ICE Terrorizing Haitians — & Deporting Them Back to a Crisis the US Created

350,000 Haitians just lost TPS status — and the “choice” ICE is giving them is an ankle monitor or a one-way flight back to a country the US State Department warns isn’t safe to travel to. Kerbie Joseph with Caribbean Defense joins Zoe Alexandra and Rania Khalek BT to break down what’s really happening on the ground in Springfield, Ohio – the same community Trump and JD Vance smeared with lies about “eating pets” in 2024 – where residents are coming home from what they thought were routine ICE check-ins shackled with GPS ankle monitors: “We’re talking about incarceration.”

Kerbie unpacks how Haiti isn’t unsafe because of some inherent chaos — it’s because of over a century of US and French intervention, from occupation to crushing debt to the destabilizing “security missions” of today. Meanwhile ICE just posted its biggest arrest month ever, and the profits are rolling in. Joseph lays out what Haitians are doing to fight back, and why this is a US worker struggle: Haitian TPS holders are co-workers, nurses, caregivers — and their fight for dignity and permanent status affects all of us.

ICE’s “choice” for 350,000 Haitians: strap on an ankle monitor and ask permission to leave your zip code — or take $2,600 and a flight back to a country the US State Dept itself calls unsafe.

This is happening right now in Ohio.
