KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Rumors of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents being active in Kalamazoo have flooded social media sites over the past several days.
One post centered around El Ranchero grocery store on Portage Road, and manager Anai Rietkerk says they were hit with multiple calls and texts Friday morning from family that were worried about ICE agents and customers soon started calling with questions.
Rietkerk says there was no ICE activity at the store and she posted on Facebook that it was safe to shop at the store.
The nonprofit El Concillio also posted on social media urging people to not share information that was not verified and reliable to avoid generating “unnecessary panic in our community.”
