Columbus, OH, August 14, 2026 —
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued new reporting requirements for Haitian residents in Springfield, Ohio. These individuals are now mandated to report to ICE offices located in Blue Ash, near Cincinnati, or Westerville, near Columbus.
As part of these requirements, affected residents must surrender their passports and wear ankle monitors. This development comes in the wake of the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals.
Reports suggest that this focused enforcement is currently concentrated on Springfield. Haitian residents in other areas of Ohio are not presently subject to these specific directives from ICE.
The exact number of individuals affected by these new reporting requirements and the specific timeline for compliance were not immediately available.
