Clarkston, MI – A tense situation unfolded Wednesday morning in Oakland County as ICE agents pursued alleged gang members near Pine Knob. The incident prompted local authorities to issue a shelter-in-place order for Clarkston Community Schools, ensuring the safety of students and staff during the manhunt.
Parents were on high alert as students remained indoors, awaiting updates on the situation. “We take these matters seriously, and the safety of our students is our top priority,” said a spokesperson for the district, emphasizing the importance of quick communication with local law enforcement.
After several hours of intensive searching by ICE agents, the Clarkston Community Schools received the “all clear” from local police, allowing them to lift the lockdown shortly after midday. Students were eventually released from classes, but anxiety lingered in the community following the high-stakes pursuit.
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office quickly mobilized, deploying essential resources to assist in the search and ensure community safety. “We are here to protect and serve,” stated Sheriff Michael Bouchard. “Our deputies have been in constant communication with ICE to coordinate efforts during this ongoing situation.”
As of Wednesday afternoon, the suspects connected to this incident had not yet been located. Law enforcement officials are urging anyone with information about the alleged gang members to come forward. Residents are reminded to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity as the investigation continues.
