    The unexpected gender dynamic shaping the 2024 election Analysis by. El-zion Global Network News. All signs suggest that the partisan divide over changing gender roles in society could widen even further in the 2024 election, adding a new source of uncertainty to a contest already on a knife’s edge. Donald Trump's recent declaration to female voters that  "I will be your protector ' offered the latest demonstration of the former president’s determination to consolidate the voters most committed to traditional gender roles and family structures – a culturally conservative group that includes not only many men but also a large number of women. In the process, though, political strategists in both parties believe the GOP nominee risks further alienating the broad array of voters who are comfortable with the social changes that have challenged those traditional patterns of family life, especially women.

    Trump Says He Would Deport Haitian Immigrants in Springfield, Ohio Temporary protected status was granted to Haitian immigrants in 2010 after a major earthquake in the country and has since been extended multiple times. Former President Donald Trump said in a new interview that he would revoke the legal status of Haitian immigrants living in Springfield, Ohio, and work to deport them back to their native country. “It has nothing to do with Haiti or anything else. It doesn’t work. You have to remove the people, and you have to bring them back to their own country,” Trump told NewsNation on Oct. 2. “Springfield is such a beautiful place. Have you seen what’s happened to it? It’s been overrun. You can’t do that to people. They have to be removed. Absolutely, I’d revoke [the status]. I’d bring them back to their country.” He also said he doesn’t view the protection the immigrants have as legal. Temporary protected status was granted  to Haitian immigrants in 2010 after a...

  US Will Not Extend Legal Status of Migrants Who Entered via Parole Program Migrants who have not obtained legal status another way will need to leave the country before their parole period ends or risk being deported, the DHS said. The Biden administration will not extend the legal status of migrants who entered the United States through a humanitarian parole program, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Friday. The administration launched the two-year parole program in 2022 for Venezuelans, aiming to reduce illegal crossings at the border. It was later expanded to include migrants from Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua. The CHNV program allows up to 30,000 migrants from the four countries into the United States each month, provided they meet certain conditions, including having a U.S. sponsor who will provide them with financial support. The DHS said that migrants who arrived in the United States under the program will need to obtain legal status through other immigratio...
