During Tuesday’s debate, former President Donald Trump advanced two unfounded conspiracy theories concerning migrant communities in small U.S. cities. Trump referred to false claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, alleging that they were involved in bizarre and unsubstantiated activities like “eating the dogs.” This claim was widely debunked, with Springfield police and city officials confirming there were no such incidents and that the controversy distracted from real issues related to immigrant integration.
Trump also echoed false narratives about Aurora, Colorado, suggesting that migrants were violently taking over buildings. This theory gained traction after a video showing armed men in an apartment complex sparked misinformation. Aurora Police clarified that while some gang members were arrested, there was no evidence of a takeover.
Throughout the debate, Trump used these claims to criticize the Biden administration’s immigration policies, insisting that such issues were causing significant harm to American communities. Despite pushback from debate moderators and evidence refuting his claims, Trump maintained his position, further fueling controversy with his baseless assertions.
