1 Person Arrested During ICE Protest In Detroit

DETROIT, MI — At least one protester was arrested from outside the ICE office in Detroit Friday morning, according to reports. That person may face federal charges, the report said.

WXYZ reported that during the protest and ambulance was called to help a protester who couldn’t walk. The incidents unfolded outside the Enforcement and Removal Operations Field Offices at the corner of East Jefferson and Mt. Elliot Street in Detroit.

A masked protester told Channel 7 their goal was to shut down the immigration office. The protesters said their goal was peaceful, though someone placed a wire and padlock on the gate and one protester was caught on surveillance video spraying another gate with foam insulation.

One protester says the goal is to shut down the ICE office. The Jefferson gate was filled with foam insulation, the Mt Elliot Gate was pad locked and secured with wire. Other than property damage which protesters say happened before they arrived, this is peaceful. @wxyzdetroit https://t.co/HRU9z2mb1u pic.twitter.com/tNYI3gCYPW
