Springfield , Ohio , is a microcosm of how immigration is reshaping communities throughout the U.S. An estimated 12,000 to 15,000 Haitian immigrants live in Clark County , officials said.

Many began arriving because businesses in the town, which had seen its population decrease, needed labor.

Catholic charities, other philanthropies, volunteers, and county agencies have banded together to tackle the challenge.

Many Haitians in Springfield have reported threats since Trump and Vance made their town a focus of the campaign.

Many sought care at Rocking Horse Community Health Center , a federally qualified health center.

The center treated 410 patients from Haiti in 2022 , up 250% from 115 in 2021 .

Hospitals have also felt the impact.
