Ohio’s Republican governor, Mike DeWine, rejected the claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, calling the storyline “a piece of garbage that was simply not true.”

The governor of Ohio will send law enforcement and millions of dollars in healthcare resources to the city of Springfield as it faces a surge in temporary Haitian migrants.

The part-time rabbi at the only synagogue in Springfield, Ohio, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that Haitian migrants are disenfranchising the town’s citizens, claiming that two members of his congregation had been “forced to move” out of an apartment complex and injured in a car accident because of the influx.
