Cleveland-area heads up
I wanted to share something I personally witnessed today at a barbershop in the Parma area.
A man came in with a child and, during his haircut, asked the barbers a number of questions about their immigration status — including whether they had recently moved here, whether they had asylum or green cards, etc. He also questioned why Arabic was being spoken during a soccer game that was on TV.
His behavior struck me as unusual and suspicious. I have not independently confirmed that this person was an ICE agent, so please don’t treat that as established fact.
That said, given the increased immigration-enforcement activity in Ohio and Northeast Ohio, I thought it was worth sharing as a precaution. Please stay alert, know your rights, and verify information before acting on rumors.
If anyone has verified information about ICE activity in the Cleveland/Parma area this week, please share it through a reliable source.
