It’s official: Donald Trump’s plan for massive deportations would apply to legal immigrants, as well as undocumented immigrants.
During an exclusive interview with NewsNation, Trump said he planned to strip the legal status of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, who have been granted Temporary Protected Status.
“Springfield is such a beautiful place; have you seen what’s happened to it? It’s been overrun. They have to be removed,” Trump said.
“So you would revoke the Temporary Protected Status?” asked the interviewer.
“Absolutely, I’d revoke it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.

So he’s gonna send his wife back? Sounds about right since she said she supports abortion.
The headline makes this sound more encompassing than what he says. Revoking temporary legal status is different than revoking from people with green cards or naturalized citizens. I don’t agree with what he’s saying he will do, but it’s worth clarifying which group of people this actually effects.
It’s all stepping stones for them. That’s why they say everything they don’t like is a slippery slope, because that’s how they work.
Fascism always needs a new enemy each time it has dealt with the last one. That’s why no one is safe from these neo-Nazis.
Is it worth? He didn’t care for what status or protection this specific group had. It’s not like he’s making an argument for that type of asylum. If it’s mexican greencard holders he thinks are eating the dogs, they’ll be next.
The headline is accurate, he wants to deport people who are in the US lawfully.
Her anchor baby, Barron, needs to go too.
Only when they divorce.
Can we send Elon back to South Africa? There’s some sketchy stuff he did with his student visa.
Let’s hope Elon goes first.
I remember my entire life up before this Haitian thing, Republicans would always say “we like legal immigrants, we want fewer illegal immigrants.” Even though they would actively try to reduce the number of new legal immigrants too. Now they’re full on supporting deporting the legal immigrants too.
You’d think that would be alarming for anyone whose parents weren’t born here, but it barely seems to register.
None of this is new, ICE was targeting US citizens under trump last time too

How many of trump’s supporters can say their ancestry dates to before the establishment of the United States? The irony is lost on these people.
They are who “First they came” was written about…
it was always a lie about ‘legal immigrants’. theyve spent 70 years making it practically impossible to become a legal immigrant. because racism.
Deport his wife and Elon.
So are native americans finally getting their land back? And will you all clean before you leave? :D
You know, this guy somehow sounds more and more like an actual Nazi every day. I’m starting to think he might have actual racist views and desires that will really fuck things up.
(/s since I always forget it’s not obvious, clearly a Nazi offspring has Nazi views)
As someone who’s regularly been to Springfield, oh over the last decade. It’s not a beautiful place, it hasnt been for a long time. Most of downtown had been hollowed out and turned into parking lots, other buildings are deep in disrepair, which is contributing reason why it’s not recovered as quickly as neighboring cities like Dayton, Urbana, and Xenia.
It’s a hard hit rust belt city, long dealing with addiction and other deaths of despair.

“Absolutely, I’d revoke it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.
During his first administration, Trump rescinded Temporary Protective Status orders for immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, Sudan, Nepal, and Honduras, placing hundreds of thousands of legal residents at risk for deportation.
Some of my people have been saying this for 500 years.
To be quite fair, if he’s elected again and my wife gets deported back to Japan, I get the sense I’ll also just be happier in Japan. Too bad he’s also a threat to the world, though— there’s a reason I’m not really hearing “if he’s elected, I’m moving away” stuff like the first time or back in the Bush years.
Keep in mind he likely means “round up into camps” when he says “deport”
…for “processing”.

Trump and the interviewer are talking about Temporary Protected Status, which is temporary.
A TPS designation can be made for 6, 12, or 18 months at a time. At least 60 days prior to the expiration of TPS, the Secretary [of Homeland Security] must decide whether to extend or terminate a designation based on the conditions in the foreign country.
TPS eligibility for people from Haiti will last until February 3, 2026 unless it is extended. If during a Trump presidency, the federal government does not extend TPS for Haiti, it would be acting well within its established authority.
Hmm, isn’t he suggesting that he would revoke their status? That is very different from ‘deciding not to extend it’.
The interviewer was the one who used the word “revoke” but Trump does seem like the kind of person who could attempt to end the TPS designation early rather than waiting for it to simply expire a year into his term. Such an attempt would have very little chance of success. Decisions to terminate (as opposed to revoke early) TPS status during Trump’s past presidency are still going through the courts (see Ramos, et al. v. Nielsen, et al.) and not in effect.
That isn’t what Trump means and you know it.
Revoking and not extending are two different things.
Man, I can’t believe 10 years of Trump and people are still doing this “sure, he said that, but he’s actually a brilliant legal and political tactician and what he means is…”
The man is a moron, surrounded by the most hateful motherfuckers on the planet. He says what he Fucking means.
When he says terrible shit he is saying what he means.
He also frequently says non-terrible shit, but then contradicts himself shortly after so we know that whe he says something that isn’t terrible then he is lying.
Then why didn’t he say
Absolutely, I’d NOT EXTEND it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.
??
Defo 2 very different things
The federal government uses the term “terminate” rather than “revoke” to describe the decision not to extend TPS, but even the article the OP posted (which is very critical of Trump’s plan) interprets what he said as “not extend”.
Now Trump plans to forcibly uproot this group of roughly 18,000 people who pay taxes, own homes, have jobs, and support their families. But that’s only the beginning: Up to 2.7 million people could lose protection from deportation if Trump allows immigration programs such as Temporary Protected Status, DACA, and humanitarian parole to lapse during a second term, according to Forbes.
But he’s not saying he’d not extend the TPS. He’s saying he’d revoke it (for Haitians (in Ohio)).
I imagine if someone tries to get him to say exactly what he meant by this, he’d just do his standard backpedal and hide in obscurity or accuse the reporter of being rude.
His inability to speak clearly and his frequent desire to be pointlessly cruel are both reasons I won’t vote for him, but I do think it’s important to note that he’s not proposing to deport permanent residents.
