Daniel Driscoll, the Republican chief prosecutor for Clark County, which includes Springfield, Ohio, is calling out Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for lying about crime statistics to create a story that the city is being overrun with violence.

J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, headlined an evangelical conservative gala Monday evening in Atlanta. When speaking from the podium, Vance touted his Christian faith and insisted that he wanted the United States’ “public policy to be motivated by the wisdom of loving thy neighbor.”

Sen. JD Vance, Donald Trump's 2024 running mate, continues to fuel the firestorm surrounding Springfield, Ohio, with false claims about Haitian migrants.

The immigrants are mainly in the United States under temporary protected status, which the executive branch can grant to people whose home countries are in crisis.

The Republican senator continued the hateful rhetoric that has thrust an Ohio town into the national spotlight and made Haitian immigrants right-wing targets.

In remarks at a Raleigh, North Carolina rally, Donald Trump’s running mate claimed that Haitian immigrants, who were paroled into the country and have authorization to work, have been unlawfully protected from deportation.
