Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said he is ordering an investigation into ways to stop what he describes as “extreme population growth” due to migrants coming into the city of Springfield.

Allegations by some residents that Haitian immigrants are eating park ducks, cats, and other animals received national attention this week, with politicians, including Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), talking about it.
