It specifically impacts migrants from four countries, including Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, according to the Associated Press. About 15,000 Haitian migrants live in Springfield and no longer have temporary legal status, meaning they will have to leave the country in August. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said businesses in Springfield will feel the impact if the Haitian community leaves. 'Businessmen and women have told me who run these companies, told me without these Haitians there, they cannot produce as much. They'll scale back. They will have to stop one shift,' DeWine said.

Officials remind drivers to ‘move over' after patrol vehicles hit in northeast GA

[DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] The reminder comes after a Habersham County deputy patrol car was hit by another vehicle Saturday night.

'This is not the first time one of our vehicles has been struck trying to keep work crews safe in that area of Ga. 365, but thankfully our personnel and others involved have not been injured in the collisions.' Georgia's Move Over Law requires drivers to move over one lane when possible if an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is parked on the shoulder of the highway. If traffic is too heavy, authorities ask drivers to slow down and be prepared to stop.

Man falls from cliff while reportedly evading authorities; boat fire could connect him to crimes
Firefighters are revealing new details about the rescue of a man who fell over 40 feet off of cliff while reportedly running from law enforcement in Clark County on Sunday morning. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] As News Center 7 previously reported, the incident happened at the Mad River Gorge and Nature Preserve. Sunday morning, in the dark, deputies were joined by Springfield Police and Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) troopers while looking, unsuccessfully, for a man who ran from a deputy trying to pull him over. Brennen Kumbusky said he found the victim hours later, around 7:30 a.m. 'Ended up hearing this guy yelling, 'Help!' And I was like,' Do you need medical?'' Kumbusky said. TRENDING STORIES: Delta to discontinue longtime non-stop route from Dayton; New flight to replace Bodies of 3 missing sisters found after visit with their father Escaped zebra remains at large after 'wreaking havoc' on busy interstate The man he found lying at the bottom of a cliff didn't want him to call 911 despite having injuries all over his body, including a compound fracture in his leg. 'So he was there for a couple hours, and I don't know if it was just adrenaline that was keeping him going, but a compound fracture,' he described. Kumbusky told News Center 7 that he later learned about everything else that happened. Sheriff's deputies said a vehicle that drove away from one of their deputies was spotted near the park. They asked for help searching, and an OSHP aviation unit spotted a man running down railroad tracks. That same unit then called firefighters after spotting a fire in the woods. They found an abandoned boat that had been set on fire. Its burned-out remains were spotted by News Center 7 on Tuesday. 'Our crews chose to stay away and not enter the area because of the risk of whoever the suspect was, whatever their reason for being there was,' Springfield Fire Chief Jacob King said. As shown on News Center 7 at 5:00, King said the aviation unit called the area safe and clear of people about an hour later. Then, firefighters headed back there carrying extinguishers to douse the flames. 'But none of our apparatus will fit down there,' King explained. 'It's a significantly long distance to walk as well.' Everyone agrees on one thing: the man is lucky to survive. 'When I came up on him, he was freezing,' Kumbusky said. Sheriff's Office investigators that News Center 7 spoke with on Tuesday admitted that now, even 48 hours after the incident, they can't say for sure that the injured man in the hospital is the same person who drove away from the deputy.
