REPORT: Illegal Alien Truck Driver from Haiti Allegedly Killed PA State Trooper in Crash

A commercial truck driver with a Massachusetts license reportedly struck and killed a Pennsylvania State Police trooper this week in a fiery crash on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County. The driver is reported to be a Haitian national illegally present in the United States.

Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Pahira, Jr., died on Thursday after being struck by a tractor-trailer during an inspection of another 18-wheeler. The crash resulted in the death of Trooper Pahira.

WGAL NBC8 reports that Trooper Pahira was conducting a safety inspection on a tractor-trailer rig when a truck driven by Michael Bon, a 33-year-old male from Brockton, Massachusetts, allegedly veered off the roadway onto the shoulder. The tractor’s mirror struck the patrol vehicle before Bon’s truck reportedly struck the rear of the vehicle being inspected.

Trooper Pahira became trapped under the front bumper of Bon’s truck before the vehicle burst into flames. Nearby construction workers rushed to the scene and dragged the trooper from beneath the burning wreckage, the local NBC affiliate reported.

Emergency medical crews transported Pahira to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Police took Bon into custody. He now faces the following charges, according to the NBC affiliate:

  • Homicide by vehicle
  • Aggravated assault by vehicle
  • Recklessly endangering another person
  • Involuntary manslaughter
  • Reckless driving
  • Careless driving
  • Duty of driver in relation to emergency response area
  • Driving on roadways laned for traffic
  • Obedience to traffic control device

Officials with the Department of Homeland Security told Breitbart Texas that Bon entered the U.S. on July 2, 2024, at Florida’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as an immigration parolee during the Biden administration. He applied for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) on October 26, 2024. That status was never granted, officials stated.

On June 13, 2025, the Trump administration notified Bon of a Notice of Termination of Parole. Bon then refused to leave the United States, DHS reported.

90,000 Haitians live in Massachusetts and only 10,000 are working…

Even though the Supreme Court has put out some disastrous duds, they’ve also handed President Trump major victories as well. They cleared the way for his team to end Temporary Protected Status for tens of thousands of Haitian migrants. What does TPS mean, exactly? Well, in short, when a foreigner is on TPS, they don’t have to work, and there’s no risk of being deported.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) does not require you to work. Instead, it gives eligible individuals the legal permission to work in the U.S. and protects them from deportation. TPS does not require you to hold a job; it simply provides the legal right to work if you choose to.

So, if they’re not holding down a job, they’re collecting welfare and mooching off the American taxpayer.

The good news is that President Trump can now begin deporting them.

Of course, the reaction from the left came in fast and furious style. The same crowd that exploded with outrage when President Trump called Haiti a “shithole” country years ago, flooding social media with beautiful beach photos and travel brochures, is now arguing that sending migrants back would be a death sentence because Haiti is simply too dangerous.

Western Lensmen:

Jan 2018. Democrats and the media were apoplectic over Trump’s “shithole” comments, and were engaged in a campaign to defend Haiti.

Here, Anderson Cooper explains to Conan what an “amazing,” “incredible” and “culturally rich” place it is, and how he loves to spend his weekends and vacation time there.

Conan then went to Haiti and posed for the infamous “beautiful country” photo while sipping a drink out of a coconut.

Now, Dems and the media are telling you it would mean suffering or death for anyone to be sent back there.

Their narrative is wholly dependent on what is deemed to be politically useful at any given time.

Ohio Sen. Moreno Rips GOP Gov. DeWine for Putting Haitian Migrants over Americans

Ohio’s Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno blasted his state’s governor, Republican Mike DeWine, for the governor’s support of the thousands of Haitian migrants Joe Biden imported into the state as the Trump administration moves to revoke their temporary protected immigration status.

DeWine went on left-wing CNN and attacked the Trump administration for working to revoke the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of some 300,000 economic migrants from Haiti, thousands of whom flooded into the Buckeye State during the Biden years. On CNN, DeWine insisted that the Haitians have been an integral part of Ohio communities.

