Geoff Bennett:
Last September, the small city of Springfield, Ohio, became a flash point in the national conversation around immigration, when then-vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance amplified a lie, that Haitian immigrants there were abducting and eating pets, which was then repeated by President Trump during the presidential debate. Months later, Springfield is still reckoning with its turn in the spotlight.
