Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine dismissed claims that some Haitian or other immigrants have eaten pets in Springfield, the Ohio city at the center of a nationwide immigration controversy, while the state’s attorney general has said there is at least one credible claim of immigrants capturing geese.
Dewine responded, “This is something that came up on the internet, and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes.”
“Look, the mayor … of Springfield says there’s no truth in that. They have no evidence of that at all,” added DeWine, whose family operates a charity in Haiti that has built a network of schools in the impoverished country. “So if we go with what the mayor says, he knows his city.”
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on Wednesday said that there are credible claims of immigrants capturing geese for food.
