Ypsilanti Parents Detained by ICE Near School Bus Stop, Sheriff Says
ICE detained multiple parents near a Ypsilanti bus stop during student drop-off; Ypsilanti Community Schools confirmed no cooperation with ICE and no arrests on school property.
- On Jan. 27, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents took several parents connected to Ypsilanti schools into custody near a school bus drop-off, Ypsilanti Community Schools Superintendent Dr. Alena Zachery-Ross confirmed.
- After a Department of Homeland Security policy reversal noted in a Jan. 30, 2025 statement, the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center reports an uptick in enforcement near sensitive sites, while Senate Bills 508, 509 and 510 aim to protect schools and hospitals.
- The superintendent wrote `There are no words to capture the pain, fear and disruption this causes for our scholars and their loved ones`, and officials said ICE often gives no advance notice, with Ypsilanti Community Schools requiring warrants for access.
- Three detainees are receiving legal help from the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, and Washtenaw County Sheriff Alyshia M. Dyer is coordinating with schools and offering resources to Ypsilanti families and students affected.
- State Sen. Jeff Irwin urged support for Senate Bills 508, 509 and 510, saying `This kind of enforcement in Michigan shouldn't be happening in schools, places of worship and health care facilities or courthouses`, with a Jan. 29 committee hearing scheduled.
