Unfounded Claims Target Springfield Officials, Haitian Immigrants

Unfounded Claims Target Springfield Officials, Haitian Immigrants

Springfield, Ohio, has been the target of misinformation about its Haitian immigrant population. Conservative commentators are now falsely claiming the mayor traveled to Haiti and he and other city officials received “kick-backs” for “importing” immigrants to Springfield. The mayor told us he has never been to Haiti nor has he received any “kickbacks.”
