ICE launched ‘Operation Buckeye’ and ‘influencers’ claimed Somalis are running fraudulent businesses after Trump repeatedly used racist language against group in December
The men started showing up at around 6am in late December.
In their cars, they circled the 161 Child Care facility in Columbus, before parking at the front of the building. Then they sat in their cars, opening their windows enough to tell the Somali Americans who own the daycare: “We’re exposing all of you. Every single one of you, you’re all going back.”
Then in the early hours of New Year’s Day, there was a break-in at the daycare.
“It was heart-breaking to me,” said Abukar Mohammed, a part-owner of the business. “I never thought that in America there would be racial things, that this could happen in America. I was shocked.”
