Ginther: Ending TPS is "irresponsible and inhumane"

Driving the news: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that the Trump administration can end these groups' Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a designation applied to immigrants fleeing dangerous and unstable conditions in their home nations.

What they're saying: "We cannot prevent federal operations from happening in our city, and federal officers do not communicate their plans with us," Ginther said in a statement Wednesday.

• "During 'Operation Buckeye' we came together to show these operations are unwanted and not helpful to keeping our city safe – Columbus is already safe."
• Ginther directed people who may be affected by the court's decision to reach out to Legal Aid or Community Refugee & Immigration Services and to carry federal identification when possible.

The bottom line: "When our neighbors fear reporting crimes or calling 911, everyone in our city becomes less safe," the statement continues.

• "If you need help, we will ask you where you are and what your emergency is — we will never ask about your immigration status."
