Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has pledged to conduct mass deportations of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, despite the majority being in the United States legally. This follows false claims that Haitian arrivals were eating household pets, causing a social media uproar. Trump’s remarks have been widely criticized, with President Biden urging the attacks on the Haitian community to cease. The Biden administration extended Temporary Protected Status to hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the U.S. due to gang wars and severe food insecurity in Haiti. Trump has used the tensions in Springfield to push for hardline immigration policies, claiming the influx of Haitians has strained social services. Haitian community leaders have expressed concerns that Trump’s remarks could incite violence and further divide the community. City officials in Springfield have not found credible reports of Haitians eating pets or being targeted in hate crimes. Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric has sparked debates on immigration policy and its impact on communities across the U.S.
