The Trump administration has announced that it will reduce the temporary protected status of hundreds of Haitian refugees, putting them on track to leave the country.
” Trump and]former DHS minister Alejandro] Mayorkas attempted to tie the hands of the Trump presidency by extending Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status by 18 months—far longer than determined or necessary”, a DHS spokesperson said.
” We are returning dignity to the TPS method, which has been abused and exploited by improper foreigners for years”, she added. ” President Donald Trump and Secretary Noem are returning TPS to its original position: short-lived”.
TPS is generally used when there is a war or economic catastrophe in their home country, and it allows immigrants from designated nations to stay in the country even if they first entered the country illegally.
Since a large disaster hit the nation 15 years ago, which allowed hundreds of thousands of people to immigrate to the United States, the majority of them entered during the Biden administration, according to DHS. The bureau estimates that 57, 000 Haitians were available in 2011, a quantity that reached 155, 000 in August 2021 and finally jumped to 520, 694 by July 2024.
Last fall, the Trump plan rehashed accusations that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio were euthanizing dogs and cats, raising the bar.
Trump said during his only presidential debate with Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris,” A lot of towns don’t want to talk about it because they’re so embarrassed by it.” ” In Springfield, they’re eating the pups, the people that came in, they’re eating the cat. They’re eating — they’re eating the dogs of the people that live it”.
While that state was false, it spotlighted the fact that up to 20, 000 people from Haiti had been allowed to move into the mid-sized area, causing disruption and issue among many of the town’s people.
Trump improved his profits in Clark County, where the city is located, and won the town of Springfield for the first time last month.
These migrants may now be forced to move back home after this time, even though the move is likely to face legal difficulties.
Vice President JD Vance, an Ohio native and original U. S. Senator, praised the government’s immigration position during remarks on Thursday without mentioning Springfield exclusively.

” It’s simple: American tax money should go to American people, not to illegitimate creatures”, he posted on X. The Trump Administration is regaining border power and” stopping this madness in its lines”
The news comes in response to Noem’s news to cancel TPS for Venezuela last month.
