Margery Koveleski, a committed advocate for the Haitian community in Springfield, has noticed a troubling trend where local Haitians, facing the threat of mass deportation, are now seeking assistance to leave Ohio altogether. This transition marks a significant shift from her usual work of helping them navigate local bureaucracy, highlighting the fear and uncertainty surrounding their legal status since the recent presidential election.
Haitians in Springfield are feeling the effects of the political landscape as the local community reports an exodus of families fearing deportation. Koveleski mentions, 'People are leaving' because of the impending changes to immigrant protections and aggressive local policing. This sentiment is echoed by community leaders who have witnessed friends and neighbors evacuate to safer states or even other countries as Trump’s proposed policies loom.
