In a recent social media post, Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski of Ohio stirred up controversy by urging residents to document the addresses of supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris. The post, shared on his personal campaign page, sparked concerns about privacy and potential harassment.

Zuchowski's statement read, "When people ask me... What's gonna happen if the Flip - Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins? I say... write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!" Not stopping there, he added, "Sooo... when the Illegal human 'Locust' (which she supports!) Need places to live... We'll already have the addresses of their New families... who supported their arrival!"

The sheriff, who has been serving in Portage County since 2021 and has an extensive law enforcement background, received backlash for his remarks. Concerns were raised about the potential implications of his call to gather addresses and the potential for privacy violations.

This incident comes at a time when the city of Springfield, Ohio, has been in the spotlight due to an influx of tens of thousands of Haitian migrants. Residents of the town expressed their concerns over the lack of infrastructure to accommodate the growing population and the rise in crime rates. However, local officials have refuted claims of pets being harmed or individuals within the immigrant community engaging in criminal activity.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Portage County Sheriff's Office and Zuchowski for comment, but no response has been received as of yet.

The controversial post has ignited a broader conversation about responsible use of social media by public officials. Many believe that those in positions of authority should exercise caution when sharing divisive statements that can potentially incite harassment or violate privacy rights.

As discussions surrounding immigration and border security continue to generate heated debates, it is important for public figures to engage in respectful dialogue while upholding the principles of fairness and ethical conduct. The incident involving Sheriff Zuchowski serves as a reminder of the growing influence of social media and the need for responsible online communication.

It remains to be seen how this outcry will impact Sheriff Zuchowski and whether any actions will be taken in response to his controversial post.
