ICE Raids Dozens of Convenience Stores in Massive Move… But Look What the Media's Hiding
2017-06-04
[TopRightNews] President Trump unleashed ICE once again this week, this time deploying its Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit, along with the DEA to arrest dozens of convenience store owners across 4 states.

Over 60 people were arrested, and already 35 of them have been indicted by a Federal grand jury, with federal conspiracy charges for money laundering, distributing controlled substances and trafficking contraband cigarettes.

The AP carried this story:
Illegal profits form the contraband cigarette sales were laundered through accounts associated with the stores, and used to manufacture and distribute illegal controlled substances.

A synthetic drug, K-2, was sold every day from a handful of the convenience stores. Authorities said the store owners manufactured synthetic drugs themselves by importing chemicals from China.


But here's what the Associated "Press" didn't think you needed to know…the names of those indicted.

See if you notice any pattern…

Here is some additional salt for the 'Convenience Store' wound. Please do not open link without being comfortably seated.

#5  Dozens?
Should be thousands of known hotspots by now.
No resources or channels to process the captives I suppose.

#2  A strategy many will not see. Tactics they will excuse.

#1  Moderate Muslims. Seriously. If you ever had to do business with Muslim business owners, you catch on real quick about how their culture implores them to take advantage of the non-Muslim for profit.
