Trump’s ‘mass deportation’ threat evokes images of WW2 internment camps – Times of India

WASHINGTON: The Springfield, Ohio woman whose social media post sparked rumors of Haitians eating pet cats says she heard it from a friend who heard it from an acquaintance who heard it from another friend's daughter.

And even walking off with their pets.”However, the actual disruption in Springfield came from a bomb threat at City Hall, which led to early school closu...
