Haitians Booted From TPS Getting Ankle Monitors

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.
