A Haitian nonprofit representing the community in Springfield, Ohio has filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, accusing them of knowingly spreading false claims about legal immigrants eating cats and dogs, the Associated Presss reported.
In Ohio, private citizens can file lawsuits demanding that authorities enforce criminal law. In its lawsuit, the Haitian Bridge Alliance, a group that advocates on behalf of immigrants from Haiti, noted that the Republican presidential ticket has spread lies that have resulted in bomb threats, harassment and the disruption of public services.
