats thing, they got nothing else. We have a very heated congressional campaign here in the WA 3rd and MAGA candidate Joe Kent is running all the same trans fear and loathing ads against Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. So it isn’t just Trump.

The French revolution famously happened by voting for a less bad king. Much like how the Haitians voted for a less bad French colonizer, and the Russians voted for a less bad Tzar. You are the smartest liberal on the planet.

CBS News and the Washington Examiner reported preliminary Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data indicating that Border Patrol apprehended 53,881 migrants in September between U.S.-Mexico border ports of entry. That would be the smallest total of the Biden administration, down from 56,399 in July and 58,038 in August. Another 48,000 in September came to the ports of entry, most of them with CBP One appointments.

The Border Patrol figure would be the fewest since August 2020, when Donald Trump was president, and less than the monthly average for 2019.

Two girls from Egypt, aged 18 and 11, were among the 6 migrants killed on October 1 when Mexican soldiers fired on a pickup truck that was transporting them in the southern state of Chiapas. “Three of the dead were from Egypt, and one each from Peru and Honduras. The other has apparently not yet been identified,” the Associated Press reported. Milenio cited a victim from El Salvador, but not Honduras.

Mexico’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, said that Mexico’s Army (National Defense Secretariat or SEDENA) initiated the legal complaint against the two soldiers who allegedly fired on the migrants’ vehicle, and that the civilian Attorney General’s Office is investigating the incident.

President Sheinbaum has not yet named a successor to Francisco Garduño, the embattled head of its migration agency (National Migration Institute, INM), who faces criminal charges related to a March 2023 detention center fire that killed 40 migrants in Ciudad Juárez. Garduño, who has headed INM since 2019, remains at his post and has said he would be willing to stay on.

A U.S. federal government body that investigates inspectors-general submitted a report accusing Joseph Cuffari, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General, of “substantial misconduct,” including reprisals against whistleblowers and providing misleading information to Congress. Cuffari, a Trump appointee, has come under fire from non-governmental watchdogs, particularly the Project on Government Oversight, for weakening oversight of a department that includes most U.S. border law enforcement agencies.

Jonathan Blitzer, at the New Yorker, and Jamelle Bouie, at the New York Times, published critiques of the Trump-Vance campaign’s view that “mass deportation” could be a policy solution to address problems ranging from housing costs to crime. Blitzer raised concerns about deporting beneficiaries of documented statuses that depend on presidential approval, like humanitarian parole or Temporary Protected Status.

Tyche Hendricks of California Public Media interviewed Haitians who have settled in the San Diego area, who are “on edge” about losing Temporary Protected Status if Donald Trump is elected.

Mexicans, Muslims, Puerto Ricans, brown and black people, people from “shit hole countries”, Chinese, women, LGBTQ, Haitians, and democrats. Did I miss any other groups of people that donald trump hates?

ILschmiggs.bsky.socialOct 7, 2024 2:46am

They’re saying very loudly who the prime targets are like I’m not saying they won’t do shit to liberal white ladies eventually but like come the fuck on. They’ve been yelling about trans predators grooming kids and immigrants bringing drugs and Haitians eating pets for a while. It’s pretty obvious

It appears that Loomis has taken the quoted post as fact. Two posts at LGM premised on Biden ending protections for Haitians in the US. Christ, what an asshole.
