Ohio and Springfield officials prepare for a possible ICE surgeCOLUMBUS, Ohio (Statehouse News Bureau) — Hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in the U.S. are set to lose their legal status Tuesday, absent further court action. With the date now imminent, state and local officials are preparing for the possible surge of federal immigration enforcement officers in Springfield, where several thousand Haitians reside. Mike DeWine and other state leaders briefed Springfield City School District officials on related contingency and safety measures, according to an internal email Superintendent Robert Hill sent district staff last Tuesday. But his internal email indicated enforcement could begin as soon as Wednesday, Feb. 4, and last at least one month. “You’d have to have your head in the sand to not know that ICE is going to come to Springfield, I mean, this administration doesn’t make an example of your town and create lies about your town,” Wentworth said.
