Pierre Damas Bel should have been starting his first week at Wright State University, where he was going to play soccer and study neuroscience on his way to becoming a neurosurgeon.

Instead, on Monday, August 31, Pierre took his own life.

Pierre had told friends and family that he was depressed and humiliated after being forced to wear an ankle monitor. He was a Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holder. After President Trump ended the program in late July, people who had been living legally in the United States were at risk of deportation and forced to wear ankle monitors.

“I came to this country to pursue my education,” Pierre wrote in a post. “I didn’t come here to commit a crime or hurt anyone. Yet now I’m walking through the streets of the United States with a GPS monitor on my leg, carrying a feeling of shame and humiliation that I never imagined I would experience.”

On Monday afternoon, Pierre spoke to his father by phone while he was on a highway. His father says Pierre spoke about how depressed he was feeling.

After hanging up the phone, Pierre threw himself in front of a truck.

Pierre’s family wants the record to show that their son was pushed to this breaking point by the Trump administration’s brutal and inhumane policies. These policies threatened people to return to a country that remains destabilized and punish them for simply existing.

Teachers, mentors and work supervisors wrote character statements on Pierre’s behalf. His senior-year English teacher said he was “a student of the highest caliber and a young man of the greatest integrity, with a drive to continue to make a positive impact on the community that has helped him become the success he is.”

In May, Pierre graduated from Springfield High School as co-captain of the varsity soccer team, a lieutenant in his school’s JROTC program and a member of the National Honor Society. He graduated with a 3.8 GPA.

This week, his family will bury him when they should have been sending him off to college

Local newsrooms are reporting that this was a car accident. It was a suicide, police confirmed with his family.

Pierre Damas Bel came to the United States with a clear purpose: to pursue his education, build a future, and serve his community. A 20-year-old Haitian Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holder, recent 2026 graduate of Springfield High School, and incoming Wright State University student aspiring to study neuroscience, Bel was a driven athlete and scholar.

During his senior year, he played forward and midfielder for the Wildcats varsity soccer team and served as Class Commander in the JROTC.

On Monday morning, that future was cut short when he took his life on Interstate 70 near South Vienna, Ohio, after being struck by a semi-truck.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Springfield Post responded to the scene at 8:45 a.m. near the 66-mile marker on westbound I-70. While the official crash investigation remains ongoing, the severe psychological and emotional toll Bel faced following federal surveillance measures was evident to those closest to him.

On July 30, Bel shared his profound distress on Instagram after federal immigration authorities fitted him with a GPS ankle tracking device:

WE FEED US!!!

Recreation and radically divergent direct actions are much more effective "protests" than screaming at the sky, giving others power over you with your demands that they change for you and your community to be secure and content.

ICE detained 50,000 people in July.

The Trump regime is disappearing immigrants, criminalizing dissent, waging illegal war, and tearing down barriers to its power—to impose white supremacy, male supremacy, Christian supremacy and American supremacy.

Relying on the midterm elections cannot stop this. But we can.

Millions are staking everything on the midterms. But the Trump regime holds federal power, is suppressing the vote and moving to subvert the elections. Even a Democratic Congress leaves Trump in power.

They tried to overturn the 2020 election and unleashed violence when they lost. This time, they've purged those who might stand in their way, flout Congress, bent federal power to their will, and have the Supreme Court at their back.

This is a rolling coup. They are moving on every front to cement fascist rule-and shut down the means to remove them. THIS REGIME MUST BE DRIVEN FROM POWER.

The force that could do it is millions refusing to go along.

A step too far by the regime-including an attempt to steal the elections-could awaken a sleeping giant, with millions pouring into the streets in sustained, determined, nonviolent resistance.

If that moment comes, will there be a force demanding-and settling for nothing less than-the removal of the Trump Fascist Regime?

Join us!

Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Republican operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP-controlled states. https://www.gregpalast.com/election-stolen-heres/ (2016)

Greg Palast was involved in the following investigation and successfully together with the ACLU sued Crosscheck and got that specific program dismantled https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Voter_Registration_Crosscheck_Program However, the problem remains as they find other ways to do it. It's blatantly illegal, but the enforcement mechanisms are weak.

"academics and states that use the program have found that its results are overrun with false positives, creating a high risk of disenfranchising legal voters. A statistical analysis of the program published earlier this year by researchers at Stanford, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and Microsoft, for instance, found that Crosscheck “would eliminate about 200 registrations used to cast legitimate votes for every one registration used to cast a double vote.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/07/20/this-anti-voter-fraud-program-gets-it-wrong-over-99-of-the-time-the-gop-wants-to-take-it-nationwide/ (un-paywalled: https://archive.ph/0T7ue)
