Haitian New Yorkers protested against anti-immigrant rhetoric following former President Donald Trump's false claims that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pets. These statements have been debunked by local officials and have provoked backlash, including a strong condemnation from the Miami Heat, who emphasized their support for the Haitian community. The false narrative has led to increased bullying and threats against Haitian immigrants in various communities. Springfield schools and hospitals faced closures due to bomb threats linked to the rhetoric. Trump's comments have been widely criticized as racist and harmful, with calls for respect and truth in discourse.
