SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — A sleepy Ohio city-turned-center of the political universe has faced an onslaught of bomb threats in recent weeks over baseless conspiracy theories about its population of Haitian migrants.

Now it’s bracing for another challenge: A possible visit from Donald Trump.

The former president — who threw Springfield, Ohio, into disarray earlier this month when he falsely claimed an “invasion” of Haitian migrants here were eating cats, dogs and geese — declared at a recent campaign rally that he planned to visit the city in the coming weeks, though it’s unclear if he actually will come. And although he has not announced an appearance date, some residents are welcoming the visit — while others are readying themselves for impact.

“I think everybody needs to be heard, but I feel like you’re adding fuel to the fire,” said Amanda Jones, a nurse practitioner in the area. “Resources are already spread super thin in this area, not only for the people’s safety that’s going to attend, but also for the candidate’s safety as well, because it’s a very divisive time right now.”

Springfield Mayor Rob Rue, a Republican, urged Trump not to come, saying during a press conference last week it would “undoubtedly place additional demands on our safety infrastructure.”

“Should he choose to change his plans, it would convey a significant message of peace to the city of Springfield,” Rue said, adding that the city is “committed to ensuring that the event proceeds safely and smoothly for both the residents and visitors.”

Trump’s campaign did not provide specifics on Trump’s plans to visit to Springfield. In a statement, Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “While the media may find these stories and experiences unimportant and inconvenient, President Trump will continue giving a voice to Americans who are expressing their concerns about the influx of illegals and rising migrant crime in their communities.”

As of Wednesday morning, the Secret Service — which coordinates campaign event safety with state and local law enforcement — had not informed the state of a planned visit, according to Andy Wilson, director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety.

Still, Wilson said, “obviously, if he comes, it won’t be a surprise.” He promised that state and local law enforcement “will be equipped to handle whatever comes our way.”

A group of congressional Democrats is also planning a trip to Springfield in solidarity with the migrants, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) — who is Haitian American — said Friday at a news conference. Members of the congressional Haitian Caucus on Friday introduced a resolution to condemn racism against the Haitian community.

In the weeks since Trump first claimed at the presidential debate that Haitian migrants were eating pets — which Springfield officials have repeatedly denied — the small Ohio city has contended with dozens of threats that have shuttered schools, government buildings, hospitals and stores.

Police have erected watch towers throughout the city, which now has a pack of bomb-sniffing dogs and a cadre of state law enforcement personnel ready to respond at a moment’s notice, according to Wilson. Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine — who on Friday criticized Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, for “rhetoric” he said “hurts the city and its people” — stationed state troopers at each of Springfield’s public schools for the duration of each school day.

“Locally, the resources are stretched thin, there’s no doubt about it,” Wilson said. But, he added: “The fact that we have a bunch of resources over there already, from a state perspective, makes [a Trump visit] less logistically heavy for us, actually.”

Some residents of Springfield and the surrounding area told POLITICO they were concerned a Trump visit would inflame tensions.

“I definitely don’t want him coming to Ohio,” said Judy Shaw, a Democrat who had joined her Republican partner to attend a town hall with Trump surrogate Vivek Ramaswamy. “I think it wouldn’t bring anything good.”
