Radio Haiti FM - Haitian Radio FM & AM Online + (Radio Android Application 🇭🇹📻)

 Sure, here's an article about radio stations in Haiti:

Radio is an important part of Haitian culture, providing news, entertainment, and music to listeners throughout the country. With dozens of radio stations broadcasting in Haiti, there's a wide variety of content available to suit every taste.

One of the most popular radio stations in Haiti is Radio Caraibes FM, which has been broadcasting since 1949. The station is known for its news coverage, with reporters providing up-to-date information on political events, sports, and cultural happenings. In addition to news, Radio Caraibes FM also broadcasts talk shows, interviews with celebrities and politicians, and music from Haitian artists.

Another popular station is Radio Vision 2000, which has been on the air since 1986. The station broadcasts a mix of news, sports, and music, with a focus on Christian content. Radio Vision 2000 also provides educational programming, with shows that cover topics such as health, finance, and personal development.

For those who prefer music, there are several radio stations in Haiti that specialize in playing music from various genres. Radio Tele Zenith FM, for example, broadcasts a mix of Haitian, Caribbean, and international music, with a focus on hip hop, R&B, and reggae. Other popular music stations include Radio Tele Planet FM, which plays a mix of Haitian and international hits, and Radio Ibo, which specializes in Haitian traditional music.

There are also several community-based radio stations in Haiti, which serve specific regions or ethnic groups. For example, Radio Lumiere is a Christian station that serves the Haitian diaspora, while Radio Kiskeya is a station that broadcasts in Creole and focuses on issues affecting the people of Port-au-Prince.

Despite the challenges faced by radio stations in Haiti, such as limited resources and political instability, these stations continue to provide valuable information and entertainment to their audiences. With a diverse range of content and programming, radio remains an important part of Haitian culture and society.

They came from Haiti, Venezuela and around the world, pulling small rolling suitcases crammed with clothing and stuffed animals to occupy their children. They clutched cellphones showing that after months of waiting they had appointments — finally — to legally enter the United States. Now outside a series of north Mexico border crossings where mazes of concrete barriers and thick fencing eventually spill into the United States, hope and excitement evaporated into despair and disbelief moments after President Donald Trump took office. U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Monday that the CBP One app that worked as recently as that morning would no longer be used to admit migrants after facilitating entry for nearly 1 million people since January 2023. Tens of thousands of appointments that were scheduled into February were canceled, applicants were told. That was it. There was no way to appeal, and no one to talk to.

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Camilo Montoya-Galvez at CBS News:

The Trump administration will be revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of Latin American and Haitian migrants welcomed into the U.S. under a Biden-era sponsorship process, urging them to self-deport or face arrest and removal by deportation agents. The termination of their work permits and deportation protections under an immigration authority known as parole will take effect in late April, 30 days after March 25, according to a notice posted by the federal government. The move will affect immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who flew to the U.S. under a Biden administration program, known as CHNV, that was designed to reduce illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border by giving would-be migrants legal migration avenues. A total of 532,000 migrants entered the U.S. under that policy, which was paused soon after President Trump took office, though it's unclear how many have been able to secure another status that will allow them to stay in the country legally. CBS News first reported in early February that the Trump administration was planning to revoke the legal status of individuals who entered the U.S. under the CHNV process. The Department of Homeland Security said it will seek the arrest and deportation of those subject to the policy change if they fail to depart the U.S. in the next 30 days. Officials are urging migrants to use the newly repurposed CBP Home smartphone app to register for self-deportation.

More anti-immigrant cruelty from the Trump Regime: The US under 47 will revoke the legal status of more than 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela that came into the USA as part of the CHNV program under his predecessor Joe Biden.

hello, my loves!

as i’m sure you all know, the elections just passed and needless to say, i’m honestly in a state of shock. some of you might not know this, but i actually am not american, but nonetheless donald trump winning is just horrid and plain disgusting. truly appalling for the state of the entire world.

not even as someone with a relatively large platform, but just as a black and queer woman, i’m so worried for the safety and livelihood of people like me— women, queer, and ethnic minorities. people who’s lives are in danger grossly.

in a time like this, where things like project 2025 are looming as well as multiple attacks on the rights of others, in both north america and places like sudan, congo, haiti, palestine, yemen, and more, i can only encourage you all to stay strong. to fight for each other. to engage in your communities in a time so perilous, as it’s needed now more than ever. volunteer locally, share mutual aid, mobilize, wear a mask (!!), protest, do all you can, because the next few years will be as hard as ever. increased surveillance, increased militia, and increased police presence— they’re doing it all.

