Pontiac’s Latino community grapples with surge in immigration arrests
Pontiac's Latino community faces a surge in immigration arrests, with over 400 residents detained since 2025. Elida Reyes and Alexis Huyck of the advocacy group Community Aid For Empowerment (CAFE) document arrests, provide support to affected families, and report heightened ICE activity near public spaces. The arrests have caused widespread fear, described as 'self-imposed house arrest,' with many detainees facing deportation despite having legal status.
