Dominican Deportation of Haitians Sparks American Outrage
About 200 activists marched through Washington, D.C. on Monday in protest of the Dominican Republic impending forced expulsion of thousands of Dominican-born Haitians.
The march, led by the Association of Haitian Professionals and attended by Maryland State Senator Victor R. Ramirez and IMG_6696Haitian presidential candidate Charles Henri Baker, began at Dupont Circle and ended in front of the Embassy of the Dominican Republic. For an hour on Monday evening, busy Massachusetts Avenue was filled with cries of “Human rights know no borders,” and “Misma isla, misma raza” – Spanish for “Same island, same race.”
The outcry comes as Dominican authorities appear ready to begin mass deportations of Haitians at virtually any moment. The dilemma facing Dominican Haitians today stems from a 2013 law making people born to undocumented foreigners after 1929 ineligible for Dominican nationality – effectively rendering the country’s more than 200,000 people of Haitian descent stateless.
In May 2014, the Dominican government sought to pave the way for Haitian descendants to reapply for Dominican nationality if they wished to legally remain in the country. The deadline for that application passed on June 17, with an overwhelming majority of the country’s stateless Haitians unable to sign up and now facing possible deportation.
The looming exodus has led immigration activists and international groups to accuse the Dominican government of human rights violations, and even racism. During today’s march, some demonstrators waved signs with messages including “Stop racist deportation,” and “Not 1 more racist deportation from DR,” and stood at the steps of the Dominican Republic’s embassy near Dupont Circle calling on Santo Domingo to reconsider its current policies.
Charles Baker, Haitian presidential candidate, said he believed the Dominican government’s stance towards Haitian immigration to be “illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional.” Maryland State Senator Victor Ramirez called for a tougher response against the Dominican government.
“I think it’s an atrocity, a disaster. I think the Dominican government needs to be held accountable,” Ramirez said, “I think we here in the United States need to bring some attention to what’s going on.”
To close, protest leaders asked those gathered to spread the word about human rights and governments which seek to violate them. After all, they said to much applause, “You don’t need visas or passports to be a human being.”

"A livable future is not a partisan issue," one activist said. He claims "corrupt politicians" and "fossil fuel billionaires" have managed to frame environmental causes as "extreme."
Prominent Swedish environmental student activist Greta Thunberg attended. She said she was "so incredibly grateful" for the large turnout and promoted another action on September 20th.

Pro-Guaidó activists held a press conference Wednesday afternoon to condemn Codepink and and ANSWER Coalition, accusing them of committing violence amidst the ongoing standoff at the Venezuelan Embassy.
The group demanded the arrest and prosecution of the "Embassy Protection Collective" inside and the removal of the groups' non-profit statuses.

4K VI
4k-video-roger-stone-sentenced-to-40
Longtime Trump ally Roger Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison Thursday afternoon.
News2Share was there and captured 4K video of him entering and exiting the courthouse, as well as his supporters and protesters.
Late last year, Stone was convicted of one count of obstructing a proceeding, five counts of making false statements to Congress and one count of witness tampering in the Mueller probe.
A few members of the right-wing group "The Proud Boys - of which Stone is an honorary member - showed up at court to support him.
“Nobody should do years in jail supposedly for lying to a body that’s whole job is to lie to the American people," said Proud Boys President Enrique Tarrio, referring to charges of making false statements to Congress.
He added that he wants Trump to pardon Stone today, as soon as Stone steps out of court.
Claude Taylor, a prominent anti-Trump activist, inflated a giant rat in front of the courthouse.
To him, Stone is "a rat who works for an even bigger rat," he told News2Share.
As press awaited the recently sentenced Stone to exit the courthouse, right-wing journalist Own Shroyer began yelling at journalists.
"This case should already have been thrown out with a mistrial" he told reporters. "This is politically motivated to get Trump."
Stone exited the courthouse and departed in a black SUV with a grin but without making any statement.
