JAKARTA - Schools in Springfield City, Dayton, Ohio, United States (US) increased their security following the hoax issue of Haitian immigrants, Africa stealing and eating cats.

Haitian immigrants are known to be widespread in the Springfield area.

The hoax issue went viral on social media and was strengthened after the dissemination of the candidate pair (paslon) Donald Trump-JD Vance who ran in the 2024 presidential election.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has instructed authorities to send three dozen state police officers to provide additional security to schools in Springfield after a number of bomb terrors.

"Look, parents are scared, and when parents are scared, we need to react. And I don't blame them," DeWine said in an interview with CBS News, Monday afternoon, September 16.

According to DeWine, many threats come from abroad. He said those who terrorized schools in Springfield wanted to spark disputes in the area.

The Republican governor has also dismissed the issue of Haitian immigrant hoaxes eating cats by saying there have been no reports so far of entering officials at Springfield.

"The internet is the internet. Crazy things happen on the internet. You read crazy things all the time. It spreads. And I think sometimes, you know, that's what happens. So my job, I think, and the mayor's job, is to say, 'Look, this is not true,'" said DeWine.

The decision to place state police guarding schools in Springfield after students at two elementary schools in the area had to be evacuated due to bomb terror.

The threat also concerns two local universities where the campus finally decides its students to learn to teach online or online for a while.

In fact, this issue has made major cultural festivals in Springfield canceled on the grounds of security precautions.

"If they withdraw a little of their words, this can help our environment. This will help. We need help, not hate. We need help," added Springfield Mayor Rob.

Previously, the issue of Haitian immigrants eating cats at Springfield was openly conveyed by Donald Trump when facing his rival Kamala Harris in the 2024 US Presidential Election debate on Tuesday, September 10.

Since the issues Trump led to the debate, a number of schools, universities, and hospitals in the Springfield region have received several bomb and shooting threats.

However, on Saturday, September 14, Trump's vice-presidential candidate, JD Vance, continued to raise this hoax issue to the public via video on his X account.
