ICE Summons Hundreds of Ohio Haitians, Fits Some With Ankle Monitors After TPS Ends for 350,000

3 articles · Updated · abcnews.com · Aug 4

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.
