Here’s what you need to know today: concerns over China’s influence on Olympics coverage.But first, today’s One Big Thing: a growing crisis for Haitian migrants in South FloridaFrom 2020 to 2021, the number of Haitian migrants intercepted off the coast of Florida by the US coast guard has tripled to at least 1,500 people. Joe Biden came to little Haiti and said, “We will protect you.”FRANDLEY JULIEN: We have lost our illusion when it comes to not only the Biden administration, but the Democrats.NIALA: Since the start of the Biden presidency, more than 18,000 Haitians who've tried to enter the U.S. have been expelled back to Haiti. I left Haiti 20 years ago and Haiti has never been in such a bad state.NIALA: As those crises deepen more Haitians are now taking to the seas to try to enter the U.S. through south Florida. Yes.JACQUELINE: Yes, they’ve reached out - NIALA: That's how you knew - JACQUELINE: Yes, that’s how I know that the most recent boat, for instance, came from Haiti.NIALA: Can you explain, Jacquie, why it's significant that these boats are coming directly from Haiti now and how that's different?JACQUELINE: Yeah, so what we've seen in south Florida, you know, usually you see these go-fast boats, which is, you know, they will come from The Bahamas and they would have migrants in them and they would drop them off on the coastline or on a beach somewhere. It's going to become a push factor.NIALA: Jacqueline Charles covers Haiti and the Caribbean for the Miami Herald.In 15 seconds: Republicans press NBC over Beijing Olympics coverage.[ad break]NIALA: Welcome back to Axios Today. Photos: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images, Christian Torres/Anadolu Agency via Getty ImagesContinued turmoil in Haiti is causing a growing number of Haitians to try to make it to American shores — and some advocates say the Biden administration isn't supporting this community in its time of crisis.The big picture: Haitian-American activists in South Florida told Axios Today they feel like President Biden has gone back on campaign promises he made to the community to stand up for them.
