Clay Higgins' controversial post calling Haitian migrants 'thugs, slapstick gangsters' in spotlight after he opposes Epstein files' release

Representative Clay Higgins was the sole dissenter against a bipartisan bill mandating the release of Jeffrey Epstein's case files. Clay Higgins, a Trump ally, had posted about Haitian migrants and casted racist slurs on them in a social media post, which he deleted later. Even Trump and JD Vance made false claims that Haitian immigrants ate the pets of residents in Springfield, Ohio.
