January
In \u201cfighting for your family,\u201d Gov. Kathy Hochul delivered her 2025 State of the State address, including more than 200 initiatives that she says will put money back in people\u2019s pockets, keep New Yorkers safe and ensure the future of New York is a place where all families can thrive. \u201cYour family is my fight \u2014 and I will never stop fighting for the people of New York,\u201d Hochul said. \u201cNew Yorkers expect results and that\u2019s why I fight day in and day out to make New York safer, healthier, cleaner, more affordable for you and your family \u2014 and that is what we\u2019re doing with the initiatives announced as part of my 2025 State of the State.\u201d To help more families get ahead and make life in New York more affordable, the governor said she is committed to driving down costs and putting money directly back into people\u2019s pockets. To do that, Hochul proposes: Cutting middle class taxes for more than 8.3 million New York taxpayers \u2013 lowest level in nearly 70 years; sending inflation refund checks of up to $500 to over 8.6 million New York households; expanding New York\u2019s child tax credit to provide up to $1,000 per child to 1.6 million families; and fighting for the full restoration of the SALT deduction to provide much needed relief for New Yorkers; and supporting the youngest New Yorkers and their families.
The Brooklyn community on Saturday, Jan. 18, paid its last respects to \u201cHonorary Guyanese\u201d Dr. Marguerite Thompson, a prominent African-American early childhood educator, community leader, and artist, whose late husband, Dr. Thomas Thompson, was a Guyanese native. During her lifetime, Dr. Marguerite Thompson dedicated herself to helping and learning more about Guyana. She died on Dec. 20, 2024, at the age of 94. Caribbean-American U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke was among many who paid tribute to Dr. Thompson during an Official Memorial Service on Jan. 18 at Fenimore Street United Methodist Church (FUMC) in Brooklyn, Dr. Thompson\u2019s home church. A Memorial Service was also held the day before at the Weeksville Center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. \u201cI think of the work she did in the community,\u201d said Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, who represents the 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn. \u201cShe was a stalwart in the community. \u201cThe legacy she\u2019s left is a bar that has been set,\u201d added the U.S. Rep. before presenting a Congressional Citation to Dr. Thompson\u2019s grandchildren.<\/p>\n

February
New York Attorney General Letitia James and a coalition of 22 attorneys general celebrated the court\u2019s decision to temporarily block President Trump from withholding trillions of dollars in funding that every state in the country relies on to provide essential services to millions of Americans, including Caribbean immigrants. Judge John J. McConnell of the US District Court for the District of Rhode Island granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking Trump\u2019s \u201cillegal funding freeze\u201d of many federal agency grants, loans, and other financial assistance programs. Attorney General James and the coalition had filed a lawsuit to stop the policy. \u201cThe power of the purse belongs to Congress \u2013 not the President of the United States,\u201d said Attorney General James.
The New York State Senate passed legislation sponsored by Sen. Zellnor Myrie (D-Central Brooklyn) that would add transparency to pharmacy services administrative organizations, switch companies, and rebate aggregators \u2014 intermediaries who drive up consumer costs in the prescription drug supply chain. Myrie, who represents the 20th Senate District in Brooklyn, introduced the Prescription Drug Supply Chain Transparency Act in response to the high cost of prescription drugs facing New Yorkers. \u201cToo many New Yorkers are forced to choose between lifesaving medications and paying for food and rent,\u201d said Sen. Myrie. \u201cThis bill would require annual disclosures from middlemen that drive up costs for consumers and full transparency about their ownership and potential conflicts of interest that unfairly increase prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

