The Haitian group filed criminal charges under an Ohio statute that allows private citizens to do so.
Trump and Vance have been charged with multiple offenses including disrupting public services and making false alarms.
The affidavit stated the two disrupted public service by “causing widespread bomb and other threats that resulted in massive disruptions.”
More than 30 bomb threats have been reported after Trump’s comments at the presidential debate with Kamala Harris.
The filing asks the Clark County Municipal Court to proclaim there is probable cause and issue arrest warrants against Trump and Vance.
The communications director for the Trump-Vance campaign responded, “President Trump is rightfully highlighting the failed immigration system that Vice President Kamala Harris has overseen, bringing thousands of illegal immigrants pouring into communities like Springfield and many others across the country.”
Some of the Haitians living in Springfield said they feared for their safety as public vitriol increased.
Ohio state law will require a hearing to take place before the affidavit can move forward.
