All Sides with Amy Juravich

The United Supreme Court ruled on June 25 that the Trump administration was allowed to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of more than 300,000 Haitians in the United States.

Recently, the work permits for Haitians with TPS were extended to July 24, while lower courts fully implement the Supreme Court ruling.

There are between 10,000 and 15,000 Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, which is a significant portion of the city’s overall population of about 60,000.

The Haitian Community Network in Columbus estimates there are about 30,000 Haitians in Columbus with about 18,000 of them here on TPS.

We will discuss what the impending July 24 date means for Haitians in Springfield and in Columbus and their employers.

• Emily Brown, assistant clinical professor of law/director of the Immigration Clinic at Ohio State University

The history of the Columbus music scene runs far and deep.

Jazz and swing took over Columbus streets in the 1920s, followed by rock, soul and swing, in the 60s, ending the 20th century with punk, indie and rock.

Now in 2026, you can find almost every genre and instrument being played in Columbus.

Columbus was the starting point for many successful musicians such as jazz artist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, duo Twenty-One Pilots and country band Rascal Flatts.

Now, it is a place that is nurturing new musicians that are hoping to one day make it big like their fellow Buckeye stars.

Today, we will hear about all sides of the Columbus music industry, from venues to nonprofit organizations that make music possible for many.

Guests:

• Walker Evans, co-founder, Columbus Underground

The United States Postal Service, in the words of the postmaster general, is out of money.

The federal independent agency generally relies on no tax money, and is largely funded by stamps, packages and other sales.

It’s once again staring at a $1 billion shortage. The forever stamp now costs 82 cents, but who’s writing and mailing letters anymore.

Now there’s a political battle over its future, and the use of mail-in ballots.

Has the postal service, with its rich history, outlived its mission?

We're talking about the future of the postal service on this hour of All Sides.

Fertility rates in the U.S. have fallen by 22% since 2007. This also happens to be the year the iPhone was introduced to the world by Apple.

The motto for justice in democratic countries is “innocent until proven guilty,” but what if it were the other way around?

Algorithms and data analytics being used in policing raise troubling concerns about privacy, autonomy, and freedom.

More bills become law with the stroke of Gov. DeWine's pen, including a conservative-backed idea called the "Success Sequence." It will now be taught to children starting in the 6th grade.

Just what is it and why is there opposition?

Listen up, drivers: If police pull you over for any reason, you must provide your name, address and date of birth, because under a new law you can't withhold personal information.

Due to new digital safeguards, SNAP recipients will get new cards with electronic chips, and Medicaid home health workers must check in electronically.
