Undercover ICE officers reportedly gave out donuts before raid

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who raided an Ohio gardening and landscaping company on Tuesday initially posed undercover in the company break room, offering free donuts to employees before the raid began.
The Washington Post reports that agents initially showed up in the company's break room offering free Dunkin' Donuts to workers at the rural facility before more agents swarmed the business using helicopters and dogs, handcuffing employees and separating legal workers from undocumented immigrants.
“We’re on a barn, so we can’t escape,” Corso’s Flower and Garden Center employee Salma Sabala told a local NBC affiliate. “They’re armed. They had the dogs. We hear the helicopters on top of us. They took them on a big bus.”
Local media reported that 114 suspected undocumented immigrants were arrested during Tuesday's raid, which followed other recent crackdowns from ICE agents, including raids on dozens of 7-Eleven convenience stores in January.
