    Sen. Edward J. Markey on Haitian TPS: Building a Coalition in the U.S. Senate

    In this exclusive Caribbean Television Network (CTN) interview, U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) sits down with CTN Founder and Senior Journalist Emmanuel Paul to discuss the future of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals in the United States. Senator Markey reveals that a coalition of immigration advocates, lawmakers, and community partners is actively working to identify Republican senators who may support the Haitian TPS petition as it moves to the upper chamber. He shares his perspective on the political path forward, the urgency of the moment, and what it will take to protect more than half a million Haitian TPS holders facing deportation. The conversation also covers Markey's deep ties to the Haitian community in Massachusetts, his trip to Haiti following Hurricane Matthew in 2016, the Supreme Court's pending decision on TPS terminations, and why this fight is personal for the senator from Malden. An exclusive conversation. A historic moment. The voice of the diaspora. 🎙️ CTN — One Voice for All of Us.

    Haiti on the Brink: A Former U.S. Ambassador Speaks Out

    In this exclusive and deeply revealing interview, former U.S. Ambassador to Haiti Luis Moreno sits down with Caribbean Television Network (CTN) to deliver an unfiltered account of the geopolitical, security, and humanitarian crises shaking Haiti today. Mercenaries & Missteps Ambassador Moreno confirms troubling reports that the Haitian transitional government is negotiating with American private military contractors, some linked to war crimes in Iraq, to combat gang violence. He warns: "They're looking to hire sketchy contractors... I think this is a serious mistake." Weaponizing Terrorism Labels? Moreno alleges that U.S. authorities are labeling Haitian gangs as terrorist organizations — not to support Haiti, but to justify deporting Haitian migrants under the radar. "How can we deport people to a country where planes can't even land?" Inside Aristide's Exit (2004) For the first time, Moreno recounts what really happened the night President Jean-Bertrand Aristide left Haiti. Was it resignation — or coercion? A Call for Real Solutions From failed military interventions to the dangers of privatized warfare, Moreno issues a sobering call for diplomatic, accountable leadership. Haiti's future, he argues, depends on it. Watch. Listen. Share widely. Haiti deserves more than silence. This is a must-hear conversation.
