"Florida Prepares for Handling Influx of Haitian Migrants Amid Unrest"

The Biden administration is considering using Guantanamo Bay to process Haitian migrants in the event of a mass exodus from Haiti due to worsening conditions, including gang violence and political instability. The US is monitoring the situation and potential migration routes, with discussions underway to expand capacity at Guantanamo Bay. The administration is also preparing for a potential influx of Haitian migrants by sea, as federal resources are already strained and key immigration agencies are low on funds. The situation in Haiti has prompted the deployment of a Marine Fleet-Anti-terrorism Security Team and the resignation of the embattled prime minister, while the US government continues to seek additional funding for border security.

UN calls for billions to prevent hunger and unrest.

The head of the UN World Food Program, David Beasley, warned that without billions of dollars more to feed millions of hungry people, the world will see mass migration, destabilized countries, and starving children and adults in the next 12 to 18 months. Beasley praised increased funding from the US and Germany last year, and urged China, Gulf nations, billionaires, and other countries to step up. He warned that the next 12 to 18 months are critical, and if funding is not increased, there will be mass migration, destabilized nations, and starvation among children and people around the world.
