Luis Jaime-Fortin was involved in a traffic crash in Zilwaukee on July 7, 2026, after allegedly failing to yield. Police reported he could not provide a driver's license, proof of insurance, vehicle registration, or speak English. Zilwaukee Police Chief Jason Wise contacted federal immigration authorities to verify the driver's identity due to lack of documentation, though the chief stated the driver would not be taken into custody for the traffic offense but would receive a citation to appear in court. Jaime-Fortin was later believed to be among the nine workers arrested in the July 25 fiber optic worksite raid in Saginaw Township.
