Remember, when they start on #Springfield, #Ohio, the estimated 12,000 to 15,000 ( 1 in 4 residents) of #Haitians that live in Springfield, do so with a mixture of temporary protected status, citizenship, and other legal status.

Springfield, a central Ohio city of 60,000 where as many as one in four residents are Haitian, is bracing for an influx of federal immigration enforcement officers #USPol #ICE #WineMoms

🔗 The original ‘wine moms’ are in Ohio. They’re mobilizing to support Haitians in Springfield. https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/02/16/the-original-wine-moms-are-in-ohio-theyre-mobilizing-to-support-haitians-in-springfield/

#Republicans are extremely #mad that #CBS #factchecked #ShadyVance's #lies about #Haitians.

Vance repeated his #falseclaim that "#illegal #immigration" was causing a #PetEating #crisis in #Springfield, #Ohio.

"What Higgins wrote is despicable, but he got permission to write it from Donald Trump and J.D. Vance."

"The Republican party is always going to struggle to disassociate itself from cranks and racists. But it becomes futile even to try when a racist crank sits atop the party as god-emperor."

"Higgins has styled himself a 'Cajun John Wayne,' which again is code for 'willing to commit violence in the name of white justice.' The GOP is now openly racist and proud of it, but the hate and violence was always just on simmer, ready to boil over as soon as the heat could be turned back up by a demagogue like Trump."

"As the Washington Post reported, back in 2016 Higgins, the 'brash, outspoken captain of the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s office' in Louisiana, resigned after appearing in a video calling a group of predominantly black gang members 'animals,' 'thugs' and 'heathens.'

Higgins’s behavior is part of a long pattern of using his office to promote racism, violence and lies."

Kuo notes:

"Higgins also has a telling, disturbing past in law enforcement, having had to resign twice from different police forces. The first was from the Opelousas police force in 2007 after assaulting an unarmed Black man and lying about it. ….

The second incident bears remarkable similarity to his tweet yesterday that created a political storm."

Jay Kuo comments on the vile racist tweet Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins made yesterday attacking Haitian immigrants and telling them to get "their ass out of our country before January 20th.”Higgins later deleted the tweet. A screenshot of it is in Kuo's posting.
