Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday he's sending three dozen state troopers to be stationed around Springfield schools.
The city of Springfield, Ohio , is stepping up security as viral, false claims about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets continue to circulate after being amplified by former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday afternoon he was sending three dozen state troopers to provide added security to schools in the city after a 'series of unfounded bomb threats.
Last week, Vance shared the baseless rumor on social media, saying, 'Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country.' Trump then repeated it during his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. 'In Springfield, they're eating the dogs — the people that came in — they're eating the cats,' Trump said at the debate. 'They're eating — they're eating the pets of the people that live there.
