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.

That isn’t what Trump means and you know it.
Revoking and not extending are two different things.
Man, I can’t believe 10 years of Trump and people are still doing this “sure, he said that, but he’s actually a brilliant legal and political tactician and what he means is…”
The man is a moron, surrounded by the most hateful motherfuckers on the planet. He says what he Fucking means.
When he says terrible shit he is saying what he means.
He also frequently says non-terrible shit, but then contradicts himself shortly after so we know that whe he says something that isn’t terrible then he is lying.
Then why didn’t he say
Absolutely, I’d NOT EXTEND it and I’d bring them back to their country,” Trump said.

Defo 2 very different things
The federal government uses the term “terminate” rather than “revoke” to describe the decision not to extend TPS, but even the article the OP posted (which is very critical of Trump’s plan) interprets what he said as “not extend”.
