The Truth:
Federal ICE agents took part in a raid on more than a dozen of convenience stores in the St. Louis area, and 35 men were arrested on charges related to selling illegal cigarettes and synthetic drugs.
Reports about the arrests surfaced in local St. Louis-area media reports immediately after ICE convenience store raids in May 2017, and those reports filtered into fringe publications after a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release a list of 35 people with Arabic names who were indicted.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said the raids were also tied to the illegal sale of cigarettes.

We had `Asians’ here in Muncie, `America’s Hometown’ selling bath salts and other poisons out of convenience stores to kids. These reptiles are where they belong now—deported or in prison.
Twenty-five years of neglect of our immigration laws by four administrations, being addressed in 2017. It won’t all get fixed right away. Get ICE more money.
If blacks had any leadership that is thinking rationally, they'd realize that President Trump's agenda of US jobs for US citizens and promoting vocational education serves them well. It's the dems who have made their situation worse during eight years of Obama.
That only works if somebody actually wants a job, instead of just living off of free cash from the welfare sugar daddy. My guess is the only paid job most of BLM has ever had is as a protester.
Illegal cigs or illegal muzzies? ICE handles the humans. ATF handles the tobacco.
The ICE man cometh.
Illegal cigarette sales has become a way for muslim animal maggots to make untaxed money. Don’t buy from these animals they mean us harm.
The Federal ICE agents must be happy to get back on the job and stop changing diapers and making Tacos
Well, except in that case, the domestic savages would then rob and kill them.
If it were hard working people vs thugs in their own neighborhoods, they just might figure out they have responsibilities.
What did Joe Biden say about 7-11 clerks?
River front times is about as LEFT wing as you can get.
Who the heck is Dale “Garbin, 60, Kankakee, IL”? Must be feeling the Bern?
