Having been on four mission trips, my experience in Haiti stands out, albeit not for the best reasons. The trip was meant to be a meaningful mission, yet it felt like the least effective one. While there, I encountered the United Nations and was left with strong impressions about their presence. In Fond-Parisien, I was with fellow mission members gathering supplies for a construction project. Suddenly, a UN motorcade barreled down the street, accompanied by police and military escorts. The spectacle halted traffic, leaving locals puzzled about the urgency and destination of the convoy. The following day, we traveled by…

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has made some changes to the Biden administration’s app, aiming to make self-deportation a bit easier for migrants. This update aligns with President Trump’s executive order on border security, as mentioned on the agency’s website. The app now has a new feature called “Intent to Depart,” which gives those here unlawfully or whose parole has been revoked a clear path to let the U.S. Government know they plan to leave. This feature is seen as essential to adhere to the President’s Executive Order 14159, which focuses on protecting Americans from what some see as…

The closure of another refugee resettlement organization marks a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, following President Donald Trump’s decision to freeze the refugee resettlement program. This move has led to a substantial reduction in government funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) tasked with integrating refugees into American communities. Connecticut-based Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS) is among those affected, having lost $4 million in taxpayer funds and subsequently being forced to terminate staff and close offices. IRIS, which had been instrumental in assisting refugees in Connecticut, is now shutting down its New Haven location while planning to close its Hartford…

Among…

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) is urging Congress to defund the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) after a controversial Supreme Court ruling. The decision has been perceived by many as a blatant disregard for American taxpayers and constitutional principles. The Supreme Court recently ruled that the Trump administration must immediately release $1.9 billion in foreign aid payments—a move that has left many conservatives frustrated. This decision enforces a district court judge’s ruling, requiring the administration to uphold foreign aid agreements established before Trump’s presidency. The court’s ruling came with a narrow 5-4 vote, with the three liberal justices siding…
