Summary

Springfield, Ohio’s Haitian community is experiencing an exodus following Donald Trump’s re-election and renewed threats to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which allows many Haitians to live and work legally in the U.S.

Fear of deportation has driven families to relocate to places like Boston, New Jersey, and Canada.

TPS protections, which cover 300,000 Haitians, could face legal challenges, but experts argue mass deportations are unlikely in the short term.

Haitian workers have revitalized Springfield’s economy, and their departure could severely impact local businesses and neighborhoods.

    Every thing trumpians disagree with or is pure fascism is a joke to them.

    Everything is fake news, so if Trump says something stupid, he just says it’s fake

    Trump will be using the justice department and IRS to attack his enemies, and by the time people realize what is happening, it will be difficult to go back

      It’s not the Justice or IRS or even FBI/CIA I worry about. Trump said somewhere that he’d have no problem using the US Military against Americans. He probably already has a plan to replace all the generals who might have a conscience or be loyal to the consititution (and not him).
