Mayor On The Ending Of Temporary Protected Status

(From Findlay Mayor Christina Muryn)

February 2, 2026

Dear Findlay Community Members,

I understand the concerns felt by our community related to the ending of Temporary Protected Status. I continue to reach out to State and Federal Officials to understand what, if any, presence we will see in Findlay. At this point I have received no such communications.

Here are a few reminders as we work through the unknown together.

 

• Our top priority is keeping everyone in our community safe.

If Immigration and Customs Enforcement come to your home or business, please call 911 for a Findlay Police Officer to check for proper credentials and authorization. The Findlay Police Department will not participate, nor impede, Federal Law Enforcement Activities. They will ensure legal rights of all involved are protected.

We respect the rights of the First Amendment and encourage residents to have their voices heard through advocacy with our State and Federal Officials. However, protesting, which is violent, destructive, or impeding law enforcement will not be tolerated.

 

• Not all our immigrant population are impacted by the ending of Temporary Protected Status.

 The ending of Temporary Protected Status most likely impacts a few of our immigrant community members. However, there are other legal paths to continue to stay, such as asylum, work authorization, etc. Just because someone is an immigrant does not mean that they do not have a legal right to be in the United States. Continue to treat all our neighbors with kindness and respect.

 

Sincerely,

Christina M. Muryn

Mayor
