The mayor of Springfield, Ohio, which has been the target of baseless claims from former President Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) about Haitian immigrants, said a visit from the former president would not be in the city’s best interest.

At the debate, Trump brought the baseless claims to national attention when he said the immigrant community was “eating the dogs” and other pets of Springfield residents.
