Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has ordered state troopers to conduct daily security sweeps at Springfield schools following a series of bomb threats. The threats, which have been confirmed as 33 hoaxes originating from overseas, were linked to false claims spread by former President Donald Trump and Ohio Senator JD Vance about Haitian immigrants eating pets. The city of Springfield has received at least 33 bomb threats, prompting heightened security measures. Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the false claims and expressed her concern for the community, stating that the rhetoric has caused significant fear and disruption.
