Haitians in the United States under Temporary Protected Status — including 90,000 to 100,000 right here in South Florida, the largest population of Haitians in the country — got an 11th hour reprieve late Monday when a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from canceling their TPS with just over 24 hours to spare.

When the government kills with impunity, silence is complicity Seventeen days. Seventeen days after Minneapolis and the world watched U.S. citizen, poet and mother Renée Nicole Good be killed in cold blood by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, a second American, intensive care nurse and dog lover Alex Jeffrey Pretti, lay dead in […]
And Miami’s immigrant families are on the menu Leave it to Donald Trump to turn Thanksgiving — a holiday about gratitude, family and not strangling your tío during political discussions — into a xenophobic midnight rant attacking immigrants.

Dignity? In this bill? Don’t buy the branding Isn’t it a little adorable when members of Congress dress up immigration bills like they’re offering you a free spa day instead of a seven-year parole sentence with no chance of freedom? Actually, no. It’s sickening. Under fire for having absolutely no spine when it comes to […]

After weeks of soft punches and lackluster response, Miami-Dade Mayor Danielle Levine Cava has found her spine and is fighting back against the fascist forces that built and are operating a secret immigration jail in the middle of the Everglades — on an abandoned airstrip that […]