“It is not in the United States’s interest, certainly not in Ohio’s interest,” DeWine told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, who are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses, and then put deep roots in this country and really are contributing, and yank them out!”

DeWine painted a picture of Haitians who are important and contributing greatly to America and Ohio both.

But Sen. Moreno begged to disagree. In fact, Moreno said that these thousands of Haitians are a net drag on Ohio, and not a boon to the state’s economy at all.

Moreno said that housing has become more expensive because of all these migrants, that car accidents have soared, and that these Haitians are sucking up billions in welfare that should be going to Ohioans, not economic migrants.

Four Convicted in Plot That Led to Haitian President Jovenel Moïse’s Assassination

On July 7, 2021, Jovenel Moïse, the 43rd President of Haiti, was assassinated in his private residence in the Pèlerin 5 neighborhood of Pétion-Ville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince.

An armed group of mercenaries, mostly Colombian ex-soldiers plus two Haitian-Americans, stormed his home posing as DEA agents (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) to gain access.

Moïse, aged 53, was shot 12 times and severely beaten before his death.

His wife, First Lady Martine Moïse, was shot multiple times but survived. Their children, who were home at the time, were left unharmed.

On Friday, a federal jury in Miami convicted four defendants for their roles in the assassination.

The DOJ shared, “Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, Antonio Intriago, Walter Veintemilla, and James Solages were convicted of conspiracy to provide material support or resources to carry out a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 956, resulting in death; providing material support and resources to carry out a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 956, resulting in death; conspiracy to kill and kidnap a person outside the United States; conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States; and expedition against a friendly nation. Intriago was also convicted of a third count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the U.S.; smuggling goods from the U.S.; and submitting false or misleading export information.”

“According to court records and evidence presented at trial, Pretel Ortiz, Intriago, Veintemilla, and Solages embarked on a scheme in early 2021 to violently overthrow President Moïse and install their handpicked successor so that the defendants could obtain lucrative government contracts in Haiti.”

“To carry out the plot, the defendants recruited allies in the U.S., Colombia, and Haiti, including 22 former Colombian Army soldiers and Haitian gang leaders. Eight of the co-conspirators, including two of the Colombian mercenaries and several of the group’s Haitian and American allies, pleaded guilty for their roles in the conspiracy, and six of them testified at trial.”

All four defendants face maximum penalties of life in prison.

House Votes to Advance Bill PROTECTING Haitian Migrants — Six Republicans Vote “Yes”

Congress is now trying to pass legislation that would protect hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants from deportation.

Today, the House of Representatives advanced a bill that would re-instate temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitian migrants for three more years.

The final vote was 219-209, with six Republicans siding with Democrats to advance the bill.

Those six were:

  • Maria Elvira Salazar – Florida
  • Don Bacon – Nebraska
  • Brian Fitzpatrick – Pennsylvania
  • Carlos Gimenez – Florida
  • Mike Lawler – New York
  • Nicole Malliotakis – New York

Here are the full details:

BREAKING: Six House Republicans just joined Democrats to PROTECT HAITIAN MIGRANTS, 219-209

Are you KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?

This would give Haitians temporary protected status — a category in which one of them KlLLED that woman in Florida at a gas station

Per Tim Burchett: “A Democrat motion to provide for consideration that legal immigrants status to Haitians.”

“It provides legal immigrants status to Haitians who are already in the United States. So you have illegal Haitians here and we’re going to allow them to stay. And [several] Republicans, look them up, who they were.”

“You can pretty much guess, but go ahead and look them up. Anyway, unbelievable. This is one time I’m glad for an inaction in the Senate.”

“That’s what we’ve become. We gotta, we gotta clean this mess up up here.”

REPUBLICAN “YEAs”:
– Salazar
– Bacon
– Fitzpatrick
– Gimenez
– Lawler
– Malliotakis

It’s not final passage, but this is the motion moving forward.

