Haitian-Americans in New York emphasize unity and resilience despite deportation fears

Haitians in New York remain defiant and say they are focusing on values that will unite all Americans amid continual disparagement and fears of mass deportation of Haitians and other immigrants by the administration of the incoming US President, Donald Trump.

New York City Council member Mercedes Narcisse says, as a proud Haitian-American and a firm believer in the power of democracy, he recognises that elections reflect the will of the people and that, in a democracy, there are unexpected outcomes.

The Haitian-born representative for the 46th Council District in Brooklyn told the Caribbean Media Corporation that he is disappointed in the rhetoric that has, at times, unfairly portrayed the Haitian-American community, including deeply hurtful and baseless accusations.
