In late July, Haitian immigrants began recieving summons letters, requesting they appear at the Cincinnati Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Blue Ash, Ohio. This Sunday, many Haitian immigrants were seen leaving the offices with ankle monitors.
On July 27, a deadline came for immigrants from Haiti — the end of their Temporary Protected Status, a designation given to foreign nationals in the United States who face conditions that would make it unsafe to return to their country of origin.
