The town of Springfield, Ohio, unexpectedly found itself in the national spotlight in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. At question was the town’s sizable community of Haitian migrants, which had grown mightily during former President Joe Biden’s administration.

And Springfield might soon be in the national spotlight once again because Temporary Protected Status for Haitians in the United States is set to end on Feb. 3.

Will these Haitians head home, or will it fall to the Trump administration to enforce the law and remove the migrants?

Springfield in the Spotlight

“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats,” President Donald Trump, then the GOP presidential nominee, said at the Sept. 10, 2024, presidential debate. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.”

Democrat nominee and former Vice President Kamala Harris, meanwhile, chuckled.

The president’s comments on the debate stage perhaps marked the zenith in the contrast between Trump and Harris on the issue of immigration.

The day before the debate, then-Republican nominee for vice president JD Vance posted on X, “Months ago, I raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio. Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country. Where is our border czar?”

While the story of Haitian immigrants eating pets and other animals remains controversial, what is not disputed is how the influx of Haitian migrants strained city resources.

Simon Hankinson, a senior fellow for the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, researched the issues in Springfield and went to see them with his own eyes.

Hankinson spoke to The Daily Signal about his findings.

While in Springfield, Hankinson visited a county services building. “There were a lot of people in line to sign on for welfare benefits. Every single one was Haitian,” he said.

This was unsurprising to Hankinson. Speaking in terms of “net fiscal effects,” Hankinson further explained that “if you look at unskilled workers who don’t speak English, who have dependents, they almost always are a net loss to the fisc. in the short term, [though] maybe their children or grandchildren will be contributors.”

“But in all the studies that I’ve seen show that, if you’re a 30-year-old rocket scientist with good health who speaks English, you’re going to be a net contributor of half a million dollars over your lifetime,” Hankinson added. “If you’re a 25-year-old or 50-year-old unskilled laborer, you don’t speak English, you have dependents, you’re going to be a net taker for probably the same amount of money.”

While Hankinson acknowledged that many Haitians may be employed and paying taxes, he also noted that “those taxes are in no way going to make up for the services, free medical care, housing, education, and on and on that they’re taking out of not only the Ohio budget, but also the government budget.”

“Now with refugees, that’s a price that the United States agrees to take,” Hankinson pointed out, also bringing up the Biden administration in how this amounted to bringing in 1.5 million people under a parole program, or TPS.

“None of those calculations are made,” Hankinson added, pointing out that “people… basically get a free ride.”

The Push to End TPS

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost was also among those sounding the alarm last year about immigration policies under Biden. In September 2024, Yost released a press release that his office was seeking legal avenues to stop the federal government, then under the Biden administration, “from sending an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities.”

“Springfield has swollen by more than a third due to migrants,” Yost said.

When reached for comment, Yost’s office directed The Daily Signal to a press release from last January, when the attorney general led 18 states in seeking a federal review of countries granted TPS status.

In his letter to then-Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security-Designee Kristi Noem, Yost emphasized the temporary nature of the TPS program: “Congress made these designations temporary for a reason – they were never supposed to last 20-plus years,” he said.

The Department of Homeland Security also emphasized the temporary nature of TPS in a statement shared with The Daily Signal.

“Haiti’s TPS was granted following an earthquake that took place over 15 years ago, it was never intended to be a de facto asylum program, yet that’s how previous administrations have used it for decades,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “The Trump administration is restoring integrity to our immigration system to keep our homeland and its people safe.”

Last November, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced TPS would be coming to an end on Feb. 3.

“If you are an alien who is currently a beneficiary of TPS for Haiti, you should prepare to depart if you have no other lawful basis for remaining in the United States,” the release said.

Haitians were advised to use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Home Mobile app to self-deport, which includes a $1,000 bonus, complimentary airfare, and “potential future opportunities for legal immigration to the United States.”

The deadline for Haitians comes after legal battles for Noem looking to end TPS for Haitians and other nationalities. Last October, the U.S. Supreme Court paused a lower court ruling, allowing the process of ending TPS to move forward. The Feb. 3 date was set by the courts.

