Protestors hold signs outside of the St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Springfield, Ohio. They attended a Feb. 2, 2026 prayer and solidarity rally. It is in support of extending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. It was scheduled to end February 3 at 11:59 p.m., but a federal judge has stayed the expiration.
Temporary protected status was granted to Haitians after a massive earthquake in 2010 and renewed following the assassination of the president in 2021. As the Feb. 3 expiration of those protections loomed, a federal judge blocked the Trump administrations attempt to end TPS for Springfield's Haitian population.
