Summary
ICE is preparing a major enforcement push as soon as this week to locate and arrest Haitian nationals expected to lose Temporary Protected Status, according to multiple federal sources.
Monday’s transmission of the Supreme Court’s certified judgment is set to clear lower-court barriers, allowing the Trump administration to proceed with ending TPS protections for more than 300,000 Haitians.
Ohio is expected to be a major focus of the operation because Springfield has a large Haitian population, and ICE leadership has already been notified of the plans, the sources said.
The administration says TPS was never meant to become permanent legal status; the White House and DHS lawyers called the court ruling a win for the rule of law.
Haiti received TPS after the 2010 earthquake, and the planned crackdown could intensify a broader U.S. political fight over immigration that has already centered on Springfield.
