Springfield’s economic collapse and a 40-mile march mark the fallout of Haiti’s TPS termination
The revocation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians has triggered a severe economic and social crisis in Springfield, Ohio. As residents face deportation or mandatory ankle monitoring, local businesses are shuttering and jobs are vanishing. In response, faith leaders and community members have launched a 40-mile march to Columbus to demand an end to the monitoring program and ICE presence in the city.