March
Trump\u2019s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revoked the humanitarian parole programs for individuals from Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, known as the CHNV program. \u201cThis decision will categorically end the protection and legal status of 530,000 people who arrived in the United States under parole status,\u201d Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), an umbrella policy and advocacy organization that represents over 200 immigrant and refugee rights groups throughout New York, told Caribbean Life. He said the CHNV program allows qualified nationals from these countries to live and work in the US through sponsorship by a US citizen or permanent resident for a period of two years. Awawdeh said the program will end on April 24, 2025, at which point participants will lose their status and work authorization.
Immigration advocates in New York have condemned a Trump administration memo calling for sanctions, reviews, and stricter oversight of attorneys representing Caribbean and other immigrants in both immigration and federal courts.
If implemented, immigration advocates say the directive would create another barrier for Caribbean and other immigrants seeking legal representation. \u201cThe Trump administration\u2019s latest memo is a direct attack on due process and access to justice,\u201d said Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), an umbrella policy and advocacy organization representing over 200 immigrant and refugee rights groups throughout New York, told Caribbean Life. \u201cBy imposing unnecessary sanctions and oversight, this directive seeks to intimidate attorneys from representing immigrants, making it even easier for the government to fast-track deportations without fair hearings,\u201d he added. \u201cThis is an assault on our constitutional right to a fair day in court.\u201d<\/p>\n

April
Gov. Kathy Hochul shared a breakdown of how the Trump administration\u2019s cuts to the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program will impact critical infrastructure and community resilience projects in New York State. With this action, Hochul stated that the federal Department of Homeland Security has revoked over $325.5 million in funding for projects that have not yet commenced construction. Additionally, she said there is another $56 million worth of projects where work has already begun, that are potentially at risk.
The New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), member organizations, immigrant New Yorkers, elected officials, and allies rallied at the New York State Capitol in support of the New York For All Act (A3506\/S2235) for the 2025 New York State Legislative Session. The New York for All Act is landmark legislation that would prohibit state and local government agencies, including law enforcement, from colluding with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), sharing sensitive personal information, or allocating personnel and resources to aid in federal immigration enforcement efforts. By reinforcing the separation between local governance and federal immigration policies, the legislation ensures that all New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status, can access public services, care for their families, and participate in community life without fear.<\/p>\n

May
Haitian-American Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn began celebrating Haitian Heritage Month, commemorated annually worldwide each May to honor Haitians at home and those in the Diaspora. Bichotte Hermelyn, chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party and representative for the 42nd Assembly District in Brooklyn, noted that the month-long celebration is an expansion of Haitian Flag Day, also called Haitian Unity Day, which is observed on May 18. \u201cAs the first Haitian-American woman elected in the New York State Legislature, who proudly represents one of the largest Haitian populations in the world, I am honored to join our community in celebrating our strength, resilience, and continued legacy,\u201d the daughter of Haitian immigrants told Caribbean Life. \u201cFrom arts and music to politics and public service \u2014 and many more vital fields, Haitian heritage continues to shape the cultural fabric of New York and the world.\u201d
In its inaugural Memorial Day Ceremony, the Brooklyn-based Caribbean-American Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (CACCI) bestowed honors on five Caribbean-born military veterans. The veterans, who served either their native country or the United States, were: Arden Tannis, a former inspector in the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force; Tannis\u2019s Barbadian-born wife, Dr. Arlette Tannis, an erstwhile member of the Barbados Defense Force; Daton Benn, who served in the Guyana Defense Force; Barbadian-born De-Alvin Wiltshire, a former specialist in the US Army; and Vincentian-born Dr. Nelson A. King, a former US Army sergeant. The honorees were presented with citations and proclamations from U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, who represents the 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn; and New York City Council Member Rita Joseph, the Haitian-born representative for the 40th Council District in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