my blog is first and foremost meant to be a safe space for all. i don’t tolerate bigots of any kind. homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, zionism, racism, all are hard drawn lines, and i beg of you now to unfollow me and quit engaging with my content otherwise.

below i’ve left some resources for anybody struggling in this moment mentally, and unsure what steps to take next. if any of you ever need to speak to someone, pr share mutual aid requests, please don’t hesitate to send me a private message or ask, i will happily answer you for anything.

as always, i love you all so dearly and deeply. stay strong. stay safe. stay brave.

News of the Day 3/28/25: Immigrants

The Trump administration repurposed the old CBP One app, which helped refugees start their asylum applications and schedule hearings under Biden, into exactly the opposite. They're urging immigrants to "self-deport" and use the app to prove they've actually left the country, so ICE doesn't have to for-realz-deport them.

Team Trump is also using it to location-track anyone using the app, including who applied under the old Biden program and then entered illegally rather than returning home (VIDEO).

Trump also cancelled the remaining Biden-era humanitarian parole (X) programs for refugees. Basically, it let people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venzuela live and work here legally for a few years without requiring a successful asylum claim. Trump's stopped new applications and is ending all active permits by the end of April. A separate program for Ukrainians was already ended separately.

So much for going after the worst of the worst violent criminals, I guess. More details on these and other deportation schemes under the cut.

A good overview: 4 Ways Trump Is Going After Legal Immigrants (X)

Trump deported hundreds of Venezuelans to an El Salvador mega-prison, without legal due process and possibly in violation of a judge’s order.

Judge: US treated Nazis better than Venezuelan migrants who were deported (X)

On the Alien Enemies Act: Under the Constitution, presidents can’t simply defy court orders they don’t like. (X)

Trump shipped them to El Salvador. Their families say their only crime was a tattoo. (X)

Did Donald Trump wilfully defy a court order? The administration’s rushed deportation of alleged gang members seems to have crossed a line. (X)

Noem threatens to send more immigrants to El Salvador prison. The migrants, accused of belonging to the Tren de Aragua gang, are being held at CECOT without access to either the Salvadoran or American justice systems. (X)

Trump called for the judge who ruled against him to be impeached. (X) No less than Chief SCOTUS Justice Roberts told him to lay it off. (X)

Trump Lobs Dodgy 'Conflict Of Interest' Accusation At Judge Who Tried To Halt Migrant Deportations. (X)

Detained Columbia activist Khalil’s wife slams claims he is Hamas supporter. (X)

Columbia University student says his detention is indicative of anti-Palestinian racism in US. 

I Am a Jewish Student at Columbia. Mahmoud Khalil Is One of the Most Upstanding People I Have Ever Met. (X)

Counterpoint: DOJ says Mahmoud Khalil didn’t disclose involvement in pro-Palestinian groups in green card application. (X) Trump's administration argued that Khalil's First Amendment claims are a "red herring " and that there's "an independent basis to justify removal sufficient to foreclose Khalil’s constitutional claim here."

PBS asks: What protections do green card holders and foreign students hold in the U.S.?

‘This shouldn’t happen in a democracy’: Trump tries to arrest academic suing administration over antisemitism executive order. (X)

Cornell student who challenged Trump EOs targeting pro-Palestinian protesters now faces deportation. (X)

Trump is seeking to deport another academic who is legally in the country, lawsuit says. Badar Khan Suri, a fellow at Georgetown, says he is being punished because of the suspected views of his wife, a U.S. citizen with Palestinian heritage. (X)

Despite the diversity of pro-Palestine demonstrators, officials go after people of color with visas and scholarships ‘to create a wedge in solidarity’

‘Chilling effect on free speech’: Trump wants green card applicants already legally in the US to hand over social media profiles (X). USCIS said the vetting of social media accounts is necessary for “the enhanced identity verification, vetting and national security screening.” Critics say it crushes free speech

Trump admin seeks more power to review immigrants’ social media accounts. (X) The administration wants more power to investigate the social media accounts of immigrants in the U.S. who are hoping to stay for an extended period.

