Dozens of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, home to about 15,000 Haitian residents, received letters starting July 22, 2026, directing them to bring immigration documents to ICE appointments. On July 31 and August 2, roughly 50 were summoned to the Cincinnati ICE field office and offered a choice between accepting $2,600 to self-deport or wearing electronic ankle monitors; all declined the payment and were fitted with monitors, having no criminal record and previously holding legal status. Advocates say the tactic, which creates a 75-mile radius limiting travel for court appearances 188 miles away in Cleveland, has not been seen in other large Haitian communities like Boston, Chicago or Miami. The move follows the Supreme Court's June 2026 ruling allowing the administration to end TPS for up to 350,000 Haitians, with the case now before a Washington, D.C. district court examining whether the decision was motivated by racial animus.
