The Ethnic Cleansing of Springfield Ohio

[Res Ipsa]

Timothy Snyder wrote a remarkable article about how JD Vance and a Neo Nazi group manufactured a malicious smear against a community of Haitians in Springfield Ohio. https://open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/ ... New Testament=overlay Our racist President worked it into his presidential debate: There eating the dogs! They’re eating the cats!

The Haitians were here legally under the TPS program. I say “were” because the Regime needed more bodies to deport and decided that ending TPS was a good way to create them.

So, beginning this week, DHS will eth(n)ically cleanse Springfield of its Haitian blight.

Maybe they should cleanse the country by removing the blight in the White House. But that's the job of the voting public.

Are you sure the cleansing will be ethical?

I am not.

The termination of TPS status was stayed by a U.S. District Judge Monday night. I haven’t read the whole opinion, but it is deservedly harsh on Noem.

According to my google search, they’ve been in-country for 15+ years? Wouldn’t that be enough time for any rational country to determine if the immigrants have assimilated? From an additional search I see that their crime rates are much lower than the surrounding community, so basically a low-risk population. I guess it boils down to they look different, so MAGAs want them out.

Disagree. I think they're filling quotas. They're not conducting surgical strikes. They're in the business of carpet bombing any quantity of folk they can claim in their stats. They do so on behalf of their Dear Leader who is trying to get over on Obama and Biden's deportation totals. It's part of his revenge tour.

The termination of TPS status was stayed by a U.S. District Judge Monday night. I haven’t read the whole opinion, but it is deservedly harsh on Noem.

This is in the Guardian live news section - the judge is clearly a mistress of ironic prose. I like the distinction she makes between:

"Kristi Noem" who "has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants."

and

"Secretary Noem," who "however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program."

A federal judge in Washington DC on Monday blocked the Trump administration from stripping Temporary Protected Status from up to 350,000 Haitians, which allows them to legally live and work in the United States during the turmoil in their homeland.

Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary stay that prevents the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, from implementing her decision to remove the status, known as TPS, on Tuesday.

Reyes began her decision by putting the status into historical context. “On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: ‘America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of all Nations & Religions,’” the judge wrote. “More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.”

Reyes notes that Noem, in announcing her decision on X (formerly known as Twitter), referred to those seeking refuge in the US as “killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies.”

She then notes that the plaintiffs who asked her to block the order, five Haitian TPS holders, “are not, it emerges, ‘killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies.’”

“They are instead: Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, a neuroscientist researching Alzheimer’s disease…; Rudolph Civil, a software engineer at a national bank…; Marlene Gail Noble, a laboratory assistant in a toxicology department…; Marica Merline Laguerre, a college economics major…; and Vilbrun Dorsainvil, a full-time registered nurse”, the judge added. “They claim that Secretary Noem’s decision violates the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)… and the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”

At the end of her decision, Reys wrote:

"Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. Secretary Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that."

There has been widespread speculation that, if TPS is removed from Haitians, the Trump administration could move to quickly deport Haitians from Springfield, Ohio, the immigrant community Donald Trump falsely accused, in a 2024 debate, of eating the dogs and cats of longtime residents.

I swear, this reality feels like its being crafted by an incredibly lazy writer.

"What should our main racist character be named? How about Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem. Initials, KLAN."

The Judge’s distinction between Noem the citizen and Noem the DHS director is a thing of beauty.
