Description:

Since Donald Trump falsely accused migrants in Springfield, Ohio of eating pet dogs and cats, the US city has made headlines around the world and has been thrown into chaos.

Bomb threats have shut down schools and Haitian migrants feel intimidated in their adopted home. 

So, what’s life really like there for long term residents and the thousands of migrants who breathed new life into Springfield, while also straining services including health and education?

Today, Associated Press reporter Julie Carr Smyth takes us to Springfield, a city that’s been rocked by a lie.
