One week after Mayor Sharetta Smith addressed Lima City Council about Haitian immigration, the Neighborhood Concerns Committee met inside Council Chambers to discuss what exactly is the definition of a family. At Monday night's meeting, Lima City Law Director, Tony Geiger, explained that the current definition of family in lima is quote "any number of individuals living together as a single housekeeping unit and doing their own cooking on the premises." Councilors brought forth the problem of people overcrowding in single family homes that first primarily involved college students but now affects the recent influx of Haitian immigrants to Lima with council investigating a possible family definition change. One Haitian immigrant, Amos Mercelin, attended the meeting where he spoke to Your Hometown Stations about his current experiences and why he fled Haiti.

President Biden is looking at lifting the health order Title 42, which allows the United States to deny entry to immigrants during the COVID outbreak. Portman says around half of the unlawful immigrants were turned away because of Title 42. He wants the Biden administration to reconsider lifting the order and come up with a plan to deal with the illegal immigrants and drugs that cross the Southern border.