Academic groups sue Trump administration for arresting students and faculty members linked to pro-Palestinian protests. (X) Trump's immigration policies "created a climate of repression and fear on university campuses" and are "silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors," the suit says.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US has revoked at least 300 foreign students' visas as part of President Donald Trump's effort to clamp down on pro-Palestinian protesters on university campuses.

while you were sleeping ...

The U.S. Army has told units to prepare for deployment at the U.S.-Mexico border in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Trump declared a 'state of emergency' at the border, despite the fact that we have a fully staffed border patrol and we are not in a wartime footing with Mexico.

National Science Foundation freezes grants in response to Trump executive orders

Native Americans concerned that they may be rounded up in mass deportation efforts due to racial profiling

Trump states that GAZA should be 'swept clean' and over one million refugees to be moved to Egypt and Jordan. (these countries have refused by the way)

Trump also mentions that Gaza has 'great beachfront property' and his son in law Jared Kushner, a friend of Netanyahu since childhood, has made the same statements that Gaza would be great place to build condos (and not for Palestinians)

Despite a 'cease fire' attacks have continued in Gaza, many by settler groups with police esorts, as soon as Trump lifted Biden era sanctions on settler incursions.

some USAID officials were put on leave for not abiding Trump's order to halt all international aid.

Trump has placed all Diversity and Inclusion federal employees across agencies on paid leave for 30 days until their positions are terminated.

The US Air Force took down a video for new recruits showcasing the Tuskegee Airmen, a famous all black fighting force from WW2, as well as the WAVES, women who joined the service during WW2.

The advisory office of DOGE now run solely by Elon Musk, a US government contractor puts him in nominal charge of government programs, a conflict of interest, however he has been booted from an office next to Trump in the White House to another building.

This Department of Government Efficiency now is taking over the US Digital Service in charge of all US gov websites, including the new IRS Free File (where you can do your taxes online for free, a holdover from the Biden Administration.)

Trump is paving the way for the Pentagon to remove transgender service members

The Quaker faith have taken the Trump administration to court over a new policy to enter churches and religious spaces in mass deportation efforts.

Trump puts hold on refugees - hundreds of thousands of people fleeing strife in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Haiti and Venezuela have been stopped from entering the US - the program was bipartisan and many have waited years in a legal process to enter.

Trump has revoked a Biden admin program that allowed 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans and nearly 1 million migrants allowed into the country through an app called CBP One, all of these individuals are now targeted for deportation.

Vice President Vance complained when U.S. Catholic bishops condemned ICE entering places of employment, churches and schools in mass deportation raids (lifting an Obama era restriction)

Vice President Vance states that Big Tech is too powerful in the US, at the same time Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg, along with other 'tech bros' were featured at Trump's inauguration, seated in front of his cabinet picks.

Trump fires DOJ employees who worked on Trump's prosecution for insurrection on Jan 6 as well as his stolen US government 'eyes only' documents. Republicans are investigating the bi-partisan Jan 6th investigations under the Biden administration.

Trump pardoned more than 1,500 individuals for their crimes during the Jan 6th insurrection, this has lead to backlash among a bi-partisan Congress as well as the public. One of the insurrectionists was killed by police at a conflict on his day of release, another was re-arrested for breaking his parole for previous convictions.

Stockholm in Oslo

au/short story from a series I have

tw: suggestive content, implied drugging

You keep running the numbers, re-tallying the sums, but all the signs point to the fact that somehow, you're barely scraping by. Well, more accurately, Kit is. Not you; you don't pay a dime to live here. In this tiny apartment at the heart of Oslo, your days begin atop crumpled sheet in your shared bedroom. The other side of the bed is always cold. The floors are cold on your bare feet, and the halls are arctic maws spitting you out into the kitchen, where an even colder breakfast awaits you in the fridge.

        Shoving articles aside, you find a plate balanced atop another. A sticky note attached to the top designates it as 4 AM's omurice. Kit finds cling wrap redundant, so instead of removing a filmy sheet, you set the other plate aside and dig into the meal, too tired to bother to heat it up. What have you done to be so exhausted? Yesterday, you'd completed your household chores early, so your day consisted of channel surfing and intermittent naps, snacking on prepared meals. Even if Kit insists you don't lift a finger, you're ashamed that you can't even bother to wash the dishes most days.

