How did 20, 000 out of 100, 000 Haitians all end up in one small US city hundreds of miles away from the border

That’s the real story

[jayel]

The fact that this is a close election is beyond ridiculous. America needs help.

[annmartin-frey]

There is police body cam footage, that man did not lie

[SteamCrane]

Eating cats and other domestic animals, and ducks, is part of Haitian tradition, somewhat religious. 20, 000 Haitians transported into a town of 60, 000 is a disaster.

There's bodycam footage of a cop arresting a migrant for killing a cat with the intent to eat it

[michaelcarlson]

I have seen a few local reports, and videos confirming this is happening. City Manager probably got paid off.

[MyNameJeff..]

Why are a bunch of military aged men invading my state and the town of Springfield, when vet’s and other Americans can’t even get assistance and are struggling? It’s sickening.

[luloops]

Believe the city manager not the citizens of Springfield. Typical.

[pattichristmas]

They just busted a group with dead geese in their hands! I thought we had a hunting season for a reason.

[aaronl]

It's a fact.
Many people are saying it.snatch8ng ducks from the parks also.
And gangs have taken over apartment complexes in Colorado

[lynettetanaka]

David Muir was totally wrong about this and didn’t do his homework. Harris just laughed and could care less about Americans.

[jazzynites]

There was an arrest for shooting a American Eagle for food

[JonnyHolms]

Just watched another Springfield Ohio town meeting and yes they are indulging in pets and wildlife..so to all the denialist let's see 👀 where you stand when, and it will, comes to your town 😅😊..

[joannebutcher]

It's not a claim they are killing the ducks and geese in the park

[EROD]

I literally just saw a video of residents complaining about people eating their ducks and pets, a city hall meeting 😅

[jamaalspancake]

that city manager is full of shit and should be investigated

[cindyniquette]

And he never answered the question as to why he killed the bill

[valevisa]

"A dog who can still barks is not well done "
Haitian proverb

[lazymansload]

Am I the only one who noticed that he didn’t answer the question? Why DID he kill that bill?

[TexasRedFam]

There are videos of it, The town is terrified
