SPRINGFIELD, Ohio \u2014 You can tell the last two years have drained Vil\u00e8s Dorsainvil. The executive director of the Haitian Community Support Center in Springfield, Ohio, has fielded everything from false claims accusing his community of eating pets; Haitian residents facing unemployment then housing and food insecurity; interview upon interview as the government and courts sparred over their legal status. And through it all, he projected a calm and collected image.<\/p>

It became clear Thursday morning that the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling on temporary protected status, granted to immigrants from countries facing natural disaster, political violence and other extraordinary circumstances, for Haitians and Syrians was the final act that broke him.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday was the saddest day since I\u2019ve been here because, as a foreigner in this land, I expected what I knew about the U.S.,\u201d he said during a virtual press conference that morning. \u201cI used to know a USA, where human dignity was valued \u2014 justice was valued \u2014 but it\u2019s no longer this.\u201d<\/p>\n

In one of the last decision days of the season, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the Department of Homeland Security in Mullin v. Doe, allowing the cancellation of TPS for Haitian and Syrian recipients to take effect. In mere moments, hundreds of thousands of immigrants across the country became undocumented, and fears of what would happen to them and their mixed-citizenship families mounted.<\/p>\n

Dorsainvil appeared to be in shock while sitting solemnly beside Pastor Carl Ruby, a leader of local advocacy coalition Springfield G92, in the sanctuary of Central Christian Church. He hung his head from slumped shoulders, his arms crossed over his stomach and his stare far away.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing from a country where it is not safe, and there will be some family separation, I expected the Supreme Court to take those into consideration and do a better ruling, but unfortunately, this is not the case,\u201d Dorsainvil said.<\/p>\n

In Springfield, the small, post-industrial city 40 miles west of the state capital that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance cast into the spotlight in 2024, chaos set in quickly among its roughly 15,000 TPS holders. But as the sun began to set on an impromptu vigil in the courtyard of Springfield City Hall, Haitian Springfielders and their neighbors made clear they weren\u2019t willing to give up so easily.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a strong commitment in Springfield for the faith community to stand with Haitians who are at risk of deportation,\u201d Ruby said during the morning news conference, explaining that the coalition\u2019s name comes from the 92 times the Hebrew word \u201cger,\u201d meaning foreigner, is mentioned in the Bible\u2019s Old Testament. \u201cWe\u2019ve had to think about the issue of providing sanctuary. When there\u2019s a conflict between man\u2019s laws and God\u2019s laws, we have an obligation to side with God\u2019s laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI used to know a USA, where human dignity was valued \u2014 justice was valued \u2014 but it\u2019s no longer this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Organizations representing Haitian TPS holders sued DHS in March 2025 when then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem first attempted to terminate TPS. Over the last year, federal courts undid Noem\u2019s partial vacation of the legal status, which sought to revoke the Biden administration\u2019s February 2026 extension and force recipients to return to Haiti in August 2025, and blocked the government from ending the program. The Trump administration appealed the case to the Supreme Court in March, asking the justices to consider whether the statute governing TPS prevents courts from reviewing the department secretary\u2019s designation of status.<\/p>\n

According to the court\u2019s six conservative justices, the answer is yes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe TPS statute plainly bars consideration of respondents\u2019 non-constitutional claims,\u201d Justice Samuel Alito . \u201cIt allows \u2018no judicial review of any determination \u2026 with respect to the \u2026 termination of a TPS designation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Syrian and Haitian TPS holders are not entitled to orders postponing the termination of their designations during litigation. Nor did the Haitian respondents provide sufficient evidence that the contentious statements Trump and Noem made demonstrate that racial animus motivated the termination of Haitians\u2019 TPS, the court held. In his concurrence, Justice Clarence Thomas even claimed that \u201caliens\u201d did not have federal protections under the 14th Amendment\u2019s equal protection clause.<\/p>\n

The ruling was sweeping in its scope and doubly crushing after counsel for the Haitian respondents last week asked the court to dismiss the case due to newly discovered evidence they believed would support their equal protection claim.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new rule from the Supreme Court is that when it comes to TPS decisions, the administration \u2014 any executive branch agency \u2014 can break the law flagrantly, openly and make no secret of it, and the federal courts can\u2019t stop it,\u201d Geoff Pipoly, lead attorney for the Haitian respondents, said during the press conference.<\/p>\n

Pipoly said he and his legal team were still reviewing the opinion and planned to evaluate what\u2019s left of the claims to see if any legal recourse remains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s decision means that many, many people are going to die violent, needless deaths,\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite what the Trump administration has said and the Supreme Court ruled, the situation in Haiti is still dire, and TPS holders know that, a small group of Haitian and Haitian-American attendees told Salon Thursday during an evening vigil in Springfield\u2019s city center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s decision means that many, many people are going to die violent, needless deaths \u2026That\u2019s the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Marc Joseph, who provides immigration and legal services through Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio and has only resided in Springfield for two to three years, recalled the horrors he and his family faced living in Haiti. In 2019, he and his wife witnessed gangsters kill her little brother and ran for their lives lest their children be orphaned. In 2021, his older brother was shot and killed outside an immigration building in Haiti. Later, his aunt and two of his cousins were killed as gangs fought over territory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really understand why this decision come up because where are we going to send 300,000 Haitians?\u201d Joseph, who is a U.S. citizen, said. \u201cThis situation in Haiti is still a reality.\u201d<\/p>

