Overview
- Trump shared the unedited surveillance clip on Truth Social Thursday night and used it to argue for ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians.
- Homeland Security released a blurred version of the footage earlier Thursday and said Rolbert Joachin entered the U.S. in August 2022, later received TPS that expired in 2024, and now has an ICE detainer.
- Joachin, 40, is charged with murder, criminal mischief, and property damage, is being held without bond, and is set for arraignment on May 4 after a detective testified he confessed.
- Local reports identify the victim as Nilufa Easmin, a gas station clerk and mother from Fort Myers’ Bangladeshi community, where a memorial and fundraising effort are underway.
- The post intensifies a broader fight over TPS for Haitians, which lower courts have stalled and which the Supreme Court is expected to review later this month, drawing sharply different coverage across partisan outlets.
