Teamsters Local 804 Passes Resolution To Defend Haitian, Syrian Immigrants

August 1, 2026 Pola Posen, Left Voice. , , , , , ,
In June, the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration and Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) cancellation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). This ruling is only the most recent of the devastating attacks in the Trump offensive against immigrant workers and communities, and its impacts are already beginning to sow instability and insecurity in communities and workplaces across the United States. The labor movement has a key role to play in fighting back against this egregious attack, alongside every attack against our immigrant friends, neighbors and coworkers.

Disaster Capitalism In Haiti Gives A Glimpse Into Imperialist Shock Doctrine

July 6, 2026 Jacqueline Luqman, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
For decades, the U.S. has waged a carefully planned and unrelenting attack on Venezuela’s economy using unilateral coercive measures, commonly known as economic sanctions, to destabilize and destroy the country’s socialist Bolivarian government. Though the earthquakes that devastated the nation were not caused by the U.S., the destabilization of the Venezuelan government, economy, and infrastructure was. The damage from those sanctions was so pervasive that any natural disaster large enough would be catastrophic, leading to foreign aid being used not only to produce enormous capitalist profits for foreign interests but also to bring the country more firmly under U.S. control.

Born and raised in Haiti, Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot works in a California laboratory, researching Alzheimer’s disease. Miot has lived legally in the United States for 15 years. Laila Doe, a Syrian citizen, lives in Illinois, where she works as a behavioral technician for individuals with disabilities and cares for her elderly American-citizen mother and her teenage daughter. Doe has lived here legally for 13 years. Donald Trump wants to deport them—Miot to Haiti, Doe and her daughter to Syria. Miot has diabetes. Doe’s daughter knows little Arabic.

FIFA Reinforces ICE Repression While Targeting Iran, Haiti And Africa

June 17, 2026 Sara Flounders. Workers World. , , , , ,
The stated role of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), as the World Cup tournament organizer, is to ensure that football (soccer) is accessible to everyone and that global tournaments will be “safe, welcoming and inclusive.” That is not the reality of the 2026 World Cup. The anger at FIFA’s multimillionaire directors is wholly justified and righteous. The call to “Boycott FIFA” and a demand for accountability for abusive behavior need immediate support.  Every FIFA-sponsored game reinforces U.S. repression and racist exclusion. Resistance from below by those refusing to let the world’s most popular sport become a tool in the hands of those who wage war has — and will — take many forms, including protests, boycotts and collective actions. 

Haitians Demand New Government Amid Protest, Increasing Energy Costs

May 8, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Increasing protests in Haiti have laid bare the deep discontent of the population with the unelected government of Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, backed by the US regime. Demonstrations have intensified since May 1—International Workers’ Day—and have been marked by demands for an increase in salaries to cover the increasing costs of living, for maintenance of crumbling infrastructure, and for improvements in citizens’ quality of life, as well as calls for the de facto government’s resignation, among other grievances. Demonstrations were sparked by a drastic increase in oil prices announced by the unelected Haitian regime on April 2.

Haitians In The US Mobilize Against ICE And Deportation Threats

February 7, 2026 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
A federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 300,000 Haitian immigrants in the US, following intense pressure from over 300 labor unions, faith groups, and rights advocates. The victory however, has done nothing to quell the outrage at the government’s efforts to terminate the protections. Community groups say tens of thousands of Haitian immigrants are especially vulnerable as ICE forces are set to deploy to Haitian hubs in the state of Ohio, Springfield and Columbus, according to a leaked White House memo.

US Deploys Three Warships To Haiti

February 5, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , ,
The US Embassy in Haiti announced the arrival of three warships in the Caribbean country’s capital, Port-au-Prince. In a statement released on social media, the US diplomatic service said: “At the direction of the secretary of war, the USS Stockdale, USCGC Stone, and USCGC Diligence have arrived in the Bay of Port-au-Prince as part of Operation Southern Spear.” Operation Southern Spear was publicly announced by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in November 2025 and includes the deployment of military forces in Latin America to, according to the Pentagon, combat vessels used by drug traffickers and “narco-terrorist” cartels.

US Racist Immigration Policy Toward Haiti Reinforces Imperialism

December 17, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
On November 26th 2025, the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti using nearly identical language to the TPS cancellations earlier this year for displaced Venezuelans and affecting upward of 353,000 Haitian migrants. In both cases, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that continued protections were “not in the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States,” affirming U.S. policy abuses redefine their “interests” at a whim.  While the U.S. has long politicized displacement from leftist states like Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, casting migrants as evidence of socialism’s failure and selectively offering protections when it aligns with Washington’s broader regime-change goals, Haitian migration has been structurally and historically precarious.

