YPSILANTI, MI -- A Homeland Security raid on the H&M Citgo gas station, 505 S. Huron St. in Ypsilanti could be linked to federal raids of eight stations in Metro Detroit executed Tuesday, June 7.

Federal agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office raided the stations on Tuesday morning for undisclosed reasons.

ICE spokesman Khaalid Walls confirmed an "ongoing criminal investigation" but said "the warrants are under seal in federal court so we can't elaborate further at this time."

Officers removed boxes of products from a Citgo on 8 Mile Road in Detroit. The same situation occurred at Ypsilanti Citgo station beginning as early as 8 a.m. Tuesday. The Ypsilanti station is currently closed.

Voice messages were left on the Ypsilanti gas station's phone seeking comment. Representatives from Michigan's U.S. Secret Services office could not be reached immediately for comment.
