In Maryland, a church is experiencing a decline in attendance due to fears of immigration enforcement. The Word of Life Center, a hub for the Haitian community, has seen a significant drop in attendees. Normally, the church would have over 500 people at Sunday services, but recently, that number has been more than halved.

This is reportedly due to community members staying at home, fearing arrests and deportation. Further details on the situation are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, which reports on the impact of the end of Temporary Protected Status on the community.
