SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — President-elect Donald Trump promised mass-deportations of migrants in Springfield during his campaign. While it is still unknown what the post-election landscape will look like when it comes to immigration, Haitians in this Ohio city who were thrusted into the national spotlight are concerned.

Ketlie Moise is holding back tears because her Haitian restaurant, Keket Bon Gout, is empty, and she said she can’t go back to Haiti.

“I don’t have nothing in Haiti now. My house was burned. My business burned. I lost my mom,” said Moise. 

She said she was separated from her kids and husband trying to escape the violence to come to the U.S. She said she came here on a work visa, and started cooking.

She opened her Haitian restaurant in Springfield last year but she said Trump’s false claims about what Haitians are eating brought hatred that drove away some Haitians and at the same time support flowing into to her restaurant.

“A lot of people come in to eat, buy some food, gone. But today, you see, it's quiet," said Moise. 

A month later, she said that kind of support is gone and she’s worried about something else Trump said during his campaign.

“We’re gonna have the largest deportation in our country, and we’re gonna start with Springfield," said Trump previously.

Now that he’s on the way to the White House, Moise is holding on to hope that another Trump presidency will turn things around for the better. 

“I hope Trump (changes) everything — for me, for the community for Haitians coming here. We come to work," said Moise. 

Spectrum News reached out to the Springfield mayor who has pushed back on the Trump campaign's statements about his city. The Republican is not commenting on the post-election landscape at this time.
