Thanks to our partners at Haitian Bridge Alliance, we can hold Donald Trump and JD Vance accountable!! 🇭🇹✊🏾🇭🇹
The Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, has long sought accountability for the harmful rhetoric directed at its members. Today, that call for action was met with decisive steps as the Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA) filed criminal charges against Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance in a municipal court. This landmark move signifies a critical moment in the fight against the malicious comments that have recently targeted the Haitian community.
According to the @HaitianBridge , both Trump and Vance have led efforts to vilify Haitian immigrants by spreading false claims, including the outrageous allegation that Haitian immigrants are consuming pets, such as cats, dogs, and wildlife. These harmful narratives have misrepresented the Haitian community and incited fear and violence within Springfield.
The criminal filing requests that the court affirm probable cause for multiple crimes allegedly committed by Trump and Vance, seeking the issuance of arrest warrants against both individuals. The HBA is represented by civil rights attorney Subodh Chandra, who has successfully represented Tamir Rice’s family in a case against Ohio police.
Guerline Jozef, Executive Director of Haitian Bridge Alliance, expressed the urgency of this legal action:
“HBA filed this criminal charge to hold Trump and Vance accountable for the harm they caused our community in Springfield and has impacted Haitians around the United States. Thirty-three bomb threats have been reported across Springfield within the last two weeks. Hospitals, schools, universities, and government offices were evacuated after receiving racially charged threats. Springfield government officials and their families received threats. Trump and Vance’s lies have harmed the Springfield community and violated criminal law. HBA is non-partisan; this is not about one candidate or political party. This is about confronting white supremacy, anti-Black rhetoric, and hate speech that continues to cause suffering. No one is above the law.”
