A gathering of about 30 Haitians and community members in Springfield, Ohio responds to the impending termination of temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitian nationals. Despite a federal judge blocking the Department of Homeland Security's attempts to end TPS, fear persists due to recent court decisions favoring deportation. Attendees receive guidance on preparing for Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions, while volunteers work to avoid a humanitarian crisis that could result in thousands of U.S.-born Haitian children becoming stateless or separated from their families.
By 2 September, Haitian nationals under temporary protected status (TPS) would face termination proceedings, forcing them out of the US, despite recent federal court rulings.
Booklets containing advice on preparing for raids and immigration enforcement actions are passed around as community members seek guidance on potential deportations.
