ICE says it arrested 'worst of the worst' in Columbus. Data shows not
The Columbus Dispatch

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested more than 1,400 people in the Columbus area in 2025, five times as many people as it did in 2024, according to an analysis of agency data published by the Deportation Data Project.

That total includes approximately 240 people arrested in Columbus and central Ohio during “Operation Buckeye,” an immigration enforcement blitz that ICE said ran from Dec. 16 to 21, 2025.

Although ICE has celebrated going after “the worst of the worst criminals” in Ohio, the vast majority of people taken into custody had no criminal conviction – less than 7% of arrestees during the heightened enforcement surge in mid-December had a criminal record, according to the Deportation Data Project (DDP) data analyzed by The Dispatch. The DDP collects immigration data from lawsuits and publishes the datasets publicly.

A representative for ICE did not respond to a request for comment.

1. The worst of the worst has a name: it's Stephen Miller

2. Same as everywhere else.

Nosferatu Miller gave them a quota and they're trying to satisfy it with as many brown people as they can pick up off the street.

3. So they arrested Husted, Dewine and

Ramaswami. I think not.

4. ... crank up the hatred for immigrants...

..... " The worst of the worst" is contrive state of perception management that fills the bill and cranks up the hate nicely, but is a fabrication that is devoid of any reality.



They eat the cats, they eat the dogs and they swipe the geese and ducks from the city park pond - to kill them and eat them. Only the most vile people on planet earth would do this.

My daughter's little puppy was on their dinner plate, skinned and gutted, and covered in ketchup, salsa, and cilantro - then they feasted on it in great enjoyment.

( all an atrocious flagrant lie.)

5. It is much, much safer to arrest children, hotel maids, and gardeners than attack armed MS13.
