1. Why is this

Post regarding bad things happening in Springfield Ohio here with a little known source? Looked it up elsewhere and couldn't find it anywhere. Looks like a plant to me by our repub. acquaintances. Looks like fake news. Alerted but somehow its still here

2. I too find it extremely curious--the timing, subject, source... I think we are warranted in being suspicious.

4. yes a long investigative piece in the Opinion section of Jewish Journal

seems odd. Although it does reference government investigations so there's something concrete that can be verified.

6. It does not "reference," it alleges. I think this is a trolling piece.

12. I think it 100% is

Totally agree, and it's smear against legal immigrants, who are legal workers and who were invited to Ohio!

3. Marking to see if any other media pick this up. Don't re-post until verified.

5. This is an opinion piece (not journalism) in an unknown source and with no links/attributions for claims made.

The writer has written some pretty extremist pieces (in the same unknown online source) including one DEFENDING MTG.

I think this is unacceptable for DU without further validation.

7. Troll.

8. One of her 2016 pieces: ""I'm a Muslim, a woman, an immigrant. I voted for Trump."​ Washington Post November 10, 2016"

9. LaraInLA: I give you benefit-of-the-doubt, but this piece is sheer RW propaganda. The Haitians in Springfield

were legally here and invited by local businesses in Springfield. There is no evidence presented nor alleged by any authoritative source of human trafficking--after all the majority were welcomed and resettled LEGALLY. This smacks of an intentional "planted story"--which I do not accuse you of intentionally posting. Still, if I were you, I would self-delete.

10. Zero source for this -- it seems made up -- please delete

Haitians there are LEGAL immigrants who were INVITED there, and who LEGALLY WORK there.

11. Not sure of legitimacy,.......Same story, more details of same story, see link.

Not sure of legitimacy.
Not aquainted with source.
Only supplying info should someone want to look deeper into this issue.

A former reporter from WSJ. Investigating the Haitian story in Springfield about eating pets. Stumbled on to this story.

■•■○■○■○■○■○

Nomani revealed FBI anti-trafficking agents and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost are now investigating allegations of human trafficking in Springfield.

What began as my efforts to track down a rumor about animal cruelty has turned into an investigation that reveals a malignant system of labor exploitation involving a local businessman, George Ten, whom Haitians and local residents call "King George," the chief executive at First Diversity Staffing Group Inc., a Springfield company that has been the tip of the spear in the alleged trafficking operation of Haitians to the town.

***

This is a story of unchecked greed and cruelty, committed not by the immigrants, but to the immigrants, with local residents of Springfield also a casualty.

14. Also wrote of voting for Trump in 2016, a defense of MTG, and some very hyperbolic and unsourced

and inflammatory pieces on Jews and Muslims in this country. Wrote for years for the Federalist. Was never a long term WSJ employee but an article or two was picked up as a free lancer. This is a troll source, IMHO.
