Our check against the record

The record does not settle it

Checked against No published police record settles this sentence: the Springfield Police Division would have to publish its incident reports, and the city's statements that it had no credible reports are available only as quoted in news accounts.

The record: City of Springfield, Ohio

Context

PolitiFact records the statement as an Instagram post of September 9, 2024. A Springfield city spokesperson told the checker there are no credible reports of it happening, and the check notes that many Haitians in Springfield entered the United States under a federal humanitarian parole program.

Topics: Immigration, Ohio.
