Trump Says He Would Deport Haitian Immigrants in Springfield, Ohio

Temporary protected status was granted to Haitian immigrants in 2010 after a major earthquake in the country and has since been extended multiple times.

Former President Donald Trump said in a new interview that he would revoke the legal status of Haitian immigrants living in Springfield, Ohio, and work to deport them back to their native country.

โ€œIt has nothing to do with Haiti or anything else. It doesnโ€™t work. You have to remove the people, and you have to bring them back to their own country,โ€ Trump told NewsNation on Oct. 2.

โ€œSpringfield is such a beautiful place. Have you seen whatโ€™s happened to it? Itโ€™s been overrun. You canโ€™t do that to people. They have to be removed. Absolutely, Iโ€™d revoke [the status]. Iโ€™d bring them back to their country.โ€

He also said he doesnโ€™t view the protection the immigrants have as legal.

Temporary protected status was granted to Haitian immigrants in 2010 after a major earthquake in the country. The designation was extended multiple times until, under Trump, the federal government announced that the designation would be ending. Legal challenges blocked that effort and the designation has since been extended through Feb. 3, 2026, by President Joe Bidenโ€™s administration.

Temporary protected status gives immigrants from certain countries the ability to legally work and live in the United States, even if they entered illegally. Officials grant the status when they find the immigrantsโ€™ home countries have conditions that make returning there unsafe.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in June that the extension was being granted because of ongoing violence and insecurity in Haiti.

Hundreds of thousands of Haitian immigrants have come to the United States in recent yearsโ€”the U.S. Census Bureau says some 852,000 are living in America as of Februaryโ€”with at least 15,000 going to Springfield.

Some residents there have expressed frustration over the influx, saying local institutions have been slow to serve Americans because of assistance being given to immigrants. Others, such as Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, say the immigrants have helped fill jobs and contribute to the state in various ways.