Under President Trump’s orders, the Department of Homeland Security has been ending TPS for many groups of migrants — including those from Venezuela and Afghanistan.

Back in June, it was announced that TPS would also be canceled for Haitians. However, rogue judges have blocked that order from going into effect.

Democrat Sherrod Brown: Extending Protections for Haitian Migrants Is ‘Putting Ohio Communities First’

With Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants set to expire on February 3, 2026, former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) — who is running for the U.S. Senate in 2026 — is calling on the administration to extend the designation, citing economic disruption in Ohio communities and the lack of a safe place for Haitians to return.

Former U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown posted on X Friday morning:

As I travel the state, I hear the same thing that Governor DeWine has heard from Ohioans: they are concerned about their Haitian neighbors and about the economic impact the expiration of TPS for Haitian Americans will have on their communities.

That’s why I’m calling on the Administration to extend TPS for Ohio’s Haitian community now. Haitian Americans don’t have a safe place to return to in Haiti and our communities across Ohio depend on them to help our local economy thrive.

I’m calling on Governor Mike DeWine and Senators Jon Husted and Bernie Moreno to put Ohio communities first and join my call to extend TPS for the Haitian community.

Brown took questions from reporters at an affordability roundtable event on Friday afternoon. According to Andrew Tobias, a politics reporter for Signal Ohio who covered the event, Brown declared ICE “needs to be ‘radically redone’” and called for the firing of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Tobias also reported Brown stated, “Bringing ICE in means that these communities are less safe.”

Responding to Sherrod Brown’s call, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) — who unseated him despite a $194 million Democratic campaign — remarked:

You still don’t get it, do you @SherrodBrown? Voters are sick of liberal Democrats like you selling out American workers for cheap migrant labor every time. That’s why you got fired!

This isn’t hard: Temporary Protected Status was always TEMPORARY. Now it’s time to go home.

He doubled down on this stance in a recent interview with Statehouse News Bureau: “Everybody always knew the date, so we shouldn’t have to surge a force in there, to forcibly deport people who knew for a long time that they have to do that on their own.”

Moreno has criticized the $110,000-per-year burden per illegal migrant on taxpayers during a Breitbart News Daily interview, asserting that such spending eclipses what the average American earns annually. In that interview, he called the Biden administration’s immigration approach “abject insanity” and emphasized that migrants should only be admitted if they contribute economically without relying on government assistance.

Texas creeps indicted in wild plot to invade tiny island to kill the men and use women and children as ‘their sex slaves’: feds

Two twisted Texans allegedly planned to invade a small Haitian island with an army of homeless people — to kill all the men so they could enslave the women and kids as “their sex slaves,” according to federal prosecutors.

Gavin Rivers Weisenburg, 21, and Tanner Christopher Thomas, 20, were indicted for conspiracy to murder, maim or kidnap in a foreign country for the bonkers plot “for the purpose of carrying out their rape fantasies,” federal prosecutors announced Thursday.

The accused pedophiles “planned to purchase a sailboat, firearms, and ammunition, then recruit members of the [Washington, DC] homeless population to serve as a mercenary force as they invaded Gonave Island and staged a coup d’etat,” the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas said of the island of about 100,000 people.

“Weisenburg and Thomas intended to murder all of the men on the island so that they could then turn all of the women and children into their sex slaves,” the feds alleged.

The pair “undertook numerous overt acts in furtherance of their invasion plan, including making operational and logistical plans” — and even learning Haitian Creole, the feds said.

Weisenburg enrolled in the North Texas Fire Academy to learn “command-and-control protocols” and traveled to Thailand to take sailing lessons, according to the indictment.

US Marines Protecting American Embassy Exchange Gunfire with Suspected Gang Members in Haiti

According to reports, U.S. Marines tasked with protecting the American embassy in Haiti came under gunfire in the capital of Port-au-Prince last week by suspected gang members, firing back at the perpetrators.

