Conservative media figures and influencers have descended on Springfield, Ohio, spreading a viral racist rumor about Haitian migrants. They are using misleading content, including AI-generated images and videos, to support their claims. This has led to tangible harm for the city's Haitian community, with reports of fear, vandalism, and even bomb threats.
Right-wing media figures and influencers have descended on Springfield, Ohio, hunting for anything that can help them prove the veracity of a viral racist rumor about Haitian migrants in the community — and relying on misleading, occasionally AI-generated content to help them prove their point. Springfield, which has seen its Haitian population grow by an estimated 15,000 people, has become a sort of shorthand for conservatives’ fears about immigration and demographic change.
The rumor has had tangible effects on Springfield, particularly its growing Haitian community. The Haitian Times reports that some families chose to keep their children home from school, fearing violent attacks. One Haitian woman, who says she’s lived in Springfield for six years, told the Times that her car was recently vandalized.
