Trump claimed that immigrants, particularly Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, are negatively impacting local communities, alleging they eat pets and are tied to crime, despite evidence to the contrary.
He stated, 'We'll go there. I can say this: we will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio—large deportations. We're gonna get these people out.' This statement is controversial given the legal status of many immigrants.
Amidst these claims, local officials in Aurora, Colorado, have countered Trump's assertions about gang activity, labeling them as exaggerated and stating that the context of the situation is more complex.
The situation around the Haitian immigrants is complicated; they are protected under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which legally allows them to reside and work in the United States.
