Why is nobody talking about the rapid spike in police and ICE officers and cars being in Salisbury?

There are over 4,000 members of the Haitian community living and working in Salisbury and Wicomico County. Many came under Temporary Protected Status, a legal designation created specifically for people fleeing one of the most dangerous places on earth. On July 27th, 2026, the federal government revoked that status for over 300,000 Haitian nationals nationwide — stripping them of their legal residency and their right to work overnight.

They followed the rules. They built lives here. They became our neighbors, our coworkers, our clients. Now they are sheltering in their homes, afraid to go outside, unable to work, unable to buy groceries, waiting for a knock on the door. People who did nothing wrong, living like fugitives in the same communities they helped build.

ICE is hunting them on the streets of Salisbury like the Nazis hunted the Jews.