        As you sit and spoon cold leftovers into your mouth, your phones pings, alerting you to an email, from someone from another life. Kiko must be doing well these days. From the message's contents, you learn that he has a foundation now, offering aid to underprivileged minds in Haiti. He has contacts across the globe to make their dreams possible in the same way you almost let yours. If only you hadn't fled the States, then Spain...

        But it isn't too late for you; he dangles an opportunity like fertilizer, bonemeal to your mincemeat soul. One of his dream-making contacts wants your creative spirit to thaw on a residency where it all began. A summer-long retreat to the wilderness of New York, just you and a handful of peers, if you can still call them that. Maybe if you could, you would've jumped at the chance, but now, the prospect of leaving your new life and return to a fragmented version of the old is obscene.

        Can you leave for that long? Survive or thrive? Kit won't be there to make your breakfast. You'll dine on instant meals, peel the cellophane, then wrap leftovers in cling wrap. In your search for something beautiful to paint, you'll trail a bird to your demise.

        Your finger hovers over the reply button. Before you can even dream up a draft, your phone pings again, this time, with a message from Kit. He wants you to take inventory of the produce. He'll go shopping on his way back from the office today. Maybe you can ask to join him.

        Yawning, you close out of your email. Somewhere, in a corner of your mind, the concept of a draft lingers, waiting to be ensnared by cobwebs. Drawing up the notes app, you inspect the barren pantry and hastily type a list. Before you can permit your tiredness to make you forget, you promptly take a screenshot and send it to him. Bored again, you fish a feathered fan from a cupboard beneath the sink to do some dusting, but there isn't much surface area to clean. In the city center, everything is compact, apartments included. An Ikea bookshelf houses an array of trinkets that gather dust.

        Staring at those exotic destinations, you think about going outside, but the winter is far too cold. The room is cold, too. Shuffling to the thermostat, you crank up the heat. Feet padding across the frigid surface of the laminate floor, you venture to your shared bed to swipe the comforter. With it bunched into your arms, you plop onto the couch. When the day began, you'd thought about all the productive things you'd do, but even washing the plates leaves you feeling groggy.

        The remote has been consumed by the cushion. When you finally wrangle the device free from its plush depths, you mindlessly flick through channels, all spluttering in a language you haven't even began learning. Still, you see glimpses of the world you're hiding from. Some type of festival is going on downtown. Do you want to go? Before you can decide, you hear the lock turning, the jingling of keys. The door slides open and gently shuts. You hear the sound of shoes being toed off, then the impact as they hit the hardwood floor.

        His voice calls out to you, beckoning, "Love? Where are you?"

        Summoned from your linen doom, you arise as a gauzy-eyed phoenix. With the blanket draped over you like a shawl, you peel off the couch enough to turn and face Kit. Hefty bags dangle from his arms. Ignoring their weight, he approaches in three quick strides and snaps over at the waist to press a chaste kiss to your lips. Winter frost clings to him faintly, like a prostitute's perfume. With him leaning over the couch, you grip the canvas handle for purchase, fingers tracing each fiber.

        He only goes shopping on Fridays. Ever proud to advertise, he only uses bags with your designs. Imprinted with your most recent surrealist portrait of him, this one is fresh from the manufacturer, still stiff and fresh. Your usual vibrant colors are muted and monochromatic. You painted him blue, the same color as the walls and sky. In the city center, there is only sky and its reflection on the window.

        A waxy slip of paper juts out from one of the bags. Snatching it, your eyes widen as you scan the list. Only fresh produce and ingredients, your limited Norwegian tells you. Kit has made your household one of ingredients only. If you want a snack, you'll either have to muster the energy to make it from scratch or call upon him and squander his precious free time for your own selfish desires.

        "How much are you spending on groceries?"

        He quickly snatches the receipt back. "You don't need to worry about that," he pointedly says, crumpling the paper into a ball before tucking it into his pocket.

        "But I'm hardly contributing anything to help cover the costs," you lament. Flopping over, you crush your ribs against the couch's bony spine. "I only get a few commissions here and there. I'd make more with a part time job."

        You miss feeling like you were doing something with your life. Instead, you've become a glorified maid, and even then, Kit does all the shopping, deals with the paperwork, and prepares the meals most days. Your energy expenditure isn't enough to warrant lunch, so you've never touched the stove. The seasoning rack is coated in a layer of dust. Damned Kit, who has a palette becoming of someone from the British Isles. Your days are blander than his food. Your soul is empty. Simply existing is brutal and unfulfilling. Sure, you're able to pursue your hobbies. Yet while you were never a social butterfly, you sincerely miss interacting with others. You never thought you'd be one of those people, longing for those hazy college days, when you worked three jobs, only to have to take out another loan to pay your remaining fees. In a sick way, you wished you were still stuck juggling it all, barely managing to scrape by.

