It is not enough to spread lies. Trump promises to deport Haitians who are here legally. – The moderate voice

In the “you can’t make this up” category, Donald Trump told NewsNation today that the Haitians living in Springfield “must be removed.”

Trump said he would “revoke” their current legal status, “and I would return them to their country.” To do that, he would have to revoke the status of all 200,005 Haitian nationals here under the 34-year-old Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.

Trump also told NewsNation that “he would empower local law enforcement to carry out what he calls the largest deportation in American history and possibly deploy military forces to combat drug cartels.”

In a lawsuit filed in Clark County Municipal Court in Ohio, the Haitian Bridge Alliance charged that Trump and JD Vance have spread “relentless lies” about Haitians living in Springfield, Ohio.

Vance effectively admitted to lying last month about Haitians eating Springfield residents’ pets. Vance said he would “create stories” (in other words, make things up or lie) to draw media attention to issues.

Haitians are legally in the United States under the TPS program, with a possible expiration date of February 3, 2026.

Congress created TPS in 1990, giving the executive branch the authority to designate countries experiencing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or extraordinary and temporary circumstances that prevented the return of nationals.

Newsweek posted these excerpts from the lawsuit.

“Trump and Vance have knowingly spread a false and dangerous narrative by claiming that the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, is criminally killing and eating neighbors’ dogs and cats and killing and eating geese…

“They accused the Haitians of Springfield of carrying deadly diseases. They repeated such lies during the presidential debate, at campaign rallies, during interviews on national television and on social media. The direct impact on Springfield, Ohio of Trump and Vance’s relentless lies cannot be overstated…

“Over the past two weeks, Springfield has received 33 bomb threats. Many public institutions have been forced to evacuate and vital local resources have been mobilized to investigate the barrage of threats to the community. As described in the attached recorded affidavit, the Haitian Bridge Alliance is seeking arrest warrants for Trump and Vance for disrupting public services.”

The Secretary of Homeland Security has discretionary authority to decide when a country deserves a TPS designation. The Secretary must consult with other government agencies before deciding to designate a country (or portion of a country) for TPS. Although these other bodies are not specified in the statutes, these consultations usually involve the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Security Council and sometimes the Ministry of Justice. The Minister’s decision whether or not to designate a country for TPS is not subject to judicial review under immigration law.

Residents of these countries are currently eligible for TPS:

  1. Afghanistan
  2. Burma (Myanmar)
  3. Cameroon
  4. El Salvador
  5. Ethiopia
  6. Haiti
  7. Honduras
  8. Nepal
  9. Nicaragua
  10. Somalia
  11. South Sudan
  12. Sudan
  13. Syria
  14. Ukraine
  15. Venezuela
  16. Yemen
