Romulus — Local activists appeared at a Wayne County Airport Authority meeting Wednesday to urge the board to stop private air charter companies from using the Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti to operate flights for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
About 20 people made the snowy drive to attend the meeting inside the airport's north terminal to demand that the authority's board condemn ICE actions and stop the flights from using Metro Detroit airports. A handful were wearing T-shirts with messages including "ICE out now" and "Detroit Committee to Stop ICE."
