Wittenberg University and Clark State College in Springfield , Ohio , receive emailed threats of a bombing and a potential shooting over the weekend .

Springfield has faced a spike in threats in recent days as Republicans continue to advance the false claims about Haitian immigrants in the city.

Springfield police say they received two 911 calls Saturday to report members of the Proud Boys the paramilitary group that stormed the US Capitol on January 6 marching through town.

Rue says he’s working with local law enforcement to address an increase in reckless driving.

Rue also asked the governor for additional funding to improve language services in the local health care system.

He denounced claims that immigrants were harming local pets and animals.

“I just want to clearly say, as a pet lover, your pets are safe in Springfield , Ohio ,” Rue said.
