Six H-2B visa landscaping workers stopped by ICE agents in Michigan
Sep 11, 2026·Location: Highland Township, MI

Six employees of GLC Property Maintenance, a landscaping company in Highland Township, Michigan, were stopped by nine ICE vehicles while driving to work. The company says all six workers are legally employed in the U.S. on H-2B visas, and agents released them after reviewing their paperwork. Company owner Tyler Ralko, whose parents founded the business 25 years ago, said the employees are hardworking and pay taxes, and he has contacted an immigration attorney and U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin's office seeking clarity on why they were stopped.
