The mayor of Springfield, Ohio, stated that a bomb threat targeting City Hall and multiple buildings "used hateful language towards immigrants and Haitians in our community." Mayor Rob Rue emphasized that "Springfield is a community that needs help" and urged national leaders to assist rather than "hurt" the community, as has occurred in recent days. During a national debate, Donald Trump made false claims about immigrants eating pets in Springfield, which the city manager debunked. Despite these corrections, Trump continued to push this narrative on social media. Authorities, including the FBI, are investigating the source of the bomb threat.
