SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (Reuters) -Accompanied by their newborn son, Michelet and his wife arrived at the St. Vincent de Paul Community Center in Springfield, Ohio, last week looking for help from the non-profit's volunteers. They wanted to apply for a valuable document for the infant that for now seems out of reach for them as Haitian immigrants: a U.S. passport.
With their own legal status precarious, Michelet and his wife see the passport as crucial proof that their U.S.-born son is an American citizen. But they know that their son's citizenship will do nothing to stop the Trump administration from following through on its goal of deporting them - and hundreds of thousands of other Haitian immigrants - back to the violence-racked Caribbean island nation.
