COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The leader of a nonprofit representing the Haitian community invoked a private-citizen right to file charges Tuesday against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, over the chaos and threats experienced by Springfield, Ohio, since Trump first spread false claims about legal immigrants there during a presidential debate.
The Haitian Bridge Alliance made the move after inaction by the local prosecutor, said their attorney, Subodh Chandra of the Cleveland-based Chandra Law Firm.
Charges brought by private citizens are rare, but not unheard of, in Ohio. Examples might be a grocery store charging a customer for a bounced check. State law requires a hearing to take place before the affidavit can move forward. As of Tuesday afternoon, none had been scheduled.
Trump and Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, are charged with disrupting public services, making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing and complicity. The filing asks the Clark County Municipal Court to affirm that there is probable cause and issue arrest warrants against Trump and Vance.
“Their persistence and relentlessness, even in the face of the governor and the mayor saying this is false, that shows intent,” Chandra said. “It’s knowing, willful flouting of criminal law.”
Steven Cheung, communications director for the Trump-Vance campaign, said, “President Trump is rightfully highlighting the failed immigration system that (Vice President) Kamala Harris has overseen, bringing thousands of illegal immigrants pouring into communities like Springfield and many others across the country.”
The 15,000 to 20,000 Haitian immigrants who have arrived in Springfield over the past several years, in many cases after being recruited to local jobs, have been granted Temporary Protected Status to be in the U.S. legally.
More than 30 bomb threats were directed at state and local government buildings and schools, prompting closures, the assignment of additional law enforcement protection and security cameras. Some of the city’s Haitian residents have also said they feared for their safety as public vitriol grew, and Mayor Rob Rue has received death threats.
“If it were anyone else other than Trump and Vance who had done what they’ve done — wreak havoc on Springfield, resulting in bomb threats, evacuated and closed government buildings and schools, threats to the mayor and his family — they would have been arrested by now,” Chandra said. “They are not above the law.”
Chandra said the U.S. Supreme Court’s July ruling granting ex-presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution does not apply in this case because Trump is currently a private citizen and Vance did not amplify the rumors that members of Springfield’s 15,000-member Haitian community were eating people’s pets in his capacity as a senator.

Haitian group in Springfield, Ohio, files citizen criminal charges against Trump and Vance
Charges brought by private citizens are rare, but not unheard of, in Ohio.
I’m assuming (& I’m no lawyer), that he just has somebody up here for him, that plays some YouTube clips of people complaining to the city Council of Springfield OH that predate the debate, & maybe the vest cam footage of the cop trying to quiz that woman in that Springfield driveway with the dead cat (?) and this just goes away unless he wants to countersue for malicious prosecution???
Here is the court docs
Hatians stealing jobs??
Dole, McGregor Metalworking and many other Springfield, OH companies prefer to hire Haitians, because in their words, America's are lazy, on drugs and don't show up for work.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
A sadistic Ohio woman who killed and ate a cat was sentenced to a year in jail for the twisted incident that was caught on video.
Allexis T. Ferrell, 27, of Canton, Ohio, was arrested in August after footage from the horrific act — in which she stomped on a cat’s head, and then ate it — was falsely used as proof of claims by then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating their pets.
“You’ve embarrassed this county. You’ve embarrassed this nation. More importantly, you’ve embarrassed yourself,” Stark County Common Pleas Judge Frank Forchione told Ferrell during her sentencing hearing, according to the Canton Repository.
“To me, you present quite a danger to our community,” Forchione continued. “This is repulsive to me, I mean, that anyone would do this to an animal. And an animal’s like a child. I don’t know if you understand that or not.”
“Absolutely,” Ferrell responded, according to the Repository.
“They bring a lot of love to a lot of people,” Forchione added. “They don’t have a voice. But their only voice today is me and I’m going to exercise this voice very loudly.”
Ferrell was indicted on a charge of cruelty to companion animals on Aug. 21.
She initially pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but after a court-ordered evaluation found she was competent to stand trial, the wicked woman changed her plea to guilty on Monday.
Prosecutors said police arrived at the scene before Ferrell was able to eat much of the cat.
“Officers were able to determine that Allexis had smashed the cat’s head with her foot and then began to eat the cat,” according to a police officer’s account in the arrest report.
“I did observe blood on Allexis’ feet, hands, and fur on her lips.”
After the Ferrell’s arrest, a video showing police bodycam footage was posted online with the headline “Haitian Woman Eats Neighbor’s Cat in Springfield.”
Trump repeatedly said during his presidential debate against Kamala Harris that illegal immigrants in Ohio were eating their pets.
“In Springfield, they are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they are eating the cats. They’re eating … they are eating the pets of the people that live there.”
Soon after the debate, bodycam footage of Ferrell’s arrest hit the internet with the headline “Haitian Woman Eats Neighbor’s Cat in Springfield,” despite the woman being a lifelong Canton resident.
Ferrell received the maximum sentence. The one-year in prison will be served consecutively to a separate 18-month sentence Ferrell was hit with for two prior crimes — a 2019 theft case and a felony count of endangering children, according to court records.