Biden Created Big Problems

McLaughlin told The Daily Signal that the Biden administration policies had taken a bad problem and made it worse.

“For decades the TPS program has been abused, exploited, and politicized as a de facto amnesty program. Its use has been all the more dangerous given the millions of unvetted illegal aliens the Biden Administration let into this country,” McLaughlin claimed.

“Secretary Noem will use every legal option at the Department’s disposal to end this chaos and prioritize the safety of Americans,” McLaughlin added.

Hankinson claimed that “Biden brought in 1.5 million people, completely illegally, in my mind,” adding it was “with absolutely no congressional justification,” through these kinds of programs.

The presence of these illegal migrants changed lives in Ohio communities forever.

Hermanio Joseph, an immigrant from Haiti who crossed over illegally under Biden’s term, was driving with an invalid license in Lawrenceville, Ohio, on Aug. 22, 2024, which resulted in tragedy. Joseph struck a school bus full of children, killing Aiden Clark, 11, and injuring many more.

Will They Stay or Will They Go?

There’s an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 Haitians in Springfield, according to the Dayton Daily News, which also noted, “It’s unknown exactly how many people will be affected” by the TPS order.

With the TPS deadline nearing, however, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, has raised concerns about how the Haitians’ departure could impact business.

“As I talk to employers, I know what’s going to happen on that Feb. 3 day,” the governor said, according to a Dayton Daily News report. “That is employers tell me on that date many of these—maybe most—of the Haitians who are working there will no longer be legal. Once they go from legal, which they are now, to not being legal, they cannot employ them.”

“You’re going to have a lot of unfilled jobs,” DeWine continued.

But DeWine could not say just how many Haitian migrants lived in his state for sure: “You’re going to have, whatever the consequences are of 10,000—or who knows how many, no one knows really—people who are no longer being able to be employed.”

“They want to work. Many of them are raising families. Some of them have children who are citizens. So, yeah, this is not a good situation,” DeWine added.

“When you talk to business men and women who are employing them, what they tell me has not changed. It continues to be, ‘we need them to work. They are reliable. Yes, there are language challenges. Yes, there are cultural challenges. But they show up,'” DeWine said, according to the Statehouse News Bureau.

When reached for comment by The Daily Signal, the governor’s office shared that it “does not have additional comments beyond the Governor’s previous statements.”

As for whether DHS and the governor have been in touch, McLaughlin communicated that “DHS responds to official correspondence through official channels.”

The Feb. 3 deadline is just days away. Will these estimated thousands of people leave, or stay put and remain in the country illegally in the shadows? What happens could be a test case for Ohio, and the country.

Every day, it seems anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement agitators perpetrate a new atrocity against innocent people, and Democrats demonizing ICE arguably bear some of the blame.

On Sunday, they effectively laid siege to the Home2 Suites by Hilton Hotel, smashing the windows and spraypainting anti-ICE slogans, leading both state police and federal agents to respond.

On Tuesday, Virginia Commonwealth University Health announced that it fired a nurse after she released social media videos urging medical providers to use a “sabotage tactic” against ICE, preparing syringes with saline or succinylcholine, a muscle relaxant that can cause temporary partial paralysis.

In arguably the most infuriating example, agitators invaded Cities Church in St. Paul, in the middle of a service, and effectively shut it down. They reportedly screamed in the faces of crying children, prevented parents from getting to their children, and stopped terrified parishioners from leaving. They justified this by noting that one of the pastors works for ICE.

The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both 37, at the hands of immigration enforcement have contributed to the climate of hostility against ICE, but those incidents arguably do not explain this extreme hatred.

What leads people to think it’s acceptable to target ICE so much that they’re willing to harass innocents?

Seven extreme statements from Democrat officials might provide an answer.

1. Tim Walz

“[President] Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets,” Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., said in a commencement ceremony at the University of Minnesota in May 2025. The Gestapo was the secret state police in Nazi Germany that helped carry out the Holocaust that killed an estimated 6 million Jews, and others.

