Springfield city and Clark County officials sought to set the record straight Tuesday after Springfield became fodder for the broader immigration debate as misinformation about Haitian immigrants garnered national attention.

Springfield has been at the front of national debate about immigration this week, peaking with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on the presidential debate stage Tuesday night, addressing viral, rejected claims that Haitians here were eating people’s pets.

Springfield, Ohio — Clark County officials said Wednesday morning that they cannot substantiate a new claim alleging Haitian immigrants were killing and/or eating wildlife.

There have been two reports this year of people believed to be Haitian grabbing geese and ducks from Snyder Park in Springfield, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Springfield has become former President Donald Trump's go-to example of the dangers of current immigration policy in his bid for the presidency.

A sign at Snyder Park’s Peanut Pond urging park goers to not eat the ducks was confirmed Friday to be an unauthorized sign, not posted by the National Trails Parks and Recreation District.
