Former President Donald Trump announced plans to visit Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado, within the next two weeks, drawing attention to his hardline immigration stance. Trump has made unverified claims about immigrant-related violence in both cities, including false allegations that Venezuelan gangs have taken over Aurora and that Haitian migrants in Springfield are eating pets. These comments have been repeatedly debunked by local officials but have nonetheless escalated tensions and led to increased threats and public safety concerns in these areas. Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert expressed support for Trump's visit to Colorado, blaming the Biden-Harris administration's border policies for safety issues. Despite the controversy, Trump's rhetoric continues to be a central element of his 2024 presidential campaign.
