White House Pushes for Clarity on Border Shutdown Amid Immigration Wrangling

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that there are "different definitions" of what it means to shut down the border when questioned about President Biden's recent immigration rhetoric, emphasizing the need for new enforcement tools and fair measures. This comes after Biden vowed to "shut down the border" if Congress passes a bipartisan immigration deal, drawing comparisons to former President Trump's similar statements that were criticized as "racist" by Democrats and critics.

Dominican Republic Implements Border Closure with Haiti Amidst Water Dispute

Hundreds of Haitians are returning from the Dominican Republic ahead of a total border shutdown announced by the Dominican president amid a conflict over the construction of a water channel from a shared river. The border closure, set to last "as long as necessary," aims to address the violation of a 1929 treaty. The Dominican Republic has tightened border security due to worsening gang warfare in Haiti and has been deporting tens of thousands of Haitians. The Haitian government asserts its sovereign right to exploit natural resources and vows to protect the interests of its people.
