Harris called Trump extreme and laughed after his comment. Debate moderators pointed out that city officials have said the claims are not true.
Trump's comments echoed claims made by his campaign, including his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, and other Republicans. The claims attracted attention this week when Vance posted on social media that his office has received many inquiries about Haitian migrants abducting pets. Vance acknowledged Tuesday it was possible all of these rumors will turn out to be false.
Officials have said there have been no credible or detailed reports about the claims, even as Trump and his allies use them to amplify racist stereotypes about Black and brown immigrants.
