Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said on September 4 that immigration agents had arrested 380 people in Springfield, Ohio, according to Scripps News. The announcement came after Temporary Protected Status for Haiti ended. The available report describes 380 people arrested; it does not establish that every person in that total was Haitian, a narrower formulation than Stat Crux Report’s original X post.
Temporary Protected Status allows eligible nationals of designated countries to remain in the United States and obtain work authorization while unsafe conditions persist at home. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services says the Haiti designation terminated effective July 27, 2026.
Mullin said enforcement in Springfield would continue and argued that TPS was designed to be temporary. Scripps reported that city officials estimate at least 15,000 Haitian immigrants have moved to the Springfield region.
The 380 figure is an agency statement reported from Mullin’s Ohio appearance. No detailed public breakdown of the arrests was located in the reviewed sources. An immigration arrest does not by itself establish a criminal conviction or a final removal order.
