Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Mullin v. Doe, regarding Temporary Protected Status (TPS):
"Today, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling allowing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to be canceled or expire.
"Today’s decision is a legal decision. As I have stated in the past, the policy to remove these individuals from this country is a mistake.
"As a result of today’s ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation. This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them.
"The situation in Haiti could hardly be much worse. The violent gangs run most of the country. The government barely functions. And, the economy is in shambles.
"Further, our federal government has an advisory against traveling to Haiti, and our Federal Aviation Administration prohibits U.S. carriers from flying there because of the danger to planes of being shot at by the gangs.
"But, more importantly, changing the immigration status of these individuals is not in the best interest of the United States nor Ohio."
NEW: DeWine has vetoed a bill to require photo ID for mail-in voting.
"House Bill 472 would not discourage fraud, would not add any real security, and would create an additional and significant burden for Ohioans who vote by mail," he wrote in his veto message.
Ugonna Onyenso put forth yet another Herculean defensive effort in a narrow ACC Championship loss to top-ranked Duke.
Gave a typically unflappable Cam Boozer fits all game with his length, mobility, motor, and rim-protection instincts, holding him to just 3-of-17 from the field.
Racked up 9 emphatic blocks, giving him 21 for the ACC Tournament, shattering a record long-held by Tim Duncan.
Stew, my dawg, I don't even know what to say. The quintessential Piston. Suffered through all the dark times and was the foundation of the culture as we turned things around. Wishing you all the best. Dawg pound always.
Just in: The Detroit Pistons are trading C/F Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies for three future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Pistons clear Stewart's salary and pick up assets while Grizzlies acquire a 25-year-old as a rugged frontcourt piece.
“If Scotland win the World Cup, I won't bother going home. I would just drink my dark rum and cokes until I expired.”
