Massive Federal Raid in Lenawee County
ADRIAN, Mich. (WXYZ) - The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are all involved in raids around Adrian that may be connected to a militia group.
The FBI conducted multiple raids throughout Saturday and into Sunday, with one of them centered on a property where known members of a militia live. The land is owned by a man who lives in a house on the property. His sons live in two mobile homes that are also on the property. Saturday's raids were concentrated on those mobile homes.
Helicopters were spotted in the sky for much of the night, and agents set up checkpoints throughout the area, including in Sand Creek and Clayton in Lenawee County. Witnesses tell Action News that it was like a small army had descended on the area.
A command center, including two satellite trucks and a radio tower, had been set up at the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department in Ann Arbor. It has since been dismantled.
Federal agents will not comment on the investigation, only saying that they are serving a number of search warrants and that the warrants are sealed. Action News has learned that an unknown number of arrests have also been made. An unconfirmed report indicated that at least six people were arrested coming into Michigan from Ohio.
Members of a number of militia groups say that the raids are connected to raids in Indiana and Ohio. However, the FBI has not confirmed that.

The FBI arrested a person early this morning in Clarendon Hills in relation to a late-night raid Saturday at a northwest Indiana home, according to a statement released today by Chicago FBI spokesman Special Agent Ross Rice.
The individual is in custody of the U.S. Marshal in Hammond, Rice said in the statement. He also said that the arrest was part of an "ongoing criminal investigation being conducted by the FBI in Detroit." But no other details of the investigation or the reasons behind the arrest were being released by the agency at this time because, he said, the arrest is under seal.
The Saturday night raid, at a home in the 1900 block of Calumet Avenue in Whiting, was conducted by FBI Special Agents from Chicago and Indianapolis who were executing a search warrant and arrest warrant, the statement said. The agency said that the search was made "without incident," but the person they were seeking was not located until this morning in Clarendon Hills, with the arrest happening without incident.
