Summary
Hundreds of Haitian immigrants in Ohio have received DHS call-in letters ordering in-person ICE check-ins, and advocates say some left with ankle monitors and future court dates.
The enforcement push follows the Trump administration's July termination of Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Haitians after the Supreme Court cleared the move in June.
Springfield advocates said Haitians with TPS were called in regardless of whether they also had pending asylum claims, deepening uncertainty over detention risk and next legal steps.
Some TPS holders have already lost work permits, while others with active asylum cases still retain work authorization as DHS argues the program had become a de facto amnesty.