Walz more recently threatened to deploy his state’s National Guard to oppose ICE, and suggested President Trump had launched a “war” against his state.

2. JB Pritzker

Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., also suggested that federal agents enforcing immigration law was akin to the oppression of Nazi Germany.

“How do you prove to somebody that you’re a U.S. citizen? The color of your skin? That’s not the country we live in,” he said. “You shouldn’t have to walk around with papers, the way that they did in the early days of Nazi Germany, to prove that you belong.”

Pritzker stood by the comparison on Tuesday in an appearance on the “I’ve Had It” podcast.

“Maybe you heard about a year ago, I think it got a lot of national play when I talked about defending Illinois and the fact that we’re living in a world that looks a whole lot like the early 30s in Germany,” he said. “People on the Right attacked me and said, ‘How dare you!'”

Now, he said, “A lot more people … among Democrats are saying yeah this feels a lot like Germany in the 1930s.” He repeatedly compared Trump to Hitler throughout the podcast episode.

3. Ilhan Omar

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called ICE an “occupying force.”

When U.S. Border Patrol agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, Omar described the incident as “an execution by immigration enforcement.” She said ICE and Border Patrol are “terrorizing our communities, violating rights, and taking lives with zero accountability.” She accused Trump of turning the state into a “war zone where unchecked federal forces murder our neighbors.”

While Pretti’s death remains under investigation and the Border Patrol agents involved have been placed on leave, Omar’s rhetoric demonizes ICE beyond what the facts suggest.

4. Jason Crow

Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., wouldn’t rebut Pritzker’s Trump-Hitler comparison.

When CNN’s Kasie Hunt asked Crow about Pritzker’s claim, he said, “This president is in chapter one of the autocrat‘s playbook. There‘s no doubt in my mind.”

5. Jim McGovern

“Trump is using ICE like a secret police force,” Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., wrote on X. “They’ve used Gestapo-like tactics to terrorize communities for nearly a year, and now they’re literally killing people.”

6. Gavin Newsom

California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, compared America under Trump to foreign dictators before signing a law prohibiting ICE from wearing masks while carrying out raids in the Golden State. (ICE has started wearing masks in response to record threats and attacks against federal agents.)

“This is about the secret police,” Newsom said in a September press conference. “We’re not North Korea Mr. President, we’re not the Soviet Union, we’re the United States of America, and we’re pushing back against these authoritarian tendencies and actions of this administration.”

7. Mark Warner

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., compared ICE to the secret police of Venezuela under Nicolas Maduro.

“This relates to Venezuela in the sense that sort of authoritarian, fascist state is what was existing,” he said.

These Democrats haven’t attacked a hotel, urged nurses to paralyze ICE agents, or invaded a church, but their hyperbolic condemnations of immigration enforcement arguably contributed to the climate of hatred that gives agitators permission to harass innocents in the name of fighting Nazis.

If ICE is the modern-day Gestapo, their reasoning goes, that justifies an aggressive response—even if that means harassing innocent people.

ICE Storm | The Roundtable Ep. 302

Close on the heels of Renée Good’s death, Minneapolis protestor Alex Pretti was killed in another altercation with ICE agents. Investigation into both incidents will hopefully make judgment easier in the court of law, but in the court of public opinion the situation looks grim. Losing ground on the media battlefield and in polls ahead of the midterms, Trump must consider the extent and nature of his mandate on immigration. This week, the guys take a hard look at the electoral reality and discuss what it means for the Right’s policy agenda. Plus: regulatory bloat (aka Hegel’s revenge) makes it hard to translate political will into meaningful action in the UK, while inclement weather and exploding trees (!) make for an eventful week in the U.S.

The current obstruction and violence against federal agents trying to expel illegal aliens—committed by far-left activists and encouraged by left-wing politicians—is unacceptable.

In June 2025, in Los Angeles, agents carrying out due process against illegal aliens were assaulted. Mayor Karen Bass blamed federal enforcement for her city’s lawless protests, only ordering a curfew when dozens of businesses were looted.

