HOWARD COUNTY, Md. (7News) — A Howard County, Maryland, councilwoman said she was merely trying to warn her community about an immigration enforcement operation, but instead, it turned out to be an undercover sting targeting child sex predators.
"This was a bunch of unmarked cars, not completely identifiable law enforcement," said Liz Walsh, the Howard County District 1 councilmember.
She is defending herself on Tuesday about the post she put on Facebook over the weekend.
The post said, 'We're hearing that there is an ICE operation happening in Howard County by the Verona Apartments in Oakland Mills, behind the village center. They expect a bus from Thunder Hill Elementary School to be the target. LA Mart and the elementary school have been notified. Please stay safe folks.'
