Hundreds of thousands of migrants could now be eligible for one-year residence and work permits, following the approval of a decree by the Cabinet on Tuesday. The Ministry of Migration estimates that as many as 750,000 applications could be received by June 30, which will test the administration's capacity to process such a high caseload.

"This is a monumental victory in a long-fought battle to protect the safety, dignity, and humanity of our Haitian neighbors," Pressley said in a statement after the bill's passage.

Espina humorously admitted to oversleeping on a significant news day, stating, 'Breaking news, mi gente! I can't believe it.' His videos celebrated Maduro's fall but also expressed concern about the complexities of the situation.

In November 2024, during a period of escalating violence in the Haitian capital, gang members entered the compound where Gensley lived. They burned the radio station, my home and many other things in the area. They even killed his dog.

In my previous post, I discussed the psychological violence being imposed on the Latine immigrant community through the implementation of new and insidious immigration policies under the current administration. Since that publication, this violence has intensified in both scale and visibility. Across many regions of the United States, the public has witnessed large-scale ICE raids in neighborhoods, workplaces, hospitals, school events, and even outside immigration courts, where individuals and entire families are apprehended as they exit mandatory hearings.

Dulcie and her family, who live in the Twin Cities metro, are afraid every day when they leave for work and school. "All of my friends are staying at home. No one comes out. It gets to me," said Dulcie, who declined to use her last name because she fears retribution from federal agents, who have been detaining citizens and legal immigrants.
