Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47847, member: 636"] A Miami immigrant rights group slammed President Trump for cutting off protection for hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in America. The Family Action Network Movement called the decision cruel and dangerous for people who fled their troubled homeland. Trump plans to end the special status program on September 2nd next year. More than 500,000 Haitian families could face deportation back to their violence-torn country. Many of these people came to America after a massive earthquake destroyed Haiti back in 2010. Paul Christian Namphy from the organization said Haiti remains a nightmare for anyone trying to live there safely. Armed gangs have taken over most of the capital city and control the roads leading out. Millions of people cannot find enough food to eat each day. The government has completely fallen apart and basic services like hospitals and schools have shut down. Despite these horrible conditions, Trump officials claim Haiti has gotten better. Rachel Descollines from the same group accused the administration of targeting Black immigrants unfairly. She pointed out that the State Department still warns Americans not to travel to Haiti because of extreme crime. Kidnappings happen all the time and civil unrest continues across the island nation. The United Nations reports that nearly 6 million Haitians face severe hunger right away. Gang members block access to essential supplies and services throughout the country. The Florida-based organization wants Congress and the White House to stop the deportations immediately. They plan to fight the policy through peaceful protests and legal challenges. The group works to protect immigrants, women and other vulnerable communities from harmful government policies. [/QUOTE]
