At around 6am, ICE Knocked on my door. My wife answered and they said that they needed to come in because they were chasing a fugitive. My wife asked for the name of the fugitive and the name of the judge that signed the warrant. They said that they didn't need one when they were pursuing a fugitive. She said that's bullshit and that she wasn't letting them in.
Luckily, my wife has a very forceful "mom voice" and they must have known not to mess with her so they left. I have no idea if they will be back.
We are a family of 6 with a toddler. All white. All citizens. We've live at this house for 4 years. If they can come to our door, they can come to yours.
I think they're coming around early in the morning to avoid making a scene and activating the community. Don't let them come in quietly.
Don't open the door unless you see a warrant signed by a judge. Don't be scared. Come out if you see them at your neighbor's house.
Edit: I don't actually think that my wife scolded them so hard that they left. I think that they saw that she was white and had no accent which implied that she isn't an immigrant, so they realized that they would be wasting their time at our house and left on their own.
Update: Royal Oak PD said that this is the 8th similar incident this week and they don't know if it is ICE or not. Stay safe neighbors.
