Biden, Harris, Trump Attend 9/11 Ceremony President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Donald Trump paid their respects to those lost in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, at a remembrance ceremony in Manhattan held on the event's 23rd anniversary. Biden and Trump shook hands, and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg appeared to facilitate a handshake between Harris and Trump. Just hours earlier, Harris and Trump participated in their first presidential debate, during which the two candidates also shook hands. Turning to face the crowds, Harris was flanked by Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Next to Biden stood Bloomberg, and on the other side of the former mayor stood Trump and his 2024 running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).

Ohio Sending Troopers to Springfield Over Haitian Influx The governor of Ohio is sending law enforcement and millions of dollars in health care resources to Springfield, a city at the center of a national spotlight over illegal immigration. Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, said he doesn't oppose the Temporary Protected Status program under which some 15,000 Haitians have arrived in the city of about 59,000 people since 2020. In a news conference on Sept. 10, DeWine said that "dramatic surges" in illegal immigrants "impact every citizen of the community," adding that the small Ohio cities of Lima and Findlay also have had influxes. Controversy over migrants in Springfield erupted earlier this month after some social media users said that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, as well as ducks from a park. Local officials said they've had no reports of such activities. People who spoke at town hall events, videos of which were uploaded online, also said that the immigrants frequently crash their vehicles, camp, and squat on locals' property, cannot speak English, and haven't tried to assimilate into the broader American culture.
