Springfield, Ohio has been hit with over 30 bomb threats since false claims about Haitian migrants eating pets circulated online, fueled by former President Donald Trump and his running mate Senator JD Vance. All threats have been deemed hoaxes but have caused significant disruption, including school evacuations and the cancellation of a major city event.
At least 33 bomb threats have been made in Springfield, Ohio, since false claims — which were pushed by former President Donald Trump and his running mate — surfaced about Haitian migrants eating people’s pets, the governor said. All of the threats have been determined to be hoaxes. Some targeted Springfield schools, including elementary campuses, Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday at a news conference after meeting with city officials. “Our children deserve to be in school.
' Since the threats, tower cameras have been put in place in Springfield, the state arranged for bomb-detecting dogs, and state law enforcement officers are being sent to help respond, officials said. 'The people who are doing this, are doing this to sow discord in our community and to disrupt our ability to do our normal functions that we have to do,' said Andy Wilson, director of the state Department of Public Safety. 'And we just can't let them do that.
