Trump Administration Accelerates Mass Deportation of Haitians After Ending Protected Status

HeadlineSep 18, 2026

The Trump administration continues deportations to Haiti with a fourth flight arriving at the international airport in Cap-Haïtien last week. This comes as a new report published by the Ohio Immigrant Alliance says the detention of Haitians has surged by 142% at four immigration jails in Ohio since the end of temporary protected status, or TPS, in late July. The group says ICE has accelerated the arrests of Haitians living in Ohio by racially profiling community spaces, including near schools and apartment buildings, detaining people at their ICE appointments and placing ankle monitors, and collaborating with state and local police.
