GOP governor of Ohio, home to 10K Haitians, calls TPS ruling ‘a mistake’

The ruling could affect more than 350,000 Haitians and Syrians, while Ohio leaders warn the loss of workers will hurt key industries.

  • On Sunday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine publicly opposed the Trump administration's plan to end Temporary Protected Status for over 350,000 immigrants, following a Supreme Court ruling this week that cleared the way to terminate protections for Haitians and Syrians.
  • DeWine warned the policy is "a mistake," arguing that Haitian workers fill vital roles in Ohio's manufacturing, food production, and healthcare sectors. Immigrants accounted for roughly 75% of Ohio's population growth over the past decade, filling critical labor shortages.
  • Rejecting the administration's comparison to U.S. cities, DeWine insisted Haiti remains unsafe due to gang control, noting the Federal Aviation Administration bars commercial flights to Port-au-Prince. He added the situation is worse than it has ever been.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin outlined a government program offering a plane ticket plus roughly $2,100 for voluntary return, stating migrants must seek permanent status or leave. Mullin argued TPS was always intended to be temporary.
  • While the Supreme Court ruling allows the administration to terminate protections, DeWine maintains that separating legal decisions from public policy is essential. He emphasized that Ohio was built by immigrants and removing these workers is not in the nation's interest.
