ICE Arrests Parents Near Michigan School Bus Stops, District Says Ypsilanti, Michigan — Multiple parents of students in Ypsilanti Community Schools were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Tuesday during enforcement activity near school grounds and bus stops, according to district and county officials. Superintendent Alena Zachery-Ross informed families in a letter that ICE activity occurred around school campuses, though she did not specify which schools were involved. She emphasized that no students were detained and said the district did not cooperate with the federal operation. “Our district policy remains unchanged,” Zachery-Ross wrote, stating that ICE is not granted access to school property without a valid judicial warrant. Washtenaw County Sheriff Alyshia Dyer confirmed to local media that arrests took place at a bus stop during student drop-off times. She said the exact number of parents detained was not immediately available, noting that ICE does not routinely notify local law enforcement about its operations. District officials said they are coordinating with the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office to monitor campus boundaries and ensure student safety. Zachery-Ross described the impact on families as deeply disruptive, writing that the detentions undermined the sense of security students and parents expect around schools. “We stand in absolute solidarity with those who have been impacted,” she said. The incident comes amid heightened concern nationwide following the Trump administration’s decision earlier this month to rescind guidance limiting immigration enforcement near sensitive locations, including schools. ICE did not respond to requests for comment as of publication.
