Haitians

Disney+ abruptly canceled Marvel's Wonder Man season 2 shortly after its renewal, sparking outrage over the loss of rare, positive Haitian representation in the MCU. Miami-native and Haitian-American actor Bechir Slyvain spoke out about the cancellation's cultural impact amidst ongoing immigration upheaval.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced the work permit extension on Friday, the same day it was supposed to expire for 350,000 Haitian TPS holders nationwide, including more than nationwide was set to expire on Friday.

The Democratic congresswoman said the nation's 350,000 Haitian TPS holders, including 113,000 in Florida, contribute $2.6 billion to our economy and pay more than $300 billion in state and local taxes.

South Florida community leaders and Democratic congressional candidates are urging the U.S. Senate to approve an extension of deportation protections for Haitians that passed the House on a rare bipartisan vote in April.

Elected leaders and others who support TPS for Haitians expressed outrage over the high court judges' decision that also included the loss of TPS for Syrian migrants in the U.S.

After decades of rooting for Brazil, many Haitian fans now face mixed loyalties as Haiti’s national team heads to its first World Cup in 52 years — where they will face the soccer powerhouse. At a time of chaos, tragedy and unrest in the nation, appearing on the biggest international sporting stage is a chance to show off its competitive and cultural spirit.

Just days after the U.S. Supreme Court heard argument for restoring Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants, Democratic South Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Friday urged the nation's highest court to grant the extension of TPS.

When the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on the Trump administration's plans to stop shielding Haitians and Syrians from deportation, people from more than dozen other countries will pay close attention, perhaps none more than an estimated 200,000 from El Salvador.

The planned rally comes a little more than week after the House approved a bill to extend TPS for Haitians. Republican and Democratic lawmakers from South Florida — home to the largest Haitians in the U.S. — proved crucial in passing the bill 224-204.

The final vote was 224-204 for H.R. 1689, and included the support of U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar, U.S. Rep. Carlos Gimenez and U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart — all Republicans from Miami — along with South Florida Democrats, including U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson and U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, the only Haitian member of Congress.

Two South Florida Republican lawmakers joined with Democrats on Thursday to push forward a bill in the House that would reinstate Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for 350,000 Haitians in the United States.

A new documentary explores the 1915 U.S. occupation of Haiti, often described as a forgotten chapter of American and Haitian history.
