Bomb Threat Evacuates Springfield City Hall
News summary

Springfield City Hall in Ohio was evacuated following a bomb threat linked to rising tensions over immigration, particularly concerning Haitian migrants. The threat, which prompted the closure of various city and school buildings, was received via email early Thursday morning and mentioned 'frustration with the city related to Haitian immigration issues,' as reported by Springfield's Mayor Rob Rue. This incident comes just days after Donald Trump amplified a debunked conspiracy during a presidential debate, claiming Haitian immigrants were eating pets, a rumor that has drawn widespread backlash. Local officials have stated there is no evidence supporting these claims, and the city has experienced significant population growth due to immigration. Law enforcement is actively investigating the threat while urging community vigilance. The mayor emphasized the need for safety as the city navigates this tense situation.
