Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is deploying the Ohio State Highway Patrol to monitor schools in the city of Springfield after they received 33 bomb threats since late last week, he said at a news conference Monday.Two colleges were moved to virtual learning and two elementary schools were evacuated Monday after receiving separate threats. The threats so far haven맥스카지노�t had 맥스카지노�any validity at all,맥스카지노� DeWine said in a news conference Monday afternoon.The threats and closures come amid ongoing fallout from baseless allegations former President Donald Trump made during the second presidential debate that Haitian immigrants in the city are stealing and eating local pets.Students at Simon Kenton and Kenwood Elementary Schools were evacuated 맥스카지노�to an alternate district location맥스카지노� Monday based on information district officials received from the city맥스카지노�s police, the Springfield City School District said in a release.맥스카지노�These are the fifth and sixth SCSD buildings to be targeted by recent threats within the last week,맥스카지노� the district said.DeWine said 36 troopers from the state patrol맥스카지노�s mobile field force will be present at all 17 school buildings in the Springfield City School District starting Tuesday. The troopers will sweep all school buildings before classes start and will remain on campus to provide security throughout the day and after dismissal, he said.맥스카지노�We have people, unfortunately, overseas who are taking these actions,맥스카지노� DeWine said of those making the threats. 맥스카지노�Some of them are coming from one particular country. We think this is one more opportunity to mess with the United States, and they맥스카지노�re continuing to do that. So we cannot let the bad guys win.맥스카지노�DeWine declined to name the specific country he said some of the threats were coming from, but said the FBI is assisting local law enforcement. When asked why DeWine didn맥스카지노�t want to name the country, a spokesperson for his office said the governor 맥스카지노�does not want to provide encouragement to the bad actors who have engaged in these numerous threats.맥스카지노�Elsewhere in the city, classes at Wittenberg University were held remotely Monday while campus police and local law enforcement assessed emailed threats of a bombing and a campus shooting that targeted 맥스카지노�members of the Haitian community,맥스카지노� the university said in a statement. The university has received five separate threats since Saturday, and most have been resolved, school president Michael Frandsen told CNN Monday. Law enforcement agencies have increased patrols on campus, he said.Nearby Clark State College also announced its campuses will be closed this week and classes will be held virtually after the school also received similar threats through email. Officials at both schools said they were taking the measures 맥스카지노�out of an abundance of caution.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�We understand the anxiety that such incidents can cause and we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness and care,맥스카지노� Clark State said in a statement. 맥스카지노�We will always prioritize the safety and wellness of our students, employees and community. We appreciate your understanding during this challenging time.맥스카지노�Springfield also announced Monday it will cancel its annual arts and cultural festival, scheduled to take place September 27 and 28, amid recent threats and safety concerns.Rob Rue, the city맥스카지노�s mayor, told CNN맥스카지노�s Dana Bash that he and other officials have personally received threats, adding 맥스카지노�it would be helpful맥스카지노� if politicians 맥스카지노�understood the weight of their words and how they could harm a community like ours.맥스카지노�Springfield police told CNN they received two 911 calls Saturday to report members of the Proud Boys 맥스카지노� the paramilitary group that stormed the US Capitol on January 6 맥스카지노� marching through town.맥스카지노�We had a couple calls of their presence in town, but when the officers went to the area, Lexington and South Burnett, they were no longer there,맥스카지노� Sgt. Geovanny Mercado told CNN.Two area hospitals closed Thursday after receiving threats and the following day, two local elementary schools were evacuated 맥스카지노�based on information received from the Springfield Police Division.맥스카지노�In an interview with CNN on Monday, DeWine flatly denied the false rumors about the city맥스카지노�s Haitian immigrants and said business leaders feel Haitian immigrants are 맥스카지노�really essential to them getting the job done.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�These Haitians that are there are legal, they work very, very hard,맥스카지노� the governor said.Approximately 12,000 to 15,000 immigrants live in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat, the city notes on its website. It says Haitian immigrants are there legally as part of a parole program that allows citizens and lawful residents to apply to have their family members from Haiti come to the United States.Officials with the Clark County Sheriff맥스카지노�s Office also debunked allegations that Haitians were stealing geese out of local parks last week, noting police have reviewed 11 months of 911 records and identified two instances of people reporting such incidents, but found no evidence to substantiate the claims.Vice presidential candidate JD Vance was among the first to elevate the baseless rumors about Haitians. CNN맥스카지노�s Dana Bash asked the Ohio Republican to provide evidence supporting the allegations in an interview Sunday on 맥스카지노�State of the Union,맥스카지노� and the senator cited multiple 맥스카지노�firsthand맥스카지노� accounts he said he received from his constituents but provided no further evidence.He also bristled at the idea that repeating the baseless claims has led to a spike in threats in the city. 맥스카지노�There is nothing that I have said that has led to threats against these hospitals. The violence is disgusting, and we condemn it,맥스카지노� Vance said.맥스카지노�All that I맥스카지노�ve done is surface the complaints of my constituents, people who are suffering because of Kamala Harris맥스카지노� policies. Are we not allowed to talk about these problems because some psychopaths are threatening violence?맥스카지노� he added.Vance later said, 맥스카지노�If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that맥스카지노�s what I맥스카지노�m going to do.맥스카지노�When Bash pressed him to clarify whether he was admitting the story was fabricated, Vance reiterated the claims came from his constituents.맥스카지노�I didn맥스카지노�t create 20,000 illegal migrants coming into Springfield thanks to Kamala Harris맥스카지노� policies. Her policies did that,맥스카지노� he said. 맥스카지노�But yes, we created the actual focus that allowed the American media to talk about this story and the suffering caused by Kamala Harris맥스카지노� policies.맥스카지노�Rue, the mayor, told CNN맥스카지노�s Erin Burnett on Thursday that his city has experienced a 25% growth in population in the past three years, in part because of the influx of Haitian immigrants.Rue said he맥스카지노�s working with local law enforcement to address an increase in reckless driving and asked the governor for additional funding over the next two years to improve the language services in the local health care system, but he denounced claims that immigrants were harming local pets and animals.맥스카지노�I just want to clearly say, as a pet lover, your pets are safe in Springfield, Ohio, and it맥스카지노�s odd that I even have to tell the national media, yes, it is, if that맥스카지노�s a fact, but it is a fact,맥스카지노� Rue said.CNN맥스카지노�s Paradise Afshar, Chris Boyette, Kit Maher and Taylor Romine contributed to this report.
