ICE Agents In Summit, At Least One Person Arrested: Police

SUMMIT, NJ — Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers made an arrest in the City of Summit on Wednesday, Police Chief Ryan Peters said.

Summit Police were notified earlier in the day by the United States Department of Homeland Security that officers were acting on a warrant within the community.

The person was taken into custody without conflict.

Peters said his department was not involved, or called by any residents or law enforcement to aid in the operation.

"Since my appointment as Chief...this is the first time the Summit Police Department has been informed of federal immigration enforcement being conducted in Summit," he added. "We are unsure if future notifications will take place."

Peters reminded residents that Summit continues to abide by the New Jersey Immigrant Trust Directive. Read More: ICE Activity Prompts Response From Leaders In Union County
