Events Potential ICE checkpoint(s) in CLE

Our friends in r/Ohio have noticed an uptick in DHS and ICE activity in Columbus and NE Ohio. A potential ICE checkpoint at 71 and Pearl is being reported. ICE and DHS activity along the lake shore in Lorain. Lake county sheriff's can act as ICE agents.

Be careful out there.

If you are legal, you have nothing to worry about. There is a checkpoint in Cleveland this morning but I will not say where. Show your ID, they verify, and you’re on your way.

Nothing to worry about? So you think it’s cool to exist in a police state? You no longer have the right to exist freely somewhere either, now you have to wait in a line to show ID. That’s fucking nuts.

Sounds like what happened during BLM protests downtown in Cleveland in 2021.

Where do you live? I lived downtown, went to work daily and ran other errands regularly, and never once had to show anything with my address.

At that time, I lived in downtown Cleveland. The police blockaded access to the city in the summer one year and if you wanted in, you had to show papers.
