Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced at a roundtable event in Cincinnati that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested 380 Haitian citizens in Springfield, Ohio. This is more than ten times the number estimated by a local representative two weeks ago, which was around 29 arrests out of an approximate 15,000 Haitians living in the city. The arrests come after roughly 350,000 Haitians lost their temporary protected status last month and are now considered illegally present in the US. Mullin also encouraged Haitians to return home and help rebuild their country during the roundtable discussion.
