Springfield, Ohio, has seen its small population grow by over 20%, driven almost entirely by immigrants. During Tuesday's debate, former President Donald Trump repeated baseless claims that Haitian immigrants in the city are abducting and eating people's pets. Local officials have debunked the claim, telling PBS News there has been no uptick in crime related to Haitian residents and they have not seen any reports of people's pets being kidnapped. to.pbs.org/4gkikPD
