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.

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.
Don’t worry, no deportation. Just the camps and the ovens for you.
