HAZEL PARK, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A Venezuelan man took U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on a chase through Hazel Park before being taken into custody, according to media reports.
The man was identified as Edwin Romero Guiterrez; ICE agents stopped him during a traffic stop. Guiterrez drove away and almost hit another car before driving into the parking lot of an Amazon warehouse and running inside. He was taken into custody in the warehouse after staff security allowed the ICE agents to enter, according to media reports.

Organizations not supportive of ICE’s efforts to deport immigrants have been critical of Amazon’s involvement with the federal government.
“Amazon Web Services is a prime driver of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) incarceration and deportation regime by providing ICE with a host of data storage services,” the Immigration Defense Project stated. “Along with other major tech corporations, Amazon has built a revolving door with the US government to entrench Silicon Valley’s role in expanding the acceleration of ICE’s surveillance, data accumulation, arrest, imprisonment, and deportation of immigrants. ICE cannot wage its war against immigrants without the critical infrastructure support provided by tech corporations like Amazon.”
Amazon has also been criticized for its federal contracts it has with the government. In August 2025, the U.S. General Services Administration announced an agreement with Amazon Web Services that would allow the Donald Trump administration to modernize out-of-date government systems.
