'No one is safe': Inside a Maryland Haitian community grappling with ICE raids

Temporary protected status ended for an estimated 300,000 Haitians in April. Standing near the back in a packed Salisbury, Maryland, church was a Haitian immigrant mother named Venue, joining around 100 of her community members in calling for changes to immigration enforcement in Maryland. Venue, whose full name is not being used for her safety, is surrounded by her children. Some at the church are citizens by birthright, some not, but all still calling for change. “Coming out, going out the house, you always just have to be careful,” Venue’s son said. “We have to take different routes. Take routes where you know police might not be around.” Their story is among many in Salisbury that have been impacted by a wave of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action on the community’s Haitian residents. “Everyone has a different type of their own social media, the homepage,” Venue’s son said. “Since we're Haitians… It's more like a daily thing.” “I would just like to see like an answer all of this,” he added.
