Springfield Sues Neo-Nazis Over Haitian Intimidation
The city of Springfield, Ohio, filed a lawsuit against the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe, alleging a campaign of harassment and intimidation targeting those who supported the city’s Haitian community. The lawsuit, supported by the Anti-Defamation League, seeks to prevent further threats and obtain damages for the racially motivated attacks, which included bomb threats, death threats, and public displays of Nazi symbols. The Blood Tribe allegedly exploited false claims about the Haitian community, amplified nationally, to incite violence and harassment. The plaintiffs allege the group’s actions caused significant distress and disruption within the city.
