DHS Is Placing Ankle Monitors on Haitians Who Were in the US Under Temporary Protected Status
At least two people were fitted with ankle monitors as hundreds protested the ICE check-ins and advocates warned of few legal options.
- On Sunday, August 2, Haitian residents in Ohio reported to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Blue Ash following a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the Trump administration to end their Temporary Protected Status.
- The Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status for Haitians in November 2025, prompting the Department of Homeland Security to issue 'call-in letters' to residents across Ohio requiring in-person check-ins.
- Residents faced a choice between wearing an ankle monitor or self-deportation with $2,600. Sony Prenice, a Haitian resident, chose the monitor, which restricts her to a 75-mile radius around her address.
- Approximately 550 protesters gathered outside the Blue Ash ICE office on Sunday, carrying signs reading 'Keep TPS,' 'Let Haitians Stay,' and 'Melt ICE.' Pastor Carl Ruby of Central Christian Church in Springfield prayed outside the entrance.
- Viles Dorsainvil, executive director of the Haitian Community Help and Support Center, called the treatment 'humiliating' and noted residents have 30 days to comply. Families face limited paths to legal residency as fear spreads across Ohio communities.
