The city of Springfield, Ohio, has filed a lawsuit against the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe and its leaders, alleging they terrorized the city's Haitian community and their supporters. The lawsuit cites incidents of harassment, threats, and intimidation, including bomb threats and the waving of swastika flags at a local jazz festival. It also claims the group spread racist lies about Haitian immigrants during the 2024 presidential campaign, which were amplified by right-wing figures like Donald Trump and JD Vance.
The city of Springfield, Ohio, has filed a lawsuit against the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe and its leaders, accusing them of terrorizing the city's Haitian community and people who support them. During the 2024 presidential campaign — when Donald Trump, JD Vance and some of their allies in right-wing media spread lies alleging Haitian immigrants were eating people’s pets — Haitians in Springfield faced vitriol and harassment.
The lawsuit also claims Blood Tribe members repeatedly issued threats to residents and officials alike, and it ties the group to 33 bomb threats targeting “hospitals, clinics, elementary and middle schools, universities, private residences, and businesses” in the area. The suit recounts one alleged incident, in which a dozen Blood Tribe members gathered outside Mayor Rue’s house carrying swastika flags.
