Subject: Charges filed against Trump and Vance
For the Springfield Haitian immigrant lies. Yep. Actually done.
Of course, this had to be done by a citizen group using some rarely used laws. And there's a pretty low likelihood of success. But it's making a point.
The spreading of these lies has concrete consequences to the citizens of Springfield - and not just the Haitian community.
Haitian group in Springfield, Ohio, files citizen criminal charges against Trump and Vance
The leader of a nonprofit representing the Haitian community invoked a private-citizen right to file charges Tuesday against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, over the chaos and threats experienced by Springfield, Ohio, since Trump first spread false claims about legal immigrants there during a presidential debate.
Trump and Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, are charged with disrupting public services, making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing and complicity. The filing asks the Clark County Municipal Court to affirm that there is probable cause and issue arrest warrants against Trump and Vance.
“Their persistence and relentlessness, even in the face of the governor and the mayor saying this is false, that shows intent,” Chandra said. “It’s knowing, willful flouting of criminal law.”
