ICE begins outfitting Haitian immigrants with ankle monitors, attorneys say

In a June 25 ruling, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to end deportation protections for Haitian and Syrian nationals under the Temporary Protected Status program. In recent days, the Department of Homeland Security has appeared to move toward removing “Haitian immigrants in Ohio” by summoning them to check-in appointments, where they are “outfitt[ed] with ankle monitors.” Attorneys for those Haitians told The Washington Post that they’ve been “instructed not to travel anywhere outside a 75-mile radius from their homes.” “Many of the Haitians outfitted with ankle monitors in recent days have ongoing asylum claims and no final order of deportation, their attorneys said.” Attorneys also said that “officers encouraged the immigrants to leave voluntarily and noted the $2,600 financial incentive DHS is offering those who choose to self-deport.”