June
As someone born in Haiti, the first Black republic to rise up and break the chains of slavery, Brooklyn Council Member Mercedes Narcisse says Juneteenth \u201cresonates deeply\u201d with her. \u201cIt serves as a powerful reminder that the fight for liberation has always been shared across oceans, from the sugarcane fields of the Caribbean to the cotton plantations of the American South,\u201d Narcisse, who represents the 46th Council District in Brooklyn, told Caribbean Life exclusively. \u201cOur Caribbean history is inseparable from this legacy,\u201d she added. \u201cWhether in Haiti, Jamaica, Barbados, or Trinidad, we know what it means to resist, to rise, and to reclaim our dignity. Our shared histories connect us. \u201cFrom the fields of Haiti to the plantations of the American South, Black people have always resisted oppression and claimed our humanity, often in solidarity with one another,\u201d Narcisse continued. \u201cThat spirit lives on today.\u201d
Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson hosted a Juneteenth Flag Raising Ceremony on Wednesday, June 18, at Lou Gehrig Plaza in the Bronx, honoring the legacy and resilience of enslaved Americans and their descendants. Gibson, whose father hailed from Trinidad and Tobago, said the Juneteenth ceremony symbolized \u201cfreedom, resilience, and renewed commitment to justice.\u201d She said the flag was raised in \u201ca powerful display of remembrance and unity.\u201d The Bronx Borough President said this year\u2019s ceremony featured live performances and remarks from advocates and local leaders on the historical significance of Juneteenth. \u201cJuneteenth is not just about history. It is about truth, healing, and progress,\u201d Gibson said.<\/p>\n

July
New York City Mayor Eric Adams honored four Caribbean nationals during his annual Caribbean-American Heritage Month Celebration at Gracie Mansion, the mayor\u2019s official residence on East 88th Street, Upper East Side, Manhattan. The honorees were: Angela P. Sealy, the Trinidadian-born former chairperson and treasurer, current member and senior advisor of the Brooklyn-based West Indian American Day Carnival Association (WIADCA); Jacqueline T. Lopardo, a Staten Island-born strategic legal counselor, marketing and branding executive, who boasts from a \u201cpowerful Caribbean lineage\u201d, with Barbadian, Montserratian, Antiguan and Trinidadian roots; Alexandra Actie, St. Lucian-born, former New York City Corrections officer and founding member of the St. Lucia House Foundation, an umbrella organization representing several St. Lucian groups in New York City; and Grenadian International DJ Kevin Crown.

Brooklyn Canarsie Lions Club President Jean Joseph was sworn in for a fourth one-year term on Tuesday, Jul. 22, during an elaborate Installation and Award Ceremony at Community Board 18 on Bergen Avenue in Canarsie, Brooklyn. \u201cI feel both immense gratitude and a renewed sense of responsibility to stand before you again, re-elected as president of the Canarsie Lions Club,\u201d Dominican-born Joseph, a certified public accountant, told the ceremony after she was sworn in by Lions District Gov., Guyanese Jennifer Seymour-Wright. \u201cI am deeply honored.\u201d She said the Lion\u2019s Club International has always been more than \u201ca meeting of minds; it\u2019s a movement of hearts. \u201cAnd tonight, I want to recommit to that heart, that purpose, and the future we\u2019re building together here at the Canarsie Lions,\u201d said Joseph, thanking \u201ceach of you\u2014whether you voted for me or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consul General of Jamaica New York Alsion Roach Wilson, OD, says the island\u2019s 63rd Anniversary of Independence is \u201ca testament to a people who continue to rise, to overcome, and to contribute with pride to every corner of the world we touch.\u201d In her Independence Message on Wednesday, Aug. 6, to the \u201cvibrant Jamaican Diaspora across the 33 states served by the Consulate General of Jamaica in New York, and to our friends in Puerto Rico and Bermuda,\u201d Roach Wilson said the independence anniversary is \u201cmore than a date on the calendar. \u201cWe celebrate this year under the inspiring theme, \u2018Be Proud. Be Bold. In the Black, Green and Gold,\u2019 a call to carry our identity with honor and to live each day with courage and purpose,\u201d she said.
As the Trump administration intensifies mass deportation of Caribbean and other immigrants, the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), an umbrella immigration advocacy group of over 200 immigrant groups in New York State, on Thursday, Aug. 28, unveiled a new series of compelling portraits celebrating immigrant stories at the iconic Flatiron Building in Manhattan. Murad Awawdeh, NYIC president and CEO, told Caribbean Life that the second year of its \u201cNew York Proud\u201d campaign is \u201ca bold public art initiative that transforms subway stations, bus stops, and plazas to showcase the real people at the center of America\u2019s immigration debate. \u201c\u2019New York Proud\u2019 is not just about defending the rights of immigrants \u2013 it\u2019s about reminding New Yorkers the indispensable role immigrants play in keeping our city alive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

