3 Arrested In Dearborn ICE Operation: Poilce

DEARBORN, MI — ICE officers arrested three people in Dearborn on Saturday, according to police.

The arrests happened around 8 a.m. Saturday near Warren Avenue and Mead Street in Dearborn, according to police.

Police said federal officials did not notify them about the ICE operation. Federal officials did, however, contact the police department after the arrests were made, according to police.

Police said federal officials have not released the names of those arrested or the reasons for their arrests.

"Communication between federal agencies and local law enforcement helps support public safety and ensures we can respond accurately to residents’ questions and concerns," Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin said. "We encourage federal authorities to communicate with our department when conducting operations in our community."

Patch has reached out to federal officials for more details about the arrests and will update this story when we hear back.

The Dearborn incident comes shortly after a similar incident happened in nearby Canton last month. That ICE operation forced a local elementary school to shelter-in-place. Canton police also said they were not notified ahead of time about the planned operation.
