White House News
Biden Addressed United Nations General Assembly In New York City Tuesday
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
Haitians Treated Badly At Border
President Biden deliv- ered his first address Tuesday morning at the United Na- tions General Assembly since taking office, facing his inter- national peers following the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan, amid ten- sions with France after a new trilateral agreement with the United Kingdom and Aus- tralia, all while the world con- tinues to grapple with COVID-19.
The president addressed the United Nations General
Assembly in New York City, with administration officials describing the event as a "huge opportunity" for Biden.
Asked about the multiple crises facing the Biden ad- ministration, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said this is "what you do as president."
"You navigate crises, you weather storms and we’re cer- tainly doing that right now," Psaki said on "CBS This Morning."
“We’re trapped,” said Joncito Jean, 37, who had spent three days sleeping on a sheet on the ground with his wife and children, ages 3 and 4. He said he regretted the de- cision to come.
“There are no humane conditions... We have to break out to buy water.”
More than 12,000 Haitian migrants, have been gathering under the bridge in recent days, awaiting immigration processing. Instead, U.S. offi- cials began removing several thousand people from the camp over the weekend, in-
cluding some who were later seen arriving in Haiti.
U.S. border patrol officers cut the way of migrants asy- lum seekers as they are trying to return to the United States along the Rio Grande river, after having crossed from the United States into Mexico to buy food, as seen from Ciudad Acuna, in Ciudad Acuna, Mex- ico.
Still, several people who spoke to reporters, most of whom traveled with their chil- dren, said they would take their chances to try to stay in the United States.
A U.S. law enforcement of- ficer on horseback wielded what appeared to be a lariat, whipping it close to the face of a Haitian migrant wading in the Rio Grande carrying a plastic bag of food.
It was just one desperate moment in a few hours of such scenes along the Rio Grande on Sunday.
Hundreds of Haitian mi- grants who have been camp- ing under a bridge in the Texas town of Del Rio were trying to bring food and other supplies from Ciudad Acuña in the Mexican state of Coahuila, while U.S. officials have stepped up security at the border and started flying migrants out of the area, some to Haiti.
Migrants said their squalid encampment under a bridge on the U.S. side of the river was short of supplies. U.S. of- ficials over the last few days had let migrants cross back and forth at a shallow point of the river. On Sunday, how- ever, they told migrants they would not be able to return to the U.S. side if they ventured into Mexico.

Nurse Pleads Guilty To Threatening To Kill Vice President Kamala Harris
A Florida nurse pled guilty last week after admitting to threatening to kill Vice Pres- ident Kamala Harris ear- lier this year.
Niviane Petit Phelps, 39, sent 30-second video clips to her husband, who was be- hind bars, in February where she unfurled threats towards Harris’ life, claimed to have accepted $53,000 to carry out the “hit” on the Vice President, and vowed to assassinate her within 50 days.
Special Agent David Bal- lenger was made aware of the threat towards the Vice Presi- dent in March. “The videos
VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND NIVIANE PETIT PHELPS
(that are of relevance to this investigation) generally depict Phelps complaining and speaking angrily to the camera about her hatred for Presi-
dent Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, among others,” the complaint reads, per CBS Miami. “How- ever, in these videos, Phelps also made statements about killing Vice President Har- ris.”
“Kamala Harris you are going to die. Your days are numbered already,” Phelps said in one video.
Phelps also shared a photo of herself at the gun range while holding a firearm and a target sheet. The De- partment of Justice said she applied for a concealed weapon permit two days later.
