The city of Springfield, Ohio, has sued the Blood Tribe, alleging that the group engaged in a campaign of harassment and intimidation against the Haitian community, motivated by ethnic and racial hatred. The lawsuit, filed with the help of the Anti-Defamation League, seeks to block the group from making further threats and to impose damages. The Blood Tribe has been accused of bomb threats, death threats, hateful emails and social media posts, as well as harassing voicemails and attempting to lure men to the homes of Haitian residents using dating apps.
The group is accused of “engaging in, and inciting, a campaign of harassment and intimidation, motivated by ethnic and racial hatred"The city of Springfield, Mayor Rob Rue and several others sued the Blood Tribe, its leaders Christopher Pohlhaus and Drake Berentz and seven unnamed followers in U.S. District Court in Dayton.
The court file did not list an attorney for the Blood Tribe. Messages were left at phone numbers listed under Pohlhaus' and Berentz's names. “Members of the Blood Tribe heeded the call,” the filing said. “Over the next few months, the Blood Tribe and its members and associates unleashed a torrent of hateful conduct, including acts of harassment, bomb threats, and death threats, against Springfield residents who spoke out in support of the Haitian community.”
Additional actions the lawsuit alleges against the group included harassing voicemails, hateful emails and social media posts demeaning the plaintiffs and their families. The complaint says that group members also used dating apps to send men looking for drugs and sex to the residents' homes late at night and publicized their personal information with the intent of getting others to join in the harassment.
