snip-"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 280 immigrants between Dec. 16 and Dec. 21 during its "Operation Buckeye" initiative, which happened in Columbus and across Ohio.

A Homeland Security release said those arrested included people convicted of drug trafficking, criminal firearm possession and assaulting a police officer.

In a statement Friday, the Ohio Immigrant Alliance said, “the administration has a documented record of lying about immigrants’ criminal histories and gang affiliations. It also refuses to answer questions from the media or provide transparent evidence of its claims."

4. It would be interesting to have a cost breakout for this operation

How much did it cost us to arrest 280 people in Ohio, including a drug dealer, someone with an illegal firearm and someone who assaulted a police officer.
Remember when we were told that ICE would be going after the worst of the worst? They didn't tell us they would be recruiting them.

8. That bus stop is in front of an apartment complex that is 75% Somali

So ICE got to terrorize Africans, Hispanics and an old white woman.
