Haitians benefiting from the Temporary Protection Status (TPS) in Springfield, Ohio, are summoned by the ECI for migration controls. According to community defenders, some who responded to these summonses were reportedly placed under electronic surveillance with ankle bracelets, according to an article by Miami Herald, published this Friday, July 31.
Migrant aid organisations denounce a worrying situation after the decision to allow the end of the GST for Haitians. They fear an intensification of migration operations, while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recalls that the programme remains temporary and controls continue.
The Haitian community in Springfield fears the consequences of a possible return to Haiti, due to the security and economic crisis in the country.
