DHS says 380 arrested in Springfield, Ohio, after Haiti TPS protections end
Immigration agents detained Haitian migrants after the Trump administration ended temporary protected status and offered $3,000 plus a return flight for self-deportation.
- On Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced that immigration agents arrested 380 people in Springfield, Ohio, following the late July termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian migrants.
- The administration ended TPS protections, originally granted over 15 years ago, and is offering $3,000 to migrants who self-deport. Mullin stated those who entered without authorization "chose to cut the line."
- Pierre Damas Bel, a 20-year-old Wright State University student, died Monday after walking into traffic on Interstate 70. ICE, which had placed Bel "on alternatives to detention program," stated the agency is "not responsible."
- At a Thursday vigil in Dayton, community members and faith leaders demanded the end of ICE operations and ankle monitors. Activists like Maxx Bowman blamed the administration's policies for Bel's death.
- Mullin confirmed that ICE will continue its enforcement "push" in Springfield, refusing to ease ankle monitor policies. The State Department maintains a Level 4 "Do Not Travel" advisory for Haiti.