September
Despite very heavy police presence, the New York Police Department (NYPD) reported late Monday that at least six people were shot along the massive West Indian-American Day Carnival Parade route on Brooklyn\u2019s Eastern Parkway, bringing a sad end to an otherwise grand extravaganza in picture-perfect weather. As millions of spectators and hundreds of thousands of masqueraders and revelers converged on Labor Day Monday along one of Brooklyn\u2019s major thoroughfares, for the 58th Annual New York Caribbean Carnival Parade, police said a reveler was shot in the leg along the 3 \u00bd parade route, which began at Buffalo Avenue and Eastern Parkway, and ended at Grand Army Plaza and Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. As the parade, which started at 11 a.m. and culminated at 6 p.m., was wrapping up, police also reported that six other people were hit by gunfire in separate incidents. The shootings, though none was reported fatal, marred the pageantry, as millions watched from ubiquitous police barricades, as humongous speakers mounted atop flatbed trucks blasted soca, reggae, kompa, zouk, and other Caribbean music in weather hovering around a high of 78 \u00b0F.
Caribbean-American Democratic U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke says she voted \u201cno\u201d on Friday, Sept. 19, on a Republican-led resolution honoring slain right-wing advocate Charlie Kirk. \u201cI will always condemn senseless acts of political violence,\u201d Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, who represents the 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn, told Caribbean Life on Friday. \u201cNo American \u2014 regardless of party or ideology \u2014 should fear retribution or violence for speaking freely. Charlie Kirk\u2019s murder was a horrific act of political violence, and a stain on the United States and any nation where young children lose their father solely because of the opinions he espoused is a nation in desperate need of healing and a different path forward. \u201cI extend my deepest condolences to the Kirk family, friends, and loved ones, and I pray for strength and comfort for his wife, Erika, their two young children, and all who mourn his loss,\u201d added the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).<\/p>\n

October
Caribbean-American Democratic leaders on Wednesday, Oct. 1, blamed President Donald J. Trump and Republicans for the federal government shutdown. \u201cFrom the moment Donald Trump took office, he and his administration have been on a relentless crusade to make this nation less affordable, less equitable, and less like the America we love with all our hearts,\u201d U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, told Caribbean Life. \u201cThis ongoing government shutdown is simply the culmination of those efforts so far. The American people are not fools,\u201d added the representative for the 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn. \u201cThey see that Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House, and they know the responsibility to fund the government is on the majority\u2019s shoulders. If Republicans cannot keep the government open without Democratic votes, they should have a meaningful dialogue with our leaders rather than insult them with crude, racist caricatures for applause on social media.\u201d
As the Trump administration in the United States builds its military presence in the Caribbean, a Vincentian diplomat in the US is urging the Caribbean to remain a Zone of Peace. St. Vincent and the Grenadines Consul General to the United States Rondy \u201cLuta\u201d McIntosh expressed profound concern while addressing an Ecumenical Service of Thanksgiving in Brooklyn on Sunday, Oct. 19, commemorating St. Vincent and the Grenadines\u2019 46th Anniversary of Political Independence from Great Britain. McIntosh said St. Vincent and the Grenadines marks its milestone with \u201ca profound sense of hope but also heightened awareness of the global and regional threats that surround us. Our region \u2014 the Caribbean \u2014 is now facing growing military tensions and geopolitical rivalries that threaten the long-standing tradition of peace in our hemisphere,\u201d he said. \u201cThese developments are sobering. And they call us, as a sovereign people, to be both vigilant and prayerful. We must not take peace for granted. Let us boldly declare, with faith and unity, that our Caribbean must remain a Zone of Peace \u2014 a region not of warships and weapons, but of dialogue, diplomacy and dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n

