The Haitian Bridge Alliance, a nonprofit advocating for the Haitian community, filed charges against former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance, accusing them of inciting chaos and threats in Springfield, Ohio. The charges follow Trump’s false claims during a presidential debate about legal immigrants in the city.
