Haitian refugees ‘don’t understand the laws,’ former lawmaker says amid fatal wreck, cultural clashes

Former State Rep. Kyle Koehler argues Springfield is a ‘wonderful town’

Former Ohio State Rep. Kyle Koehler discusses the migrant influx in Springfield, Ohio.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – An Ohio town that has seen its population swell with thousands of Haitian refugees has had to battle differences in culture and even driving practices as it adjusts to its new reality.

“We’ve got an influx of folks that have come in, and I think we were a little bit shocked that it was close to 20,000 people in a community of 60,000, and that’s caused some issues between the folks that live here and the folks that are coming in,” former Ohio State Rep. Kyle Koehler told Fox News Digital.

The comments come as Springfield, which is located roughly 50 miles west of Columbus, has entered the national spotlight in recent weeks, most recently when former President Donald Trump pointed to the town during one of his responses in Tuesday’s debate.


“They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats,” Trump said during a response to a question about immigration. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.”

The issue has also caught the attention of Ohio Republican senate candidate Bernie Moreno, who argued that the Biden administration’s “open border” policies “have flooded Springfield, Ohio, with thousands of illegal Haitians who are sucking up social services and destroying a small town here in Ohio.”

“We need to deport illegals, not invite them to wreak havoc on our communities like Sherrod Brown and Kamala Harris have done,” Moreno told Fox News Digital.

While local officials and multiple media outlets have disputed the point that Trump raised in the debate, there is still a new reality faced by longtime members of the Springfield community. Chief among them, according to Koehler, are cultural differences between locals and the Haitian refugees who are new to the town.

Venezuelan Migrants In Denver Face Hardship, Homelessness Amid Struggles for Legal Work

The severe political and economic turmoil in Venezuela has led to a massive number of families reaching the United States in search of a better life. However, several migrants are still destitute, often relying on the kindness of strangers to survive. Some, including pregnant women, have even ended up sleeping on the streets.

It is often not easy to obtain work legally due to the expensive and complicated paperwork. In addition, several people have arrived in communities that are divided over how much support they should give to these newcomers, the Border Report mentioned.

Ivanni Herrera, an immigrant from Venezuela, was asked to leave a Denver homeless shelter with her four-year-old son Dylan last November. She was eight months pregnant then.

Herrera and her son were forced to go into the cold night, pulling a suitcase with donated clothes and blankets she got from the Microtel Inn & Suites. This was one of 10 hotels in Denver where more than 30,000 migrants, many from Venezuela, have stayed over the past two years.

They first walked to Walmart, where they used money they had collected from begging, to buy a tent. They waited until it got dark to set up their new home on a grassy area along a busy road in Aurora, a nearby suburb known for its immigrant community.

El Paso on high alert as dangerous Venezuelan gang described as ‘MS-13 on steroids’ surges into US

Members of Tren de Aragua have already crossed into the US

By Michael Lee Fox News

The Mexican border state of Chihuahua is on alert for members of a violent Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua, or TdA, after receiving reports that members of the gang were moving through the state to cross into the U.S. near El Paso, Texas.

Chihuahua Secretary of Public Safety Gilberto Loya warned Monday that Mexican authorities have seen a large number of individuals they believe are members of TdA operating in the state and passing through to cross the U.S. border with Mexico near El Paso, according to a report from the Latin Times.

The report comes after the Treasury Department in July sanctioned TdA as a transnational criminal organization, noting that the gang has committed human trafficking, extortion, money laundering and drug trafficking that pose a “deadly criminal threat” across the Western Hemisphere.

“Tren de Aragua leverages its transnational networks to traffic people, especially migrant women and girls, across borders for sex trafficking and debt bondage,” the Treasury Department said in a statement at the time. “Tren de Aragua members often kill them and publicize their deaths as a threat to others.”

U.S. officials warned earlier this month that the gang, which originated in Aragua, Venezuela, is infiltrating the U.S., while Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas., has described TdA as “MS-13 on steroids.”

“They’re extremely aggressive. It’s not as if they’re a passive group, or they want to quietly go about things,” Gonzales said in a phone interview with Fox News Digital earlier this month. “They’re coming from Venezuela, one of the most war-torn countries over the last decade. So, they’re battle-hardened in many ways. And they’ve made this trek from there to here. But they are also becoming… more organized and more brazen.”

Members of the gang are suspected of being behind a recent video that captured a group of men armed with handguns and rifles bursting through the doors of an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, that residents say has been overrun by gang activity.

This is organized. They patrol the property with guns visibly, like they’re not trying to hide them. There’s no repercussion. These are ghosts,” said one resident who spoke with Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity.

HARRIS TRIES TO CONVINCE AMERICA THAT SHE GREW UP A POOR BLACK GIRL FROM THE HOOD – ANOTHER LIE BY THE KAMALEON – FOLLOWING THE FOOTSTEPS OF OBAMA

HARRIS’ PARENTS WERE OF THE ELITE, BOTH HAD DOCTORATES.

Her father was a Communist from Jamaica. An island country situated in the Caribbean. Donald Jasper Harris (born August 23, 1938) is a Jamaican-American economist and professor emeritus at Stanford University, known for applying Post-Keynesian (Communist theories) ideas to development economics. Harris claimed he was the son of a slave owner. He earned a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley

Harris’s 1978 book Capital Accumulation and Income Distribution critiques mainstream economic theories, using mathematical modeling to propose an alternative model for thinking about the effects of capital accumulation on income inequality, economic growth, instability, and other phenomena.

Her mother was from Madras India. In 1958 she applied to University of California at Berkeley where she obtained a PhD in nutrition and endocrinology. In her last decade she worked at the Lawrence Laboratory at Berkeley. While attending a Afro-American Association meeting she met her future husband, Donald Harris who was that days speaker. The Afro-American Association was instrumental in establishing the Black Panther Party. There is no doubt that she was heavily influenced by the Berkeley progressive environment.

