Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine tells CBS News that the Trump administration would make a “mistake” if it arrests and deports Haitians after ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS). In interviews, DeWine argues that returning people to Haiti amid ongoing instability would be harmful, and he warns the move could also negatively affect Ohio’s economy. DeWine says Haiti’s current conditions are dire and characterizes the situation as unsafe, arguing that many affected Haitians would not return voluntarily and could instead move to other countries. He links the potential disruptions to communities in Ohio, including Springfield, where he says Haitian residents have worked and helped local businesses and economic recovery. Bloomberg and The Hill similarly report DeWine’s warning to the GOP and his plea for the administration not to proceed with mass deportations. While DeWine opposes the approach, the reports also note that the Trump administration is pursuing increased enforcement actions against Haitians whose TPS protections have been terminated. The accounts collectively describe DeWine’s public criticism as an attempt to influence federal policy and highlight both humanitarian and economic concerns.
