What happened?

WINK reports Rolbert Joachin is returning to court after being charged with murdering Nilufa Yasmine outside a convenience store in Fort Myers. The case has grown beyond a local homicide story because Joachin had been in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status before that status was stripped. The court appearance is now colliding with a bigger national fight over immigration policy and Haitian TPS.
