Ohio Governor Mike DeWine expressed concerns about the potential impact of deporting Haitian migrants on local job markets, emphasizing the consequences of their Temporary Protected Status (TPS) expiring.
• The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that TPS for many Haitian migrants will end in February 2026.
• This expiration will leave these individuals without legal status to remain in the U. S., prompting DHS to encourage self-deportation to avoid arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
• Governor DeWine, in a local media interview, stated that the deportation of Haitians, especially from Springfield where their population has increased significantly, will lead to unfilled jobs.
• DeWine noted that local employers rely on these migrants for labor and predicted economic setbacks for Springfield if they are deported.
• The growing Haitian population in Springfield has reportedly added strain on public resources, including schools, housing, and social services.
Governor DeWine's statements highlight the potential economic challenges Ohio might face if TPS for Haitian migrants ends and deportations begin. The discussion underlines the critical relationship between immigrant labor and local economies.
