Ohio cities brace for possible uptick of ICE activity after protected status ends for Haitians

Ohio cities with large Haitian populations are preparing for increased ICE activity after temporary protected status for Haitians ended on July 27. Local leaders, including Springfield’s mayor and Ohio’s governor, have expressed concerns about potential enforcement actions, while some community members report ICE requesting Haitians to report for ankle bracelets. About 30,000 Haitians with temporary status live in central Ohio.
