Haitian-American legislators in Brooklyn dismissed a widely circulated video as 'fake news' while expressing serious concerns over ICE's deportation policies. President Trump’s administration has made such deportations a focal point. Some legislators noted they could not verify the video's authenticity but highlighted the ongoing emotional strain these policies impose on the Haitian-American community. They emphasized the importance of advocating for respect, dignity, and fair treatment for immigrant families, acknowledging the negative impact of such policies on community well-being and American values.
While we are still verifying the details surrounding the video circulating, one thing is clear: the Haitian-American community is deeply concerned and frustrated by the harmful and unjust policies of ICE under the Trump administration.
The fear and anxiety that these policies have created are very real, and it is crucial that we acknowledge the emotional and psychological toll they are having on our families.
These policies not only threaten the well-being of our people but also undermine the values that this nation was built on, equality and justice.
We will continue to advocate for policies that protect immigrant communities, ensure fair treatment, and uphold human rights.
I encourage all to channel their frustration into productive action, whether through peaceful protest or engaging with elected officials who are committed to making real change.
