YPSILANTI, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office said U.S. and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested one person in Ypsilanti on Thursday.

While agents stopped at several other locations, officials said rumors of mass arrests in that area are untrue.

Washtenaw County Sheriff Alyshia Dyer issued a press release, which said officials made a search between 9-9:30 a.m. at the 14A-2 District Court in Ypsilanti on Thursday. She said her office was not notified in advance of ICE being in the area or the operation.

Dyer said one federal agent entered the courthouse for a few minutes looking for a certain person on the docket. The agent then left and waited outside before officials arrested one person a mile from the court building.
