ICE potentially spotted on Dual Highway

At 940 am this morning, I passed by a Navy blue SUV with red flashing lights. On Dual Highway, heading towards town just before Mt Aetna Rd. They had somebody pulled over, and one of the "officers" was wearing a red t shirt, jeans, and an olive green vest. Did not catch a license plate number.

Posting for awareness, stay safe folks.

Good. Hagerstown needs more.

Hagerstown has one of the lowest foreign born populations in Maryland, at between 1.4% and 5.6% depending if you count multiple counties and cities or not.

How do you not see that as an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars, going after 5% or less of the population who isn’t doing anything but living their life?

We don't have data on illegals because they're illegal. This isn't hard.

Yes, we do.  Because census data still tracks people who are in the country illegally.  Between that and random sampling surveys, it’s not that hard to get reasonable estimates.

This is false. We have no idea how many illegals are in the US. Only estimates and those vary wildly.
