Haiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry has announced his resignation, passing the baton to a transitional council tasked with restoring order to the violence-plagued nation. In his resignation letter dated Wednesday, Henry cited the "current state of affairs" as the impetus for his decision to step down. He expressed gratitude to all who stood alongside him during challenging times, acknowledging the collective effort in serving the nation.

As Haiti's crisis worsens with PM Ariel Henry's resignation amid gang violence, the Biden administration weighs using Guantanamo Bay to process Haitian migrants in case of a mass exodus. Florida's Gov. DeSantis deploys law enforcement anticipating migrant influx. Gang attacks have paralyzed Haiti, displacing thousands, while 4 million face food insecurity. Another migrant influx seems imminent.

Crisis in Haiti , Could Drive Another Wave of , Illegal Immigration in the US.
'Newsweek' reports that the United States
could be facing another wave of illegal
immigration driven by refugees fleeing Haiti.
On March 11, President Ariel Henry said
he would resign amid widespread gang
violence and a breakdown of law and order.
An estimated 80% of Port-au-Prince,
the Haitian capital, are under
the control of armed gangs.
An estimated 80% of Port-au-Prince,

We are alert to that possibility.
The driving conditions in Haiti
could very well press
more people [to migrate], Rebecca Zimmerman, Department of Defense official,
via 'Newsweek'.
Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, warned that
a deepening immigration crisis would pose
a serious challenge for the Biden administration.
Fair or unfair, anything that
highlights the immigration
crisis is a net negative
for Biden at the moment, Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
To the extent that the tragedy
in Haiti puts a new refugee story
in the headlines, it will only make
the immigration issue more
salient for American voters. , Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
At the same time, Biden's
hands will no doubt be tied
by progressive groups who
will insist that the White House
not repatriate refugees back to
Haiti given the huge political
instability in the country, Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
According to a Monmouth University survey,
84% of voters in the U.S. consider illegal
immigration a "serious" or "very serious" issue.
In 2021, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared
a state of emergency after hundreds of
migrants from Haiti and Cuba arrived by boat.
An estimated 146,000 Haitian migrants
were encountered at the U.S. border
between October 2020 and May 2023

In a brazen display of aggression, gangs in Haiti initiated a significant offensive in the heart of Port-au-Prince, setting ablaze homes and engaging in fierce confrontations with law enforcement that lasted for hours. The harrowing scenes prompted hundreds of residents to flee the violence, marking one of the most severe outbreaks since the instalment of a new prime minister. These alarming attacks underscore the deep-rooted concerns surrounding the pervasive influence of gangs and cast doubt on the government's capacity to swiftly restore order and stability. The unsettling events have reignited fears and doubts regarding Haiti's ability to break free from the grip of violence and turmoil that has plagued the nation for years.
