ICE operations in Columbus, across Ohio result in 280 arrests

https://www.wosu.org/politics-government/2026-01-09/ice-operations-in-columbus-across-ohio-result-in-280-arrests

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."

the favorite catch all when you do ANYTHING after they tackle you and hit you and try to pull your arm from it's socket.

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.
