The second man, also a Dearborn resident who owns a business in the metro Detroit area, remains in federal custody. The agent was later seen parking the man’s white work van, which was picked up by one of his employees.
According to video sent to TCD News, at least two Arab American men have been taken into federal custody. Agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol were spotted at several intersections, including Telegraph and Ford Road, Telegraph and Joy Road, and Ford Road and Beech Daly.
In one video, a federal immigration agent is seen driving off in a Dearborn resident’s work van after taking him into custody. Another similar incident occurred near Ford Road and Telegraph, where witnesses said an individual was detained before agents removed a vehicle from the scene.
It’s unclear how many people were ultimately detained or what led to Thursday’s enforcement actions.
This remains a developing story — TCD News will update as more information becomes available.