In September, Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, arresting many criminal illegal aliens in the face of violent protests with no support from Mayor Brandon Johnson or Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.

Last October, a brawl occurred outside a Portland, Oregon, ICE facility between Antifa and conservative activists. In Portland, officers shot two alleged members of Venezuela’s deadly Tren de Aragua gang who had attempted to run them over.

And we all know what happened in Minneapolis between an ICE agent and slain activist Renee Good on Jan. 18. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz responded with a mix of falsehood and hyperbole. He ignored the fact that the ICE agents were there to arrest illegal immigrants—usually highly dangerous recidivist criminals—pursuant to U.S. law.

Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Frey dialed up the rhetoric, encouraged protests, and supplied no effective state and city law enforcement assistance to the Department of Homeland Security. The ingredients were there for another senseless death, and a week later, ICE agents shot Alex Pretti in another confused melee between protesters and federal agents.

President Donald Trump has options.

Title 10 of the U.S. Code allows him to deploy federal troops in instances of “a rebellion or danger of a rebellion” against the U.S. government to protect federal agents and property.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows him to deploy troops to “enforce the laws” of the United States or to “suppress rebellion” whenever “unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion” make it “impracticable” to enforce federal law in a state.

Immigration enforcement is a federal duty. The Constitution’s supremacy clause means that federal law overrides state law. No governor or mayor, no matter how left-wing their own policies, can refuse to allow federal agents to do their duty.

Private citizens who impede federal agents (or local police) from doing their jobs are committing a felony. Noncitizens who do so carry the risk not only of criminal charges, but also of deportation resulting from a conviction.

The Trump administration must show that they will not be intimidated by mobs, nor threatened by grandstanding local politicians.

But once that point is made, DHS and ICE need to change gears to avoid falling into the obvious PR trap that’s been set for them. For ICE, arresting dangerous felons in tough neighborhoods in cities run by left-wing mayors is a triple threat.

First, agents must worry about the aliens themselves, who may be armed and dangerous.

Second, they have to watch out for activist mobs impeding their vehicles, throwing things, assaulting officers and possibly worse.

Third, they must travel in large numbers, knowing that local police are forbidden from, unwilling, or incapable of protecting them or coming to their aid.

That means every operation is expensive, labor-intensive and high-risk. Everything is being filmed, from every angle. Every move by every officer is scrutinized by millions of armchair social-justice warriors, all now suddenly experts on forensics and tactics.

Trump’s base will support tough tactics, while the Left will oppose any enforcement. Moderate and swing voters will be turned off by the inevitable injuries and deaths.

If they watch or read legacy media, events will always be spun so that law enforcement looks bad, whatever the facts. And though his officials will rally round their agents, they will inevitably—and may already have—make mistakes in the heat of action.

So, what can ICE do differently in 2026?

More workplace enforcement and targeted arrests in unpredictable locations and times.

To help them, technology has advanced considerably since Trump’s first term, and AI is a force multiplier for routine investigations. ICE is spending “more than $300 million … for social-media monitoring tools, facial recognition software, license plate readers and services to find where people live and work,” according to Politico.

In using identification and surveillance technology, DHS faces opposition from not only open-border activists, but also conservatives with privacy concerns. But it’s a fight worth having.

Facial recognition and social media-combing technology can be calibrated to tag only noncitizens in the DHS database.

ICE is also investing millions in so-called skip tracing technology, which can more easily identify illegal aliens while leaving American citizens alone.

U.S. consulates overseas are using AI to screen the social media of visa applicants, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced a “new vetting center [that] will focus on powerful screening resources.” ICE should be able to access all that information, as well as that of other federal agencies, like the Social Security Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Citizens’ data is protected by privacy laws, but noncitizens, particularly those here illegally, have no right to expect that one part of the government will keep information from another.

Trump needs to “go big” to show the likes of Walz and Frey how the Constitution works. Then DHS should go about the business of mass deportation with more deliberation and subtlety—for the long haul.

Americans need to see law enforcement normalized once again.