On Sunday, in an emailed statement to Fox News Digital, Capt. Steven J. Keenan confirmed the incident and noted, “U.S. Marines are committed to the safety and security of U.S. embassies worldwide and respond to all threats with professionalism and swift, disciplined action.”

Per Fox News:

No service members were injured in the incident, which was first reported over the weekend by The Washington Post.

Neither the State Department nor the U.S. Embassy in Haiti immediately responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The Caribbean nation has been plagued by gang violence, with armed groups reportedly controlling up to 90% of Port-au-Prince, according to the United Nations. The groups block access roads, attack infrastructure, and terrorize civilians through kidnappings, rapes and killings.

The gangs exert control through extortion and use heavy weaponry in their violent efforts.

While the United States continues to operate an embassy in Haiti, the State Department has issued numerous travel warnings because of the risk of kidnappings, crimes, terrorist activity, and civil unrest.

ICE Arrests Haitian Business Tycoon as Trump Targets Corrupt Politicians

The United States is intensifying its efforts to hold Haiti’s political and economic elite accountable, as both the Department of State and federal immigration authorities took major actions this week against high-profile Haitian figures.

On Monday, the State Department publicly designated Arnel Belizaire, a former member of Haiti’s Chamber of Deputies, and Antonio Cheramy, a former Haitian senator, for their involvement in significant corruption during their time in public office. 

According to U.S. officials, both men abused their positions by interfering with government processes, acts that destabilized Haiti’s institutions and undercut democratic governance. 

The designations render Belizaire, Cheramy, and their immediate family members generally ineligible to enter the United States.

“Corrupt and destructive acts by these officials had serious effects on U.S. national interests by further destabilizing Haiti’s institutions and processes,” the department stated. 

The designation further underscores the Trump administration’s commitment to holding accountable individuals who undermine stability in Haiti.

The following day, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed the arrest of Dimitri Vorbe, one of Haiti’s wealthiest and most influential businessmen. 

Vorbe, who has long been a central figure in Haiti’s private energy sector, was taken into custody in Miami and is currently being held at the Krome North Service Processing Center. 

Federal records showed no formal charges against him as of Tuesday evening, and ICE officials declined to comment further.

Vorbe’s detention comes just two months after ICE arrested another Haitian business tycoon, Réginald Boulos, in Florida. 

U.S. authorities have accused Boulos of supporting violent gangs in Haiti that Washington has labeled terrorist organizations.

Obama Judge Says to Hell with Supreme Court, Blocks Trump Admin From Canceling Protected Status For 1.1 Million Venezuelans and Haitians

A San Francisco-based federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump Administration from canceling Protected Status for 1.1 million Venezuelans and Haitians.

US District Judge Edward Chen, an Obama appointee, acknowledged the Supreme Court’s ruling but claimed the high court did not bar him from adjudicating the case on the merits.

Earlier this year Judge Chen temporarily paused Trump’s plans to end Biden’s TPS program.

The DOJ argued that the parole programs were discretionary and it is up to the government to decide when it can cut the program.

In May, the Supreme Court in an 8-1 decision lifted Judge Chen’s block on Trump’s order to revoke protected status for hundreds of thousands of migrants while the policy was challenged in court.

Judge Chen said the Supreme Court didn’t bar him from issuing an order.

The Associated Press reported:

A federal judge on Friday ruled against the Trump administration from ending temporary legal protections that have granted more than 1 million people from Haiti and Venezuela the right to live and work in the United States.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of San Francisco for the plaintiffs means 600,000 Venezuelans whose temporary protections expired in April or whose protections were about to expire Sept. 10 have status to stay and work in the United States.

Chen said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s actions in terminating and vacating three extensions granted by the previous administration exceeded her statutory authority and were arbitrary and capricious.

CBP data found that over 1 million illegal aliens have been allowed into the US through what the Biden Regime defined as “legal” means.” The Biden-Kamala admin used the CBP One App and the CHNV program to allow illegals entry into the US.

These numbers are not included in the millions of illegals that have entered the US under Joe Biden’s watch.
