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:

(T)he suspects conspired for more than 2 years to buy contraband cigarettes in St. Louis, a low tax market, while transporting and distributing them
in Chicago, Illinois, and New Jersey, which are high tax markets. The store owners are accused of using several convenience stores that they operated to create the appearance of legal cigarette purchases.



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.



"The collaboration with our federal and local law enforcement partners is the key to breaking criminal enterprises in this area," said Special Agent
in Charge James M Gibbons of HSI Chicago.



"Synthetic drugs that are sold as substitutes for cocaine and methamphetamine, are neither legal nor safe," said James P. Shroba, Special Agent
in Charge of the DEA St. Louis Division. "These substances were never intended for human consumption and only serve to satisfy the avarice of the seller."

If convicted, the defendants face a maximum of five to 20 years in prison and the a $1 million dollar fine.

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

That's right...every single one of the 35 men indicted is Muslim. Nothing to see here, huh?

And there's more. According to sources, "at least 20" of the men are being held on additional "immigration
detainers" by ICE. That means they are "suspected illegal aliens."



The AP didn't feel you needed to know that either. I'm sure it just slipped their minds.

This is just the latest in a continuing series of Muslim-owned convenience store criminal enterprises.

As TRN reported,
in 2015 state authorities in Alabama uncovered a massive, EBT-for-terrorism
scheme in which Muslim-owned convenience stores exploited the U.S. welfare system to fund ISIS:

The massive probe, dubbed Operation T-bone, targeted those they say have been cheating the food stamp system to the tune of hundreds
of thousands of dollars and sending the profits via wire transfer to Yemen, some of which is suspected to have funded
Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist activity.





And back then it was Alabama D.A. who led the investigation — not the
Obama keystone cops, who strangely had nothingto do with that bust.



All 11 stores shut down by authorities were Muslim-owned.
