ICE agents conducted a high-risk traffic stop around 9 a.m. on April 14, 2026, near Beakes Street and North Fifth Avenue outside a children's daycare in downtown Ann Arbor, taking the driver into custody. Agents surrounded the vehicle with multiple cars, approached with guns drawn, and left the scene before local police arrived, abandoning the suspect's vehicle in a bike lane. Ann Arbor's mayor and police chief say the arrest occurred without their knowledge or participation, with the mayor criticizing the tactics as designed to intimidate the community. The identity and current location of the arrested individual remain unknown as federal authorities have not responded to requests for information.
