3 People Arrested After Protesting Customs and Border Protection Presence at Ohio State Career Fair
Two Ohio State students were among three arrested for criminal trespass after disrupting a career fair to protest U.S. Customs and Border Protection recruiters.
- On Tuesday, Ohio State University arrested three people for criminal trespass after multiple warnings for disrupting the career fair at the Ohio Union.
- The demonstrations are part of a nationwide movement opposing ICE and related DHS actions, following federal immigration operations and nearly 300 arrests during Operation Buckeye earlier this month.
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection recruiters packed up roughly 30 minutes after the career fair in the Grand Ballroom and Performance Hall, which included more than 150 employers.
- Two of those arrested were Ohio State students, university officials confirmed, and the fair continued until 5 p.m. with protesters lingering in the Ohio Union.
- Protests have spread across central Ohio, including the Ohio Statehouse and hotels, while U.S. Customs and Border Protection declined interviews and cited $60,000 incentives for newly appointed agents.
