Haitian migrants in Springfield face uncertainty as Temporary Protected Status ends Tuesday.
For thousands of Haitian migrants living in Springfield, the possibility of federal agents coming to the city looms large.
According to the city's website, it's estimated that between 12,000 and 15,000 migrants live in Clark County. A majority of them are from Haiti and fled to the United States because of safety concerns.
Many live under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a program that allows people from countries in conflict a chance to live and work in the U.S. for a period of time.
However, TPS for Haitian migrants is set to end after Feb. 3. That was announced in November, when U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said that Haiti no longer meets the requirements for TPS.

ducks, geese, cats and dogs are happy
I hope they sit down to a nice dinner of rice, bananas, cat, dog and park geese while they are cowering in their kitchenettes.
Well then, take the money and leave.
Car insurance rates will plummet
They should.
Wow! And here I thought the filthy Haitians were already gone from Ohio.
Safety concerns? You mean beyond the normal concerns of every 3rd world, poverty-stricken hell-hole?
Arenβt these the ones that came up during the campaign about eating pets? Yeah, start packing for Haiti and be gone by Wednesday. Itβs a lot warmer there than OH anyway. Bye.
Oh, those Haitians, welcomed to town....

Will never ever let you down.
They read the Good Book from Fri’ till Monday
That’s how the weekend goes.
I’ve got a dream house I’ll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin’ rose.
I feel so welcome each time that I return.
yup
The Haitians were crashing into EVERYTHING
“Their eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!” Loved it
Now the American citizens have safety concerns.

"Haiti has a deep, significant, and inseparable blend of Vodou (Voodoo) and Christianity, with estimates suggesting 50% to 80% of the population practice some form of Vodou, often alongside Catholicism. It is a fundamental part of Haitian cultural identity and history."
In the movie Major League they mollified the great power hitter in his demand for sacrificing a live chicken in a ritual by offering a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken..

That’s Santeria, not Voodoo.
RE: My mistake of Voodoo for Santeria....
I beg your pardon. Far be it from me to insult another’s religion. I actually had a moment’s hesitation over putting that in the voodoo context but then laziness overwhelmed me and I left it in.
I won’t bring up whether the Christian player was right that Jesus Christ could hit a fast ball if he wanted to. Oops, I just did.
I don’t practice Santeria.
Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, fear potential ICE raids as TPS expires
So, this means no more TPS Reports?
Good
No way for me to phrase it elegantly. I didn’t mean you as the person practicing Santeria, just others who practice it.
Sorry.
