It’s wild that the government can’t simply just boot foreigners, instead having to resort to measures like this to keep track of the aliens
Some Haitian immigrants in Ohio told to report to ICE and given ankle monitors
Hundreds of Haitian immigrants in Ohio who had Temporary Protected Status have been summoned by the Department of Homeland Security for in-person “check-ins” with the agency, where some have been fitted with ankle monitors, immigration advocates tell ABC News.
The move from the government comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that the Trump administration could end TPS for about 350,000 Haitians, as part of the administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown.
Steve Foster, the immigration policy coordinator for the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, said “Haitians with TPS, regardless of whether they have a pending asylum claim, have gotten a ‘DHS Call-In Letter’ to appear at ICE offices in person.”
Some have been given ankle monitors and future court dates, Foster said.
Viles Dorsainvil, executive director of a Haitian support group in Springfield, Ohio, confirmed the government’s effort to call Haitians in Ohio with TPS into ICE offices and fit some of them with ankle monitors.
This is to keep them from disappearing when they are told they will be repatriated to Haiti
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said, “Temporary Protected Status is exactly that — temporary. For too long, TPS has been allowed to function as a de facto amnesty program despite Congress never intending it to be permanent.”
“What we would say now is it’s closing time, which means you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here,” the statement said.
Of course, some are now playing games to try and get asylum, because the asylum system is completely broken.
“some” are given monitors.
Why are they not giving numbers? Is it because those numbers are so low as to be insignificant and meaningless? Trump’s most effective means of forcing migrants out is by crashing the economy
June job openings were 57000. 3.8 million graduated from high school 4 million million graduated from college. 86% of the June job opening were filled by women primarily in healthcare as the population gets older and sicker
If they have cases to make as to why they should be allowed to live in the United States, they can make those cases at our embassies or consulates.
One cannot apply for asylum except in the United States.
“You must be physically present in the United States or arrive at an official port of entry (such as an airport, land border, or sea port) to request and apply for U.S. asylum. You cannot apply from outside the country through a U.S. embassy or consulate.”

By all means, persuade your Repubicun federal government to change the stupid law. GOPhers control the Senate, House, Supreme Court and White House. Eazy peazy.
Or do what Mad King Donny has been doing and just round them all up and imprison/deport them. Shoot a few to let them know you’re serious!!
Under out Constitution “cases’ are adjudicated in courts immigration courts
We have signed treaties giving refugees right to asylum.
Again under our Constitution treaties are supreme over even Federal law.
“Haitians with TPS, regardless of whether they have a pending asylum claim, have gotten a ‘DHS Call-In Letter’ to appear at ICE offices in person.”
Have them gather in huuuge auditoria, confiscate their jewelry and gold and cyanide them!!! Grind their corpses for fertilizer. Win-win.
