The Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, is facing immense fear and uncertainty due to President Trump's immigration policies, particularly regarding the Temporary Protected Status program. Pastor Reginald Silencieux led prayers during a service, urging support for both the Haitian community and the U.S. amidst rising fears of federal raids. Community members express anxiety after witnessing arrests nationally, compounded by divisive comments from Trump. Local leaders indicate that tensions have escalated, leading to increased threats and a strong desire for divine intervention and guidance within the community.
"The community is panicking. They see the arrests on TV in other parts of the country and they don’t know what’s going to happen."
"As a church, we have an obligation to pray for him because he's our political leader right now."
