An immigration advocacy group asked authorities Tuesday in Springfield, Ohio, to charge former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, with multiple criminal offenses related to claims they made about the city’s Haitian community.
The Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA), a San Diego-based group, filed a bench memorandum and supporting affidavit in Clark County Municipal Court, asking a judge to charge Vance and Trump with disrupting public services, making false alarms, two counts of complicity, two counts of telecommunications harassment and aggravated menacing. The filing asks that the court find probable cause for the charges and issue arrest warrants for Trump and Vance.
On its website, the HBA said it “advocates for fair and humane immigration policies and provides migrants and immigrants with humanitarian, legal, and social services, with a particular focus on Black people, the Haitian community, women and girls, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and survivors of torture and other human rights abuses.” The group also said it is working to “end racist border policies like the Remain in Mexico Policy, Title 42, and the border-to-prison-and-deportation pipeline.”
