Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said he is ordering an investigation into ways to stop what he describes as “extreme population growth” due to migrants coming into the city of Springfield.
Allegations by some residents that Haitian immigrants are eating park ducks, cats, and other animals received national attention this week, with politicians, including Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), talking about it.
In a news release, Yost did not refer to any specific allegations but stated that Springfield, a city with a population of about 58,000, “has swollen by more than a third due to migrants.”
He cited residents’ reports of immigrants “stealing property … including livestock, squatting in homes, and killing wildlife for food.”
“How many people can they be expected to take? What are the limits to the federal government’s power? Could the federal government simply funnel into Ohio all the millions of migrants flooding in under the current administration’s watch?” Yost asked.
The attorney general added that “there’s got to be a limiting principle,” and “we’re going to find a way to get this disaster in front of a federal judge.”
