I don't sense Springfield Ohio ICE raids to be '" center stage".

The Haitian people of Springfield are there because they were invited to help build the current, dying city/ economy.... It was a successful adventure. That said, they have a lot of MAGAS in Springfield and they do not embrace the Haitian people...they are clueless as to what a beautiful relationship this has become for Springfield as a whole...MAGA racism is strong there...

MAGAS will help the ICE collect the Haitians.... Springfield protesters will be few....yet Yellow Springs and Dayton folks may come out...

I would be nothing less than thrilled if the protester come out in full... There are good education/ preparations going on for the ICE raids.... I sure hope I'm wrong. and that the Haitians will have more love and support from people around the area...

with Temporary Protection Status and on 2/3/2026 it will end.

Apparently ICE is gearing up for detention and deportation.
