U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were spotted in Washtenaw County Wednesday.
ICE presence was documented on video by a local resident near East Forest Avenue and North Prospect Road outside downtown Ypsilanti on Wednesday morning. Agents allegedly detained two men at the scene.
Ypsilanti Ward 2 City Council member Patrick McLean says there was no proper communication with city officials before this operation took place.
“We should know more. I have no expectation that this person who was taken away is going to get any due process. I have no expectation that they’re ever going to see their family in this country again; have no idea.”
McLean says the city will continue not to provide any municipal resources to ICE.
