Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) defended Haitians under temporary protected status (TPS) who reside in his state, three days after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from revoking such status from hundreds of thousands of migrants from the Caribbean country. “If they lose temporary protected status and they no longer can work and the companies can’t employ them, that’s a blow to the economy, that’s a blow to the state,” DeWine told host Dana Bash Thursday on CNN’s “Inside Politics.”
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes implemented a stay on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s order halting TPS for Haitians in the U.S., which was scheduled to go into effect Tuesday. The order is on hold pending the result of a lawsuit five Haitian TPS holders filed against the Trump administration last July.
Noem announced in November that TPS status for Haitians would expire this month, after an initial order last summer was delayed due to the lawsuit.
In a scathing 83-page memorandum opinion, Reyes wrote that the Homeland Security secretary did not consult with appropriate agencies before issuing the order — as required by federal law — and it seems “substantially likely” she “preordained her termination decision and did so because of hostility to nonwhite immigrants.”
