Immigration Crackdown: Feds say Detroit immigration agents may have broken rules with school raid

Feds: Detroit immigration agents may have broken rules with school raid | Detroit Free Press | freep.com: "A federal agency said Thursday that its immigration agents in Detroit appear to have violated policies when they targeted a school last week where immigrant parents were dropping off and picking up their children.

Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) followed parents from their homes to Hope of Detroit Academy, a public charter school in southwest Detroit, on March 31. There were about a half-dozen ICE vehicles with tinted windows around the school, said Ryan Bates, who is with the Alliance for Immigrants Rights & Reform Michigan. ...

"ICE is concerned by reports about the manner in which this operation was conducted and is conducting an internal review of the facts surrounding it," said ICE Director of Public Affairs Brian Hale. "Elements of the operation appear to have been inconsistent with policy and our standards and priorities.""
