Former President Donald Trump has announced that, if re-elected, he intends to revoke the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of Haitian immigrants, particularly targeting those in Springfield, Ohio. This proposal follows unsubstantiated claims from Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance, that Haitian migrants have caused issues in the town, including accusations of stealing and eating pets. TPS, initially granted to Haitians after the 2010 earthquake, allows individuals from countries in crisis to reside legally in the U.S. Despite legal status, Trump asserts that Springfield is 'overrun' and plans to deport these immigrants. This stance has faced criticism from figures like Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and immigration advocates, who emphasize the legal status and contributions of these communities. The Biden administration had renewed TPS for affected groups, highlighting the humanitarian need.
