Anxiety among Haitians in Ohio has been growing as the federal government has started flying people who lost protected status back to the troubled Caribbean country. Meanwhile, an aid organization, the International Rescue Committee, reports that attacks are spreading in Haiti. Gangs already rule most of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
