Trump promised to deport Haitian migrants from Ohio

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced his intention to conduct mass deportations of Haitian migrants from Springfield, Ohio. He did this after, during a debate with Kamala Harris, he falsely used accusations against Haitians that they eat domestic animals. This was reported by Reuters.

“We will do great deportations in Springfield, Ohio”, said Trump at a press conference.

This Time he did not repeat his claim that migrants are eating dogs and cats, which created discontent on social media.

However, Trump did not provide any other arguments for the deportation of Haitians.

Most of the 15,000 migrants from Haiti living in Springfield are legally in the US.

Trump accused Democrats of crime due to illegal migrants

During the debate, Trump accused Democrats of increasing the number of illegal migrants and the rise in crime overall, particularly "migrant crime".

“They allowed criminals to enter here. In Venezuela, the crime rate has dropped, do you know why? Because all their criminals came here. Because she (Harris) allows them to come here. Look at what is happening in our cities? In Springfield, migrants are eating our residents' pets”, said Trump. However, the host noted that there is no evidence to support this claim.

After Trump's statement, a trend spread on the social network Tiktok in which Americans joked about "cooking" cats and dogs.
