The lawsuit came following the claims the Republican politicians made about Haitian migrants in Springfield eating their pets. Dozens of bomb threats were reported, which caused safety concerns.

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the court announced it found no probable cause to issue the warrants or misdemeanor charges against Trump and Vance.

Instead, the case will go to the city prosecutor’s office. The prosecuting attorney will review whether felony charges should be issued.

“We take any actions that disrupt the public services or spread misinformation seriously and remain committed to maintaining public order,” a spokesperson for the city of Springfield said in a statement.

At least 15,000 Haitian migrants arrived in Springfield over the past several years. They have been granted temporary protected status to be in the United States legally.

Critics said the migrants have been unlawfully protected from deportation.

A PANEL OF JUDGES IN OHIO REJECTED A HAITIAN GROUP’S REQUEST TO ISSUE ARREST WARRANTS AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND J-D VANCE.

IN SEPTEMBER, “THE HAITIAN BRIDGE ALLIANCE” ASKED THE CLARK COUNTY COURT TO CHARGE TRUMP AND VANCE ON SEVERAL COUNTS INCLUDING DISRUPTING PUBLIC SERVICES AND MAKING FALSE ALARMS.

THIS WAS FOLLOWING THE CLAIMS THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS MADE ABOUT HAITIAN MIGRANTS IN SPRINGFIELD EATING THEIR NEIGHBOR’S PETS. 

DOZENS OF BOMB THREATS WERE REPORTED WHICH CAUSED SAFETY CONCERNS. 

ON SATURDAY, THE COURT ANNOUNCED THEY FOUND NO PROBABLE CAUSE TO ISSUE THE WARRANTS OR MISDEMEANOR CHARGES AGAINST TRUMP AND VANCE. 

THE CASE WILL NOW GO TO THE CITY PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE, WHERE THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY WILL REVIEW WHETHER FELONY CHARGES SHOULD BE ISSUED.  

A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD ISSUED A STATEMENT THAT SAID IN PART “WE TAKE ANY ACTIONS THAT DISRUPT PUBLIC SERVICES OR SPREAD MISINFORMATION SERIOUSLY AND REMAIN COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING PUBLIC ORDER.”

AT LEAST 15-THOUSAND HAITIAN MIGRANTS HAVE ARRIVED IN SPRINGFIELD OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE BEEN GRANTED “TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS” TO BE IN THE U-S LEGALLY. 

CRITICS SAY THE IMMIGRANTS HAVE BEEN “UNLAWFULLY PROTECTED” FROM DEPORTATION.