November
New York Attorney General Letitia James says she was \u201cheartened\u201d by the dismissal on Monday, Nov. 24, of her indictment by US District Judge Cameron Currie. Judge Currie dismissed the criminal cases against James and former FBI Director James Comey, stating that the prosecutor who brought the charges at President Donald Trump\u2019s behest was illegally appointed by the Department of Justice (DOJ). \u201cI am heartened by today\u2019s victory and grateful for the prayers and support I have received from around the country,\u201d James told Caribbean Life. \u201cI remain fearless in the face of these baseless charges, as I continue fighting for New Yorkers every single day,\u201d she added. Judge Currie stated that it was unlawful to appoint two interim prosecutors consecutively, thereby dismissing the charges against James and Comey without prejudice.
The Jamaica Consulate General in New York announced the Celebration of the Life for Consul General Alsion Marie Roach-Wilson, CD, who died at her home in New York on Nov. 8, according to Jamaica Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Kamina Johnson Smith. Roach-Wilson was 62. She was born on Feb. 21, 1963. The Consulate General of Jamaica at New York said the funeral service took place on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025, at Community Baptist Church of Englewood, 224 1st St., Englewood, NJ. \u00a0Caribbean-American legislators in New York continue to pay tribute to Roach-Wilson. Democratic U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, who represents the 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn, extended \u201cdeepest and most heartfelt condolences\u201d to Roach-Wilson\u2019s husband, Omar, and to the family, colleagues, staff, and loved ones. \u201cOn a very personal note, I am extremely heartbroken by the news of the passing of my dear friend and sister, Alsion Roach-Wilson,\u201d \u00a0Clarke, who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, told Caribbean Life. \u201cBeyond her distinguished service to the Jamaican people, Caribbean-American and diplomatic communities, Alsion was someone whose spirit radiated warmth, compassion, and authenticity, above all else, to others. \u00a0She was, indeed, my sister in service.\u201d<\/p>\n

December
Top Republican and Democratic Senators on the Senate Armed Services Committee have vowed to conduct \u201cvigorous oversight\u201d after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly directed US military troops to \u201ckill everybody\u201d aboard a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean Sea. \u201cThe Committee is aware of recent news reports \u2014 and the Department of Defense\u2019s initial response \u2014 regarding alleged follow-on strikes on suspected narcotics vessels in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,\u201d said Senators Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, and Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island, in a joint statement, referring to the Miami-based US Southern Command that oversees US military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean. \u201cThe Committee has directed inquiries to the department, and we will be conducting vigorous oversight to determine the facts related to the circumstances,\u201d they added. The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives Armed Services Committee also said it will conduct a similar inquiry.
The San Diego, CA-based Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA) on Thursday, Dec. 18, marked International Migrants Day with an urgent call to end United States President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cracist and anti-migrant\u201d agenda. HBA Founder and Executive Director Guerline Jozef told Caribbean Life that HBA \u201cstands in solidarity with migrants globally and condemns the Trump administration\u2019s intensifying attacks on Black, Caribbean, and Global South migrants. \u201cRather than offering protection in accordance with domestic and international laws to people fleeing violence and humanitarian crises, the US government has doubled down on punitive measures that restrict freedom of movement and tear families apart.\u201d At the same time, Jozef said Trump\u2019s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is terminating Family Reunification Parole programs for Haiti, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras \u2014 \u201cending legal pathways that kept families together and provided work authorization for many.\u201d In addition, she said Trump has also moved forward with ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, \u201cstripping hundreds of thousands of Haitians of legal status, despite ongoing violence and humanitarian crisis in their homeland.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JanuaryIn \u201cfighting for your family,\u201d Gov.
