DeWine presses Trump to reconsider ending Haitian TPS despite Supreme Court ruling

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine urged President Trump to rethink ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, arguing safety concerns from Haiti’s gang violence and the jobs Haitians hold in Ohio justify treating them with refugee-like relief, even as the Supreme Court clears TPS termination from judicial review. About 350,000 Haitians nationwide are on TPS, including more than 10,000 in Ohio; DeWine stressed policy should guide decisions. DHS Secretary Mullin outlined options for Haitians—pursue permanent residence, obtain another visa, or return with government assistance—while noting a compensation figure of roughly $2,100 per person for those who return.
