South Florida leaders condemned a Trump administration travel ban affecting Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela. Miami-Dade Commissioner Marleine Bastien described the ban as a cruel measure harming families and communities, particularly targeting the Haitian-American population. She highlighted the contributions of Haitians to the region’s cultural and economic landscape. Local officials expressed concern about the potential chaos created by the ban, which would impact many with visas just as it was to take effect, underlining the significant presence and influence of the Haitian diaspora in South Florida.
This unjust policy will sow chaos in our communities, separating families and disrupting lives.
Targeting Haiti in this manner is not just only discriminatory, but a betrayal of the values America claims to uphold.