‘Left’ Except For Haiti

October 9, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
At the recent United Nations General Assembly meeting, Gustavo Petro gave an impassioned speech on behalf of the Palestinian people. It was quite rightly held up as an example of leadership by a head of state, who spoke out forthrightly against a genocide and amplified calls for an international task force under a Uniting for Peace resolution which would prevent permanent Security Council members like the United States from using their status to veto any actions. Petro rose in international esteem after the Trump administration revoked his visa and when he returned to Colombia he expelled Israeli embassy staff after two Colombians were amongst those captured and detained on the Smud freedom flotilla to Gaza.

Trump And The UN’s New ‘Gang Suppression Force’ Will Invade An Already Occupied Haiti

October 4, 2025 Danny Shaw, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
On September 30th, the UN Security Council voted 12 in favour to none against, with 3 abstentions (China, Pakistan, Russian Federation), “to authorise Member States to transition the Multinational Security Support mission [in Haiti] to the Gang Suppression Force for an initial period of 12 months. Among other terms, the organ decided that the Force shall have an authorized personnel ceiling of 5,550, consisting of 5,500 uniformed personnel — comprised of both military and police — and 50 civilians.” The UN stated that the mission is scheduled to be for just one year, but all evidence points towards an extended occupation with the U.S. using The Global Fragility Act which Trump signed into law in 2020 to justify the action. 

‘We’re Very Concerned About What The US Is Doing Around Venezuela’

September 29, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , ,
Russia is deeply concerned about what the US is doing around Venezuelan waters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference on Saturday. “We are certainly very alarmed by what the US has organized now in what are currently international waters, but near Venezuelan territorial waters,” Lavrov said. The foreign minister specified that he spoke with his Venezuelan counterpart, Yván Gil, about the matter the previous day. “The situation is truly serious, because there are significant armed and naval forces there, including a nuclear submarine, and there are direct threats of military intervention to destroy ‘drug cartels’ and wage war on drug trafficking in general,” Lavrov said in reference to the new euphemisms used by the White House to legitimize a military action aiming at regime change in Venezuela.

‘Crime’, The Trojan Horse For Colonial Control

September 2, 2025 Erica Caines, Hood Communist. , , ,
The concept of “crime” is not a fixed, objective reality but a fluid and politically potent construct which has been meticulously weaponized to serve the interests of power. Crime is in fact a dialectical product of the very systems of domination it purportedly challenges. An elusive chameleon, the shifting definitions of crime justifies the expansion of state control, the suppression of dissent, and the advancement of imperial projects, both domestically and globally. Whether “high crime” or “low crime” , the rhetoric is rarely about public safety; rather, it is the primary language through which state agencies validate their own existence, and the imperialist state escalates its violence, masking the carceral and militaristic enforcement of social order to maintain hegemony under the guise of moral necessity.

Haiti: Business Oligarchy Takes Full Control Of De Facto Government

August 29, 2025 Telesur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
With Laurent Saint-Cyr’s recent inauguration as president of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) of Haiti, alongside Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, Haiti’s de facto government will be controlled by representatives of the economic oligarchies for six months. This situation is a cause of concern for the people and may have long-term consequences for the country. The CPT was formed in a context of political crisis in April 2024, following the forced resignation of then-Prime Minister Ariel Henry. Its announced objectives are to restore security and organize new elections before February 2026, while in reality, it was created to serve US imperialist interests in the country and to suppress any expression of popular rebellion.

Mercenary Boss Erik Prince’s Private Army Moves Into Haiti

August 17, 2025 Al Mayadeen, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
In the coming weeks, hundreds of militants from the US, Europe, and El Salvador are expected to be deployed to Haiti to allegedly confront the country’s gangs as part of a mission overseen by Erik Prince, the controversial founder of the mercenary organization Blackwater and a known supporter of US President Donald Trump. According to Reuters, Erik Prince’s new security firm, Vectus Global, which has been operating in Haiti since March amid escalating violence in the country, is gearing up to expand its operations in an alleged effort to assist local authorities in reclaiming critical roads and territories from heavily armed criminal groups that have long held control over them.

There Is No Revolution Without Revolutionary Consciousness

August 15, 2025 ELAPRE, Hood Communist. , , ,
A wind of despair blows relentlessly across the world. This wind of panic is the result of poverty and social inequalities. This has given rise to widespread wars that take various forms depending on the reality. Faced with the ravages of this phenomenon, Haiti is not spared (in fact, it is one of the biggest victims). Haiti is plunged into insecurity in all its forms: poverty, arms trafficking and trade, organ and drugs trafficking and a lack of transportation, all of which have plunged the country into total financial insecurity. For many, Haiti has never experienced such a chaotic situation in history. This critical situation is not without consequences for society. It forces the population to adopt a different understanding of life; many essential sectors in the society including the universities, the media, organizations and political parties, etc. have suffered an unprecedented state of discouragement.
