Haitians are a vital source of employees for health care providers in many communities. The Trump administration is removing legal status next month for 330,000 of them.
Vilbrun Dorsainvil said he fled Haiti in 2021 after he was threatened for speaking out about the government. He settled in Springfield, Ohio, which is home to a growing Haitian community.
Dozens of refugees with valid status have been sent from Minnesota to Texas to be revetted, prompting a lawsuit. Those released have had to pay their way back.
