Nessel’s office mum on reason for FBI raids in Ypsilanti, Canton, Ann Arbor (Appears to be Hamas related)

Partial:

Officials have confirmed at least three raids in and around Washtenaw County but have yet to say why the raids occurred.

Law enforcement executed search warrants in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Canton on Wednesday, April 23, Danny Wimmer, spokesperson for the Michigan Attorney General’s office, said.

One raid took place around 8:30 a.m. in the 200 block of North Summit Street in Ypsilanti. A second raid took place in the 50000 block of Scarborough Road in Canton, with roughly 20 people gathered outside around 10:40 a.m.

It is unclear where in Ann Arbor the other raid took place. The Ann Arbor Police Department was involved in the investigation, police spokesman Chris Page said.

“The investigation is related to reported crimes committed in the City of Ann Arbor as well as other jurisdictions,” he said.

Wimmer did not confirm if there were multiple warrants being executed in each jurisdiction.

The TAHRIR Coalition, a pro-Palestinian advocacy group, asked members to go to the Canton and Ypsilanti homes in a statement released Wednesday morning. The group alleged that the raid is targeting protesters who support Palestine amid the war in Gaza.
