Haitians in Ohio Describe Fear Under ICE

Haitian residents and activists in Springfield, Ohio, are walking roughly 45 miles to the Columbus statehouse to press for better rights for immigrants. The Guardian reports the group was 23 miles into the trek and that ICE activity has grown since Haitians lost temporary protected status after a July Supreme Court ruling. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said 380 people were detained by ICE in Springfield in September. The Guardian also reports more than two dozen people have been shot by ICE officers since February 2025. A federal judge threw out Sean Moorman's lawsuit against seven unnamed ICE officers on October 2. ICE is reviewing next steps and defends its enforcement actions. Conservatives want secure borders and clear rules, and every shooting deserves a full accounting.
