On June 30th and number of political groups are calling for a national day of action at ICE facilities around the country in opposition to America's growing network of public and private concentration camps for both adults and children. There has been public outcry at the seemingly ever growing list human rights abuses that America's government carries out against migrants and asylum seekers, sometimes handing out public dollars to private corporations for institutional physical, psychological and sexual child abuse.

While most people associate these facilities with Southern and Southwestern border states, Ohio is home to a few both public and private.

Two days ago, on June 19th, a list of 1595 ICE employees began circulating on the internet. The list of names was taken by searching linkedin for profiles of current ICE employees. The Mockingbird has confirmed the residence of 5 of these in Ohio and included them in the list of facilities provided below in support of this national day of action.

ICE Employees:

Jason Edmister, Deportation Officer, Columbus Office.7801 SYCAMORE RD CENTERBURG OH 43011 Jason was a Marine and a mailman before working for ICE
