I don't think there are.  IIRC, the 20k number is the population of
Springfield.  Nationwide, per Kamala Harris, there are 50-100K Haitian
immigrants that are under Temporary Protective Status (TPS).

I am not certain what we are protecting them from, though, aside from maybe
themselves.

> Someone planted them there intentionally

The mayor said he believes some company/ies is/are taking money to relocate
them and chose to put them there.  That was in an article from the
Springfield paper that I posted here previously.

> They are camping in peoples' yards without invitation

That comes from one of the residents who spoke out at a city commission
meeting in late August.

> They are eating/sacrificing cats

That comes from social media posts and may be false.

> They got free cars

You are the only one I have seen who claims someone is giving them cars.
They may have bought them.

> They are smashing their free cars because they suck at driving

That comes from one (or more) of the residents who spoke out at a city
commission meeting in late August.  In the past couple of days, the NY Post
has reported about a traffic incident involving a Haitian migrant in Ohio.
I have not found any such claims in any news sources from Ohio (yet).

Someone in another echo on another network claimed to have knowledge of
Ohio-sourced articles but, when I asked them to include a few, they sent me
more social media posts.

Yes, could be either.
