ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) — Some Ellensburg residents were shaken-up Thursday by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency raid.
The Ellensburg Daily Record reports agents with police and Kittitas County sheriff’s deputies using a helicopter served 11 search warrants and made an undisclosed number of arrests.
Ellensburg School Superintendent Paul Ferris says a number of students were upset when they heard that relatives or friends’ relatives had been taken away.
An ICE spokeswoman in Seattle, Lorie Dankers, said warrants were served as part of a criminal investigation.
