美国俄亥俄州斯普林菲尔德小镇过去五年内迎来约2万名海地移民，他们曾通过临时保护身份（TPS）合法工作生活1。特朗普政府宣布终止约35万名海地人的TPS身份，导致他们从合法移民身份转变为无证移民1。超过100万来自13个国家的移民也被特朗普政府终止了TPS1。最高法院在夏季作出裁定，支持特朗普政府的这一决定1。
这一政策变化在斯普林菲尔德引发严重社会后果。2024年抵达的移民皮埃尔·达玛斯·贝尔在被要求佩戴脚踝监控器后，于8月31日在该镇附近高速公路自杀身亡1。国土安全部在8月发布的视频显示，被驱逐的海地移民被穿上白制服、戴上枷锁并登上驱逐飞机，随后被告知"立即离开"1。美国国务院已将海地列为最高等级"不要前往"警告地区1。
该镇曾于2023年经历一起悲剧——11岁男孩艾登·克拉克在与海地人驾驶的小货车碰撞中身亡1。其父后来谴责政客利用其死亡作为"政治工具"1。国土安全部部长发言人为这一政策变化辩护，表示"在TPS中的T代表临时"，并称法院裁决是"法治和常识的胜利"1。
Springfield, Ohio has undergone a dramatic demographic transformation over the past five years, with approximately 20,000 Haitian migrants arriving in the small town 1. These newcomers had been living and working legally under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a program designed to shield foreign nationals from countries facing humanitarian crises 1. However, the Trump administration's decision to terminate TPS for roughly 350,000 Haitian nationals has upended their lives, converting legal residents into undocumented immigrants facing potential mass deportation 1. The policy shift extends beyond Haiti, with over one million migrants from thirteen nations losing TPS protection 1.
The consequences for Springfield have been severe and multifaceted. In August, the Department of Homeland Security released video footage depicting Haitian migrants in white uniforms being shackled as they boarded deportation flights, with officials informing them to leave immediately 1. The Supreme Court ruled in the summer to uphold the Trump administration's termination of Haitian TPS 1, with a DHS spokesperson stating that the "T in TPS stands for temporary" and framing the court decision as "a victory for the rule of law and common sense" 1. The town has also become a flashpoint for polarized responses to immigration, with the death of 11-year-old Aiden Clark in 2023 following a collision with a vehicle driven by a Haitian individual becoming weaponized in political discourse; Clark's father later condemned politicians for using his son's death as a "political tool" 1. The case of Pierre Damas Bel exemplifies the human toll: the migrant who arrived in 2024 was ordered to wear an ankle monitor in 2025 and died by suicide on August 31 on a highway near Springfield 1.
