Ohio’s GOP governor: Ending TPS for Haitians would be ‘blow to the economy’
Who benefits from this decision?
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) defended Haitians under temporary protected status (TPS) who reside in his state, three days after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from revoking such status from hundreds of thousands of migrants from the Caribbean country.
“If they lose temporary protected status and they no longer can work and the companies can’t employ them, that’s a blow to the economy, that’s a blow to the state,” DeWine told host Dana Bash Thursday on CNN’s “Inside Politics.”
DeWine said Thursday that Springfield “is coming back” in part because of the Haitian community.
“They’re not only working, but of course they’re spending money in the community. There’s been businesses started, restaurants have started,” he added.
Ongoing Court Case
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes implemented a stay on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s order halting TPS for Haitians in the U.S., which was scheduled to go into effect Tuesday. The order is on hold pending the result of a lawsuit five Haitian TPS holders filed against the Trump administration last July.
In a scathing 83-page memorandum opinion, Reyes wrote that the Homeland Security secretary did not consult with appropriate agencies before issuing the order — as required by federal law — and it seems “substantially likely” she “preordained her termination decision and did so because of hostility to nonwhite immigrants.”
She also noted that while the administration contends that “the harms to Haitian TPS holders are speculative,” the State Department issued a travel advisory on July 15 that individuals should not travel to Haiti “due to kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, civil unrest, and limited healthcare.”
“‘Do not travel to Haiti for any reason’ does not exactly scream, as Secretary Noem concluded, suitable for return,” wrote Reyes, an appointee of former President Biden.
Are Hatians being unfairly targeted by DHS for removal? Which countries honestly qualify for TPS? Are Republicans trying to moderate on immigration after a decline in support on this issue? Do you expect Ohio Republican candidates to echo DeWine's sentiments for the 2026 midterms, like Vivek Ramaswamy and Jon Husted?