Harris mostly lived in Berkeley during her younger years, swinging between her father’s house in Palo Alto and her mother’s in Berkeley after they divorced.

Red counties fight blue state’s immigration stance as migrant gangs take over suburbs

Tren de Aragua reportedly gives members green light to attack, kill police

WARNING Graphic footage: Fox News correspondent Danamarie McNicholl has the latest on the rising gang activity on ‘America’s Newsroom.’

As Colorado combats rising gang violence from illegal immigration, six counties are suing the state over a law they say hobbles their ability to tackle migrant crime.

Those counties are battling a state law that prohibits local law enforcement from communicating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The issue is boiling over in the region as at least one Denver suburb is seeing an unprecedented influx of transnational gang activity and armed migrants were recently seen taking over an apartment complex.

El Paso, Elbert, Garfield, Mesa and Rio Blanco counties joined Douglas County in a lawsuit against the state and its governor in April. They argue that HB119-1124, which prohibits local governments from cooperating with the federal government for immigration enforcement, violates the state constitution and is in violation of the U.S. Supremacy Clause, which outlaws state laws from violating federal ones.

“Our local law enforcement would like the ability to communicate with local immigration officials,” Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon said. “We have been apprised that there has absolutely been an increase in property crimes, assault and trafficking, and it’s specific issues with the cartels coming out of Venezuela.”

“[Colorado has] rendered us feeling like we don’t have the tools necessary, and that’s incredibly frustrating,” El Paso County Commissioner Carrie Geitner said.

SANCTUARY CITY’S POLICIES PUSH VIOLENT MIGRANT GANG INTO SUBURBS: ‘IT’S A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM’

In 2019, the bill passed through the state’s House of Representatives, 36-28, with nearly every Republican representative voting nay. Several Democrats also opposed the bill.

That May, the bill passed through the state Senate in another party-line vote and into law, 20-15, with one Democrat also opposing.

The counties also argue against HB23-1100, which prohibits local governments from entering into intergovernmental agreements with ICE or another federal body to get around the law. This law was enacted after nearby Teller County, which is not involved in the suit, entered a 287 (g) agreement with ICE to hold migrants arrested there. Colorado’s appeals court ruled the practice illegal under state law. 

“Even before we decided to get into this lawsuit, we had encouraged Denver to consider what they might be attracting to our area,” Geitner told Fox News Digital. “It’s a huge concern. We’re watching it trickle out, and we’ve been ringing the alarm bells on this for the last couple years.”

Officials in Aurora, a city within Douglas County nine miles east of Denver, previously told Fox News Digital that the notorious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua had developed a strong foothold in their community, putting “entire apartment complexes under gang control.”

Days later, video went viral of armed members of the gang storming an Aurora apartment complex just before a shoot-out occurred in the parking lot.

“Parts of the city are absolutely under this gang control. The local media is downplaying this,” Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky said. “I believe politics is being played with people’s lives. … Nothing is being done to help the American citizens that are being trapped under this gang’s control.”

The handful of red counties suing Colorado don’t share the sanctuary city policies that brought more than 40,000 migrants to Denver, and several instituted their own laws in an effort to barricade themselves against migrant populations expanding outward. Douglas County, for example, outlawed unscheduled buses from stopping in their community, threatening to fine each bus up to $1,000.

“We feel that it simply doesn’t make any sense for a law enforcement agency to not have the ability to work with any other law enforcement agency but then have a restriction on our ability to work with immigration,” El Paso County Commissioner Stan VanderWerf said of his county’s decision to join the lawsuit.

AURORA POLICE REACT TO ALLEGED VENEZUELAN GANG PRESENCE AT APARTMENTS: ‘HAVE NOT TAKEN OVER’

“It’s been decades and decades and decades of working with them just to help a community be safer. Then this law was passed, and it simply makes no sense to us – we don’t think it’s appropriate.”

Vander Werf told Fox News Digital that in one instance, a man arrested on probable cause for child molestation was found to be an illegal immigrant. 

“What used to happen before was that they would communicate with ICE and ICE would issue a warrant for a hold. Then we would hold that person until ICE could come to our jail, and they could pick them up,” VanderWerf said.

“Instead, [this person] went to a hearing and a judge set bail. This person paid that bail and then was released. He has disappeared. We have no idea where that person is. That person is not re-engaging with law enforcement.”

Geitner told Fox News Digital that although it is “frustrating” to see Aurora’s gang problem in national news headlines after years of warning Denver of this sort of outcome, it is also “encouraging” that people are being shown “what is going on.”

“The local media doesn’t want to cover a lot of what’s been happening [with migrant crime],” she said. “We have local media that still have not acknowledged the problems that have been created.

“It’s incredibly frustrating to be in a state where our state government is completely ignoring reality. We have been telling our state government this is very problematic. I hope that they will take note. I don’t have a lot of confidence. We are seeing the leadership in our state not wanting to accept reality.”

“People need to know what’s happening, they need to know the effects of these policies. We’re asking our states, we’re asking our federal government, please fix the border, please fix the problem,” Geitner said, adding that she “never thought we’d be having a discussion about the effects of having an open border in our community” when she took office in 2018.

Democrat Gov. Jared Polis could not be reached for comment on the lawsuit.

Chris Swecker, the former head of the FBI’s criminal investigation division, previously told Fox News Digital that this influx of gang members was “predictable and preventable” and that federal law enforcement agencies would be needed to combat it.

“At this point, federal agencies should get involved,” he added. “The bureau has to get involved with ATF and DEA, share their intelligence and approach this as an international crime problem.”
