Trump falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants were eating the dogs, cats and pets of local residents.

Officials said there have been no credible or detailed reports about the claims. A Springfield police spokesperson addressed Trump's remarks, saying in a statement to Reuters: "In response to recent rumors alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community."

Trump spoke about the impact tens of thousands of Haitian immigrants have on the population of Springfield, a city of roughly 59,000 people.

"If you go to Ohio, you know, there they're talking about 25 to 30,000 people coming in from Haiti," Trump said. "And this is a town that is small, beautiful, no problems, no crime, no nothing."

"And it's a bad criminal element, too. A bad criminal element," he added.

The Associated Press reported some 15,000 Haitian immigrants have arrived in Springfield since 2020 under the Temporary Protected Status program.

Springfield's government website notes that Haitian immigrants are in the country legally under the Immigration Parole Program.

"Once here, immigrants are then eligible to apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Haiti is designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security for TPS. Current TPS is granted through February 3, 2026," the website stated.
