On Tuesday (1/27/26), we received multiple reports from community members that ICE detained a mother in front of her child in the Ypsilanti area, along with other residents. These situations are deeply distressing for families, especially for children. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to confirm details, as ICE frequently provides no advance notice, does not contact Metro Dispatch, and leaves families, schools, and communities to process the impact on their own in the aftermath.
Based on the information we currently have, ICE activity did not occur on any school grounds. However, it did take place near bus stops in the Ypsilanti community, and it appears that parents connected to local schools were targeted at a bus stop in Ypsilanti during student drop-off times.
I am continuing to seek answers in partnership with our local leaders and schools. Children deserve to feel safe traveling to and from school, and actions like these can undermine that sense of security and cause lasting harm.
My office will continue to be there for our immigrant families. We do not ask about immigration status, nor do we engage in immigration enforcement, and we will continue that practice, as our job is to protect and serve all residents regardless of immigration status. I will continue seeking answers, as any ICE activity especially near bus stops and/or other sensitive locations is deeply disturbing.
Anyone in the Washtenaw area who needs support or resources can contact the WICIR hotline for immigration-related emergencies at 734-355-2707. Legal assistance may also be available through MIRC, depending on the county in Michigan. For those who are able, supporting WICIR and MIRC is encouraged, as these organizations are working under significant strain to meet growing community needs.
I also want to highlight Michigan Senate Bills 508–510 (2025–2026), a legislative package that aims to protect “sensitive locations,” including schools, hospitals, and places of worship, from immigration enforcement actions. I strongly hope these bills are supported to provide clearer protections and additional safeguards for our communities. |
