An Ohio city, Springfield, has taken legal action against a neo-Nazi group, the Blood Tribe, for their alleged involvement in a campaign of harassment and intimidation against the city's Haitian community. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Dayton, accuses the group of inciting racial hatred and targeting individuals who supported the Haitian immigrants.
With assistance from the Anti-Defamation League, the plaintiffs, including Mayor Rob Rue, are seeking a jury trial to prevent further threats and seek damages from the Blood Tribe. The lawsuit details various instances of hateful conduct by the group, such as bomb threats, death threats, and public displays of Nazi symbols.
