ICE arrests Venezuelan man at Amazon site in Hazel Park

• ICE arrested multiple people last week in Ypsilanti.

Zoom in: ICE officers arrested Edwin Romero Gutierrez on Monday after he fled on foot during an attempted vehicle stop, an ICE spokesperson tells Axios.

• Gutierrez got out of his vehicle as he approached the warehouse and fled.
• Amazon's security checkpoint was breached during the incident, company spokesperson Richard Rocha tells Axios.

State of play: Amazon typically requires law enforcement to present a valid warrant to enter its facilities.

• Officers were allowed to enter the Hazel Park facility after they explained to site leaders that "they were attempting to make a targeted arrest when the individual ran from them and breached our turnstiles," Rocha says.
• No other arrests were made at the warehouse.

Border Patrol arrested Gutierrez in 2023 after he entered the country illegally, per ICE.

• He remains in ICE custody after Monday's arrest.
