While most Republicans, including those in his state, are cheering the Supreme Court decision allowing the Trump Administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Somalis, ruling generally that the program can be done away with as the executive branch deems appropriate, Ohio’s RINO Governor Mike DeWine appeared on CNN to freak out about the decision and declare that the Trump administration’s plan to deport Haitians was not in the United States’ interests.
As background, the town of Springfield, Ohio, made national news around the time of the 2024 presidential election because the massive number of Haitian migrants in the town were accused of various illegal behaviors, including supposedly eating the pets of residents, a claim that Trump repeated on the debate stage and the media insisted was false.
So, the matter of Haitian migrants took on immense national prominence and the Trump Administration has set about trying to remove them by ending TPS, which was granted after an earthquake in the 2000s, as has been given the green light by the Supreme Court. Such was the context of Dewine’s temper tantrum on the liberal media.
Raging to Tapper about the idea that the Haitian migrants whom his state’s residents want to be deported will be deported, the Ohio governor said, “It is not in the United States’ interest, certainly not in Ohio’s interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, who are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses, and then put deep roots in this country and really are contributing and yank them out.”
Continuing, the RINO pointed to another politician rather than the common people of Springfield to comment on the impact of Haitian migrants upon the state, saying, “I mean, look at what the mayor of Springfield says — the mayor says that is a huge, huge mistake. They’re contributing to Robert Rue as they’re contributing greatly.”
Still not done, he then said, “It’s a mistake to do that. I would cite also the two Ohio congressman, who have probably the most Haitians, Republicans who have the most Haitians in their district voted in favor of the extension, of TPS. So what I would hope that the Trump administration would do is reconsider this.”
Adding to that, the governor insisted that the welfare-reliant migrants must all be kept in the United States because a few of them have jobs, saying, “Look at how it’s going to impact states like Ohio. The Haitians are working primarily in manufacturing, also working in the food area.”

He added, “But if you look at where they’re working across the country, probably the most important area they’re working in is in health care. It’s Haitians who many times are taking care of your mom or your dad, who has Alzheimer’s, taking care of family members who might be in a nursing home and to say we’re going to pull all those out. It’s just not in our own self-interest.”
