Ohio Republicans introduce multi-bill package to mandate cooperation with ICE
Hello Everyone! Long time since I've posted here but saw this item on the ABC6 website.
Scared the %@!! out of me when I read it.
I have not seen mention of these new law proposals anywhere else. Hoping the DU Ohio peeps can give it some traction. Thanks in advance.
