They described watching the men get arrested and taken away in unmarked vehicles. They talked about friends and neighbors being targeted. One played audio from a recording of family members\u2019 anguished reaction to the arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrests took place on the morning of June 14. A video shot by a witness shows multiple men, at least one of whom had a firearm visible, ordering two men to get out of their pickup truck. They can also be seen refusing to answer bystanders\u2019 shouted questions about whether they had a warrant, and witnesses said the agents threatened to break their windows and drag the men out of the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They drove several vehicles that had flashing lights but standard Michigan license plates and no visible law enforcement markings. One of the vehicles, a Ram pickup, had a green 2024 tag on its plate instead of an orange 2025 one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"568\" src=\"http:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ICE-arrest_web-1024x568.jpeg\" alt=\"Federal agents take a man to their vehicle after handcuffing him in the parking lot across from Comstock Park on June 14.\" class=\"wp-image-2919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ICE-arrest_web-1024x568.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ICE-arrest_web-300x167.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ICE-arrest_web-768x426.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ICE-arrest_web-150x83.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ICE-arrest_web-696x386.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ICE-arrest_web-1068x593.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ICE-arrest_web.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Federal agents take a man to their vehicle after handcuffing him in the parking lot across from Comstock Park on June 14. (Photo courtesy of Ben Moorman)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Monday\u2019s city commission meeting, Adrian police chief and acting city administrator Vince Emrick told the Lenawee Voice that an officer on the scene, who was there because of a protest across the street at Comstock Park, was approached by the agents, and that they identified themselves as immigration officials. A police lieutenant then asked Lenawee County dispatchers to call the immigration office and confirm that agents had been sent there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, witnesses did not know this at the time. As a result, in addition to being shocked by the aggressive display of force, many said they were afraid they were watching a vigilante kidnapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the two dozen people who spoke at Monday\u2019s city commission meeting was Karin Barbee of Adrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdrian is home to many immigrants, the majority of whom are following the rules and attempting to gain citizenship,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about friends, students, and co-workers who contribute enormously to our community and economy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She continued, \u201cThe immigration process is complicated, and many simply have not yet completed the legal requirements. But for most, their mere existence in this country and in this city is not a crime. And while we might want to assume that those aren\u2019t the ones being swept up in violent, unconstitutional mass arrests, we would be wrong. There are quotas to meet, and this is no longer about keeping people safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some speakers said that while immigration enforcement is nothing new, what is new is the level of secrecy, aggression and cruelty displayed in recent arrests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPast administrations including Obama\u2019s and Biden\u2019s deported millions, but they followed the procedure,\u201d said Allie Quinn of Adrian. \u201cThere were warrants, uniforms, accountability. What we saw on Saturday wasn\u2019t immigration enforcement, it was a kidnapping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone on U.S. soil has rights,\u201d she added. \u201cEveryone. That is not radical. That is the Constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marcie Van Black of Deerfield noted that after the arrests, the distraught wife of one of the men couldn\u2019t even get back into her vehicle, and Adrian police had to unlock it. In addition, she said, \u201cthis poor woman is on dialysis and has no one to take care of her.&nbsp; Is this really how we want to treat our neighbors?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katey Morgan of Adrian described the fear of not even knowing who the men ordering two people to get out of their vehicle were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can buy fake ICE vests on Amazon and get it shipped to you on Prime and get it the next day, so the fact that individuals are able to approach someone, threaten to pull them out of their vehicle if they don\u2019t get out voluntarily, and not have to provide a warrant or any proof of their claimed authority, is very scary,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morgan said that anyone who can\u2019t look at the arrests from a humanitarian angle should think of the economic impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese people contribute a lot to our economy,\u201d she said. \u201cThey spend money here, they live here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aaron Chesher of Adrian said the people of Adrian have demanded respect for civil rights throughout the city\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the 1800s, Laura Smith Haviland helped enslaved people escape to freedom,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen armed men came to her home, she told them \u2018I fear neither your weapons nor your threats.\u2019 Later, our Governor Croswell, a former mayor of Adrian, led the ratification of the 13th Amendment, reformed prisons, and governed with honor and restraint. We have never waited for permission to do what is right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chesher asked for a formal investigation into the arrests, leading to publication of a transparent report. He also asked the commission to pass a due process ordinance guaranteeing that no Adrian resident can be detained without a warrant, legal counsel, and a court review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nancy Pellowe of Adrian said her youngest son was born in South Korea, and \u201cnever in my life did I think I would have to have his naturalization photos on my phone just in case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joaquin Ramos of Adrian told commissioners, \u201cI hope that you\u2019ll take this to heart, see the pain and the fear in people\u2019s eyes, and work to make Adrian a safer and better place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mayor Angela Sword Heath told the speakers that she understands and shares their feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have been heard,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are aware,\u201d she added. \u201cOur hearts are heavy. That\u2019s why it\u2019s very quiet up here. I\u2019m telling you, we understand, we just \u2014 we\u2019re going to have that discussion and explore. We don\u2019t know what we can do and can\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heath said she had the same reaction to watching the arrests that many of the speakers did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI watched the video and was very scared,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I watched it again, and I watched it again, because it was very frightening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Voice asked Emrick by email if the Adrian Police Department has any policies about Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have a mutual aid agreement with all Lenawee agencies, but nothing specific for assistance to federal agencies,\u201d he replied. \u201cIf a request is made it is routed through central dispatch to our patrol supervisor.\u00a0 A decision to assist is then made based on several factors. In this instance an officer was approached because they were present. That officer contacted the shift supervisor. ICE carried out their arrest without assistance. Our involvement was in the aftermath unlocking the vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One local resource for anyone who needs help with immigration issues is the <a
