ICE Targets 300,000 Haitians as TPS Expires Under Supreme Court-Backed Deadline

Summary
More than 300,000 Haitians are set to lose Temporary Protected Status on Monday, triggering what the report describes as the largest TPS expiration since the Trump administration began its immigration crackdown.
ICE is planning to ramp up operations against Haitian TPS holders once protections lapse, though a source said those plans could still shift if further court rulings intervene.
The enforcement push follows a Supreme Court ruling last month that let the administration end TPS for Haiti and Syria while temporary lower-court delays kept the protections in place until July 27.
Florida and Springfield, Ohio — both home to large Haitian communities — could feel the earliest impact, while thousands of Syrians also lose protections and more TPS deadlines may arrive later this week.
DHS has paired the looming enforcement with pressure to leave voluntarily, saying expiring TPS holders have a final chance to take $2,600 and a free flight home.
