Ohio Sheriff Removed from Election Security After Controversial Facebook Post

Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski deleted a post suggesting Harris supporters' addresses be recorded for housing immigrants, sparking public and legal backlash.

Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski deleted a Facebook post calling immigrants 'human locusts' and suggesting Harris supporters' addresses be noted for housing migrants.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio threatened legal action, arguing the post constituted an unconstitutional threat against residents displaying political yard signs.
The Portage County Board of Elections voted to remove the sheriff's office from election security duties during early voting, citing concerns of voter intimidation.
The sheriff's comments followed unfounded rumors spread by Donald Trump and JD Vance about Haitian immigrants in Ohio.
Zuchowski's supporters argued the post was a political statement on immigration and an exercise of free speech, while opponents viewed it as a veiled threat.
