Former president Donald Trump has revealed that he would seek to revoke the legal status of Haitian immigrants residing in Springfield, Ohio, and deport them back to Haiti if he wins in November.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS), granted to Haitian immigrants after the 2010 earthquake, has allowed many to live and work legally in the United States, despite their initial unauthorized entry. The designation has been extended multiple times due to continued instability in Haiti, including under the administration of President Joe Biden, which extended it until Feb. 3, 2026.
In turn, Haitian immigrants, fleeing violence and insecurity, have made up a massive part of the recent influx of migrants to the United States. A recent report from the U.S. Census Bureau reports that 852,000 Haitian immigrants live in the country, with Springfield housing at least 15,000 of them.
In an interview with NewsNation on Oct. 2, Trump argued that the TPS protections are not legally valid, so he intends to reverse the policy if reelected.
“It has nothing to do with Haiti or anything else. It doesn’t work. You have to remove the people, and you have to bring them back to their own country,” Trump said during the interview. “Springfield is such a beautiful place. Have you seen what’s happened to it? It’s been overrun. You can’t do that to people. They have to be removed. Absolutely, I’d revoke [the status]. I’d bring them back to their country.” (Related: Sylacauga City Council abruptly ends meeting after residents question the influx of Haitian immigrants.)
Trump has consistently taken a hardline stance on immigration since his first term as president.
However, the majority of his anti-illegal immigrant policies have been reversed by President Joe Biden since he took office. So, when Trump began his campaign for the 2024 presidential election, he vowed to make up for the lost progress by implementing “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history” if reelected.
“Upon my inauguration, I will immediately terminate every Open Borders policy of the Biden administration. Following the Eisenhower Model, we will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American History,” Trump said during a speech in Iowa in September 2023. “I’ll also invoke immediately the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members.”
And now that Springfield has become a flashpoint in the immigrant debate, fueled by allegations that Haitian immigrants were abducting and consuming pets, Trump reiterated his stance during the NewsNation interview.
This interview came after Trump acknowledged social media posts, including a story shared in a Facebook crime group, accusing Haitian immigrants of eating dogs and cats during the presidential debate in September.
“They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats,” Trump said during an answer to a question about immigration. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.”
