Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance , claimed Haitian immigrants in Ohio have been stealing and eating household pets.

Such claims have a long, unpleasant history in American culture, authors say.

Politicians and their supporters have sometimes amplified the claims, but more often they are spread as rumors, often boosted by uncritical media reports.

Springfield , Ohio , has been forced to investigate 33 bomb threats at schools in recent days .

Dozens of officers from the state highway patrol have been assigned to be present in the city's schools.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has called the claims of immigrants eating pets "garbage".
