December 7 traffic stop and ICE detention of Fraser student
Fraser
Summary
A routine traffic stop of a Fraser teenager led to him and his mother being taken into federal immigration custody and held in Texas, despite pending asylum cases and the mother's valid Michigan license. Higgins said the bodycam shows our officers did their job but the Border Patrol agent's conduct was alarming; speakers split on whether the council should act.
