ICE agents arrested five undocumented immigrants, including one person with a final order of removal, during an operation near Hulsing Elementary School in Canton, Michigan on Tuesday morning. Agents approached six individuals who ran toward the school, prompting Canton police to place the school under a shelter-in-place for just over an hour. The arrests occurred about a quarter mile from the school and did not take place on school property; no ICE agents entered the building. Police said neither the department nor the school district had prior knowledge of the enforcement activity.
