Iraqi immigrant detained by ICE allowed to stay until at least Aug. 10

One of the 114 Iraqi immigrants arrested in Michigan on Sunday has been granted temporary relief and can stay in the U.S. until at least Aug. 10, his attorney said. Haydar Butris, 38, of Sterling Heights, was detained by federal immigration agents as   part of a sweep of Iraqi nationals with criminal records. They were part of almost 200 Iraqi nationals arrested by U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) nationally in recent weeks whom family members fear will be deported back to Iraq. In other developments Thursday, Chaldean leaders announced they are planning to rally at 3 p.m. Friday outside the federal McNamara Building in downtown Detroit along with U.S. Reps. Brenda Lawrence, D-Southfield, and Sander Levin, D-Royal Oak, in protest of the Iraqi arrests.