Laura, a Haitian Creole interpreter who asked Salon to only use her first name, said that she witnessed the sheer terror that came over Haitian TPS recipients as she and her mother broke the news of the decision throughout the day; she described a mother whose heart dropped as the disbelief gave way to a choking fear of what would happen to her American-born children.<\/p>\n

Attendees of a vigil in Springfield City Hall hold hands while singing songs in support of their neighbors.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThis woman clung to her baby, and said, \u2018I just had this baby. I\u2019m still bleeding from my cesarean, and to say they will start deportation, will they rip my child away?\u2019\u201d Margery Koveleski, a freelance interpreter, told Salon. \u201cShe said, \u2018I literally would commit suicide if they take me into detention and they take my child away.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Koveleski, Laura, Joseph and Mia Perez, event speaker and founder of immigrant advocacy organization Voices of Immigrants, all said they felt called to attend the event because they knew many of their community members could not.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of organizers, supporters and residents convened in the stone courtyard of City Hall around 6 p.m. They held signs reading \u201cLove your neighbor as yourself,\u201d cheered as local clergy-turned-activists spoke out against the ruling and joined the World House Choir in protest song. \u201cEveryone of these people are ours\u201d rang out in harmony against a light summer breeze as organizers passed around cards for attendees to fill out, urging the state\u2019s two Republican Senators, Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted, to vote for SB 4814, which would designate TPS for Haitians through the end of Trump\u2019s term.<\/p>\n

A teacher in Springfield City, who declined to share their name out of concern for potential repercussions, told Salon they came to the vigil to show support for all the people affected by the ruling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI work with a lot of Haitian students, and their safety and well-being is very important to me, as well as the safety and well-being of the people in this community,\u201d they said, holding a handmade sign that read \u201cProtect Our Haitian Neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just is very disheartening seeing the distress on my students\u2019 faces when they come into school, and knowing what they are dealing with at home, which is then reflected in the school day,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came out here because no one\u2019s illegal on stolen land, and because our community is incredibly important,\u201d Aspen Forest, a 26-year-old community organizer, told Salon. Though Forest had only just learned of the turmoil in Springfield, they were eager to help, scouting out the donation links posted on a board by the makeshift stage and bouncing ideas of how to coordinate pop-up food drives and donations at the soup kitchen they work with in Dayton to benefit the anticipated need in Springfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cHumanity as a whole, we are one big community,\u201d Forest said. \u201cWe have so many greater powers that want to turn us against each other, so that we lose sight of what power we do have, and that is to take care of each other on the very ground-level of community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cynthia Lennon, a resident of nearby Xenia, Ohio, told Salon her faith brought her to the vigil. She wore a bright turquoise shirt that referenced Bible scripture from Leviticus 19:33-34, which commands followers to love the foreigner as they love themselves.<\/p>\n

As speakers took the mic and sang \u201cAmerica the Beautiful,\u201d Lennon, a child of Irish and Scottish immigrants, dismissed herself briefly to sing along. She let out an off-key warble, turning to face the small group of anti-immigrant protesters waving weathered American flags and taunting the crowd as she projected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to be a part of that because that\u2019s important,\u201d she said before listing off Springfield\u2019s inevitable losses and her fears as a result of the ruling. \u201cI\u2019m scared that we\u2019re going to have a Minneapolis again \u2026 That people of color might just be generally targeted.\u201d Still, she said she has plans to donate and volunteer with local organizations.<\/p>\n

Throughout the hour-and-a-half-long vigil, Dorsainvil projected his usual image of strength to the audience, speaking first to his fellow Haitians, then to their legal team, and then his fellow Springfielders as well as Americans across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour compassion has reminded us of the very best of America,\u201d he said. \u201cYou have welcomed your neighbors, spoken out against injustice, defended vulnerable families and refused to let hate and division have the final word. [Your] friendship and your courage have given hope to many people during one of the most difficult chapters of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo every immigrant family who is anxious tonight, there are people across this nation who believe in you, who stayed with you, and who will continue advocating for your rights and your dignity,\u201d Dorsainvil added.<\/p>\n

After the vigil had ended, when the crowd had cleared and the lingering press packed up their equipment, his brave face seemed to fall again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know,\u201d Dorsainvil said softly, his head hanging and gaze distant, when asked what was next for him. He was worried about how the termination of his TPS would affect his pursuit of a master\u2019s degree at Wright State University. \u201cI might be considered an out-of-state resident, [which would] make my courses more expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n

He would later reflect on what it meant for him to be the national spokesperson of Haitian Springfield for the better part of two years \u2014 and the toll it took as he\u2019s sorted out a pending asylum application and concerns for his family members behind the scenes. The community needed someone to do it, he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, everyone has some type of conscience that would help them take the best decision because we were created with God\u2019s value in us. Even though we know that the world is evil, we know for sure that everyone has God\u2019s value that would guide them to know what to do,\u201d Dorsainvil added. \u201cIf they go against it, it\u2019s because of their free will. But many Americans know exactly what to do, and what they should do is to continue to support minority groups, marginalized people. Show up for them, speak on their behalf. That will make a lot of difference.\u201d<\/p>
