A message circulating on a Haitian WhatsApp group in Springfield, Ohio, lists the best destinations for those fleeing the town in the wake of Donald Trump’s election win. All of them are states run by Democrats who could provide sanctuary for Haitians worried about being deported following Mr Trump’s election victory: New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Vermont, Massachusetts and California. It is believed that thousands have left for those states in the weeks after polling day. More of Ohio’s sizeable Haitian population is preparing to follow.

As Alabama's leaders lament the ongoing influx of migrants entering the state, one organization that facilitates resettling refugees in Alabama claims to currently partner with the state legislature and has former House Speaker Mac McCutcheon, now the Madison County Commission chairman, and Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle on its board. Much has been made in recent months, both in Alabama and nationwide, of the proliferation of immigrants flooding into smaller towns and communities. After several reports of specifically Haitian migrants arriving in towns like Athens and Sylacauga, Gov. Kay Ivey and lawmakers began speaking out against the influx, blaming the Biden...

Is the migrant crisis plaguing the U.S. just the spontaneous movement of the globe's peoples to the U.S. ... or the work of an evil little banana-republic dictator plotting to take down the U.S.? Based on a new report from Agence France-Presse, which ran on the Voice of America's website, it actually looks like the latter: … analysts say that the government of Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega, a longtime nemesis of the United States, has deliberately made it easier for migrants to bypass the Darien by flying straight into his country and then heading north overland. Manuel Orozco, a migration...

NBC News anchor Lester Holt was quick to blame former President Donald Trump — along with his running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH) — for the heated campaign rhetoric that he ultimately linked to what appears to be a second assassination attempt on Trump’s life. Holt suggested — just hours after United States Secret Service agents stopped the second would-be Trump assassin in eight weeks — that comments from both Trump and Vance about the impact of a massive influx of Haitian migrants on a small Ohio town had led not only to that but to threats against hospitals and...

According to Panama Foreign Minister Erika Mouynes, recent rush of Haitian migrants is only the beginningNearly 30,000 Haitian migrants have already made their way over the U.S.-Mexico border in recent weeks, but Panama's foreign minister says far more are on their way – and she has been sounding the alarm for months.

The violence began after a Sunday afternoon protest at Henri Bourassa Park, the site of Saturday's police...

That's all the children, all under the age of 6, had to eat for the day. "Some days neighbors will cook and give us some food, as little as it is....
