ICE operations in Columbus, across Ohio result in 280 arrests [View all]

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."
