Trump repeats viral, debunked claim about pets being eaten by Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio
LIVE: Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris ABC News Presidential DebateFormer President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will meet face-to-face for the first time in a highly-anticipated debate Tuesday night. The two presidential candidates describe the state of the country in starkly different terms.
Trump, congressional Republicans and several Gold Star families say they believe these investigations have not gone far enough.According to the city of Springfield, Ohio, these claims are false. A city spokesperson tells ABC News there have been "no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals in the immigrant community."
The House Judiciary GOP X account used AI tools to show Trump holding cats and ducks, portraying him as a savior of animals. Migrants have been drawn to the region because of low cost of living and work opportunities, the city says on its site. The city estimates there are around 12,000 to 15,000 immigrants living in the county, and that the rapid rise in population has strained housing, health care, and school resources. But the city also says that the migrants are in the country legally and that many are recipients of Temporary Protected Status from the federal government.Fact Check: False.
In an August interview with CBS News, Trump said that while "we will be discussing specifics of it," he will not enforce the Comstock Act.Earlier this year, a bipartisan group of senators unveiled a $20 billion plan to substantially bolster security along the U.S.-Mexico border.
