Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine urges the Trump administration to reconsider a plan to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants after a recent Supreme Court decision, according to multiple reports. The Supreme Court ruling, issued this week, clears the way for the administration to terminate TPS for people from Haiti and Syria, allowing the government to remove thousands of migrants who currently hold the designation.
DeWine says the policy would be harmful to Ohio and asks for reconsideration of the administration’s approach. PBS reports that more than 10,000 Haitian migrants have settled in Ohio, making the state among those likely to see significant effects if TPS ends. The Hill reports that DeWine directly called on President Trump to reevaluate the elimination of Haitian TPS following the Court’s decision.
Both sources describe DeWine framing the move as a problem for communities in Ohio, while acknowledging that the Supreme Court ruling removes major legal obstacles to TPS termination.
