Springfield, Ohio, reels as Haitian residents hide or leave after TPS ends
The economy of Springfield, Ohio, has taken a hit as Haitian immigrants stay in their homes or leave after the Trump administration canceled their temporary protected status, The Washington Post reported.
Springfield, Ohio, is feeling the economic impact as Haitian immigrants stay inside their homes or leave the city after the Trump administration canceled their temporary protected status (TPS), The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Thousands of Haitians settled in the Midwestern industrial city in recent years, many of them working in factories and warehouses. Their right to live and work legally in the United States depended on TPS, which shields migrants from deportation when conditions in their home countries are deemed unsafe.
According to the Post, the city’s economy has suffered as Haitian workers and customers disappear from local businesses. The Dayton Daily News has reported that the Springfield metro area recorded the worst job losses in Ohio over the past year.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, has warned that many Haitians employed in the city would no longer be legally allowed to work once their protection ends.
The Department of Homeland Security says conditions in Haiti have improved enough for people to return safely, a finding that has been widely disputed and challenged in court.
Springfield drew national attention in 2024, when false claims that Haitian immigrants were eating residents’ pets spread during the presidential campaign.
