“They're eating the dogs, eating the cats in Springfield!”

What You Say

This claim originated from a Facebook post with zero evidence. Springfield police, the city manager, and Ohio's Republican governor all said there is no credible report of pets being harmed or eaten by immigrants. Haitian migrants in Springfield are legally present under humanitarian parole. Politifact rated Trump's debate claim Pants on Fire. The harm is real: bomb threats closed schools and hospitals.
