ICE to begin operation targeting 300K+ Haitian migrants losing TPS status
ICE is preparing to launch operations to arrest over 300,000 Haitian migrants following a Supreme Court ruling that allows the administration to end their Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The operation will focus on areas with large Haitian populations, such as Springfield, Ohio.
Why it matters
This represents a major shift in immigration enforcement policy that directly impacts the legal status and residency of hundreds of thousands of individuals.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to dramatically ramp up operations to locate and arrest Haitian nationals whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is expected to end imminently, multiple federal sources told Fox News. The expanded operation is expected to begin as soon as this week. The Supreme Court’s certified judgment is expected to be transmitted to the lower courts Monday, clearing the way for the Trump administration to proceed with ending TPS for more than 300,000 Haitians. Federal sources told Fox News that Ohio will be heavily targeted because Springfield, Ohio, has a large Haitian population. ICE leadership has been notified of the operational plans, the sources said.
