Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance has been amplifying false claims that Haitian immigrants are abducting and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. Despite these assertions, the Springfield police department has stated that they have not received any credible reports to substantiate these allegations. The claims, which surfaced on Monday, have been widely circulated on social media and used by Vance to attack Vice President Kamala Harris. Officials and local authorities continue to deny the validity of these rumors. The GOP has been criticized for elevating these false claims about illegal immigrants.
