  • Trump ends TPS for Haitians – The end of Temporary Protective Status on 500,000 Haitian immigrants -
  • UK and Israel – UK government criminalizes Palestine solidarity by proscribing organizations like Palestine Action -
Synopsis:

In this week’s segment we discuss how the UK government protects Israel through terrorism statute lawfare and media manipulation. But first, Donald Trump announced an early end to Temporary Protective Status for 500,000 Haitians in the U.S. They will soon lose their permission to work legally and will be forced to leave the U.S. because the Trump administration claims that Haiti is safe for them to return.

The Donald Trump administration recently announced the end of Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for 500,000 Haitians currently living in the United States. TPS was first granted in 2010 after the devastation caused by a massive earthquake in that country. The end of TPS would also end the ability to work legally in the US and if upheld will force thousands of people to return to a country which Trump says is safe, but which is in turmoil caused by violent paramilitary groups.  Our guest is Guerline Jozef, founder and Executive Director of Haitian Bridge Alliance, an organization that advocates for fair and humane immigration policies and connects migrants with humanitarian, legal, and social services. She joins us from San Diego, California to discuss the impact of this proposed change on the Haitian immigrant community and the legal efforts being waged to fight the end of TPS.

Roger McKenzie is the international editor of the UK-based Morning Star, the only English-language socialist daily newspaper in the world. He joins us from Oxford to discuss how the UK supports Israel by using a terrorism statute to proscribe organizations like Palestine Action and using the media to resurrect long debunked claims of sexual assaults on October 7, 2023.
