You say "they". I think this was pure Trump off the rails, and his handlers were probably screaming in the back.
He didn't just make it up, he's repeating what he sees in rightwing media.
They made it up, and they are the ones I was refusing too.
trump is like an elderly parrot that just screeches whatever he's heard recently
I think it was from a Facebook post of some conspiracy theorist, and may have been based on a lady in Canton Ohio that was having an episode from drug addiction and for some reason ate her cat. But conspiracy theriost turned it into immigrants because that's what you do when also having a break from reality.
Apparently JD Vance has been preaching about it for the last week, or something. That's where he got it from.
Vance, Hannity, Gym Jordan, Ted Cruz, Elon Musk, Marge Green, and probably many more Republicans have amplifying this message for a week or two already. I think that's people to qualify as "they".
I don't want to search online right now, but I will if someone is interested in sources for each of those names with this lie.