        Unable to find the pit from which these sentiments arose, you'd never tell Kit about these strange beliefs. He works too hard for you to be ungrateful. Instead, you'll pretend to enjoy your bleak days, how the world beyond the window is a perfect, unchanging snow globe. His steady hands will ensure your vision is never clouded. Here, you are safe and protected.

        From who? From what? You no longer remember. You resigned your fate and faith to him long ago.

        "When you add it all up, I'm sure it covers our groceries," Kit quickly dismisses. His voice tapers as he disappears into the kitchen. You hear rustling bags, then cupboards slamming as he crams the dry groceries into place. You don't like how he organizes the pantry. He stacks boxes as if he's trying to make paper skyscrapers.

        Briefly, you envision that drab outcrop as a gleaming skyline. Another diorama. Made from his toil, of course. If you can manage to sneak out of his grasp during the night, you'll reorganize the pantry, reaching your arms into that thin space, fingers brushing the edges, prying into the dark to dredge sense of the chaos.

        "Could," you correct as he shuffles into the living room. "You only let me pay if we go out together, and only if it's a place I want to go."

        "It's teatime," he says, setting a saucer down on the coffee table. His thigh rubs against yours as he settles onto the couch beside you. He tries to press the porcelain into your grasp, but your fingers skim the side. The heat seeps into your chilled fingers, restoring warmth.

        You wrinkle your nose. "Too hot."

        "Alright, but drink when it cools. You've been having trouble sleeping."

        Your several micro-naps and incessant exhaustion beg to differ, but you don't want to tell the breadwinner about your pitiful qualms. "And you have trouble letting me do things for myself."

        "Your money is yours. If you feel bad about it, then just get me flowers. Or keep painting for me. Paint me. You never used to do that."

        Who or what else could you paint when he is all you see? He has become the anchor to your ship, your sky and horizon, the bringer of dawn and daylight. You'd go mad without him. You're going mad at his side. He floods your head with sweet, gentle delusions.

        "But I want to be useful, too. I could... I could make and sell more art," you offer. Cold and unfeeling, you'll transform into an industrial machine. You need to be useful before you break and are discarded. "Or I'll apply for a residency program. Kiko sent me the information to one, and I'm sure I'll get it if I apply. In the meantime, I could get a part time job bagging at a supermarket or even cleaning—"

        "Y/n," Kit sharply says, bringing a hand to rest on your shoulder. His touch is gentle, almost a caress. He slides his hands down to cradle your elbows. In a single, swift motion, he draws you closer until your chest presses against his. You feel his heart beating in tandem with yours. "If this is something you want of your own volition, then by all means, pursue it. But if you're trying to find a reason to leave me, then I simply cannot allow it."

        Your voice sounds leagues, lifetimes away, like you're a ship rotting at the ocean floor.

        "It'd only be over summer," you say, shivering as his hands clamp over your thighs. "I'll come back to you."

        "You have to," he says. "I fought to have you at my side, so don't you know that I'll do anything to keep you here? If money's such a concern, then let's review our budget."

        "But..."

        What if you're just a burden? What if having you here is ruining his life? Keeping him from being successful? You couldn't even support yourself working two jobs back home. You crashed and burned, and in the fallout, paralyzed your taste for life. Kit is still young and lively. He should be out on a Friday night, not consoling his pathetic girlfriend because you can't cope with your own incompetence.

        Fortunately, you don't need to speak. He hears the implications in your implicit silence.

        "Y/N, I chose to make you my priority. If that means that I need to pass on things, then I don't care as long as you're taken care of. Missing a few meals here and there won't do any harm, but if I don't have you..." Drawing in a sharp breath, he pins a piercing gaze to you. "To me, that simply isn't an option. You came here, knowing I'd be taking care of you as long as you stayed."

        "But did you know I'd be such a mess?"

        "Yes. And I still accepted you because I want to love you. Now, you'll just have to keep your end of the deal and let me do just that."

