Trump Says He Would Deport Haitian Immigrants in Springfield, Ohio

Temporary protected status was granted to Haitian immigrants in 2010 after a major earthquake in the country and has since been extended multiple times.

Former President Donald Trump said in a new interview that he would revoke the legal status of Haitian immigrants living in Springfield, Ohio, and work to deport them back to their native country.

“It has nothing to do with Haiti or anything else. It doesn’t work. You have to remove the people, and you have to bring them back to their own country,” Trump told NewsNation on Oct. 2.