        Tears sting the corners of your eyes. Kit has already done so much for you. Removing you from that wench's clutches, rescuing you, sweeping you off to a foreign land where the painful memories of what she did couldn't follow. He is permitting you to be free.

        "But..." Blubbering, you wipe at your face, unable to meet his gaze, "how could you still want me? I can't ever repay you for everything you've done for me. I'd still be in a terrible place if it weren't for you. I wouldn't be here without you. That's impossible to repay."

        Kit sighs, fingers ghosting across your cheeks to wipe away your tears. Once satisfied, they dance lower and lower, slipping down your sides, eventually intertwining with your frostbitten hands. His smile is innocent, but the thoughts it conjures should be enough to condemn you to hell. You feel an unwelcomed heat flood your face, a gentle lurch in your stomach when his head plops onto your shoulder, hair tickling as teeth rake across your neck. The low rumble of his sultry tone echoes against your collarbone, melodic with your heart as a metronome.

        "It isn't about transactions, but if it makes you feel better, I'd be more than glad to show you one way."

        His words rouse something fearsome in you, sending a chill down your spine. But you look up and accept that manic gaze, the pleading, linen-clad look. Your eyes are circled by rings of cotton as you caress his cheek.

        "I love you."

        Pleasantly surprised, Kit momentarily relents control as you kiss him, but not for long. Pressing you down into the cushions, he quickly regains it, looming over you. Your heart thumps furiously in your chest. His eyes bear into yours as his hand crawls beneath your shirt, up your torso.

        "Good. Wanna see how badly I need you?"

an: again, unfortunuately not cillian, but I'm a bit out of practice and needed to write something. and although i love writing him, cillian isn't the yan i'm most fond of, so i wrote about kit, a character from my other series. the lore is heavy with this one, so i won't explain it, but i hope that doesn't stop y'all from enjoying it.

I’ve realized I’ve neglected tumblr and have been utilizing other platforms to discuss and spread information on Palestine and how we can support them during an ACTIVE GENOCIDE that many are still refusing to acknowledge.

The BDS Movement has narrowed down organizations to boycott:

Download the app 5 calls and begin calling your local representatives calling for a Ceasefire Resolution. Call every Tuesday and Wednesday.

If you go to ceasefiretoday.com there you will be able to not only sign a petition, but have an email drafted already calling for a ceasefire! I highly recommend adding something to make it personal.

We have to keep talking about Palestine. We can’t stop. From the river to the sea! Palestine will be free!

And as we talk about Palestine, let’s not forget the Congo, Haiti, Tigray, and Sudan. Active genocides have been happening for years and it’s just now really surfacing the mainstream media. To the illegal occupations of Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Guam. We will see them all free.

Most of our country’s major media, politicians and government employees, as well as the owners and representatives of Big Business, are not only mute on the subject of America’s broken borders and the invasion of illegal aliens—including violent criminals—into America, but they are also capitalizing on this criminal activity.

My wife and I recently purchased a new refrigerator from Lowes, and it was delivered by two Venezuelans, neither of whom could speak a word of English. They then proceeded to take pictures of our house as they left. There could be no GOOD reason for doing that. Needless to say, that was the last appliance we will ever buy from that company. And this is in our little town in Northwest Montana.

The true nature of the increase in criminal activity (the very fact that illegals are here is illegal) associated with the invasion of illegals into America will be hidden by governments and newsmakers for as long as possible. In the meantime, the U.S. is becoming less and less safe—no matter where we live.

Of course, the jeopardous situation that we are forced to live in is the result of the Biden-Harris administration over the last four years that has—for its own political purposes—shown us Americans that they care absolutely NOTHING about our safety, peace and tranquility.

Just five months before Luis Miguel Calzadilla-Rojas — a Venezuelan migrant and alleged Tren de Aragua gangbanger — was arrested after a shooting outside a probation office in Aurora, Colorado, he was welcomed into the US — thanks to a controversial immigration program launched by the Biden-Harris administration.

Calzadilla-Rojas entered the country using CBP One — an app that is designed to allow asylum seekers a legal pathway to entry into America.

He’s just one of 1.3 million migrants who have come into the country through legal routes created by the Biden-Harris admin in less than two years. [Emphasis added]

The programs were created unilaterally, without Congressional approval or input.

Homeland Security sources tell The Post that there’s almost no vetting involved for most migrants, especially if their home countries — including Venezuela, Haiti and Cuba — refuse to cooperate with American law enforcement.
