Federal agents executed search warrants this week at the headquarters of a Dearborn-based Arab-American group.

The investigation is continuing and the warrants are sealed, so it was unclear what led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to search the office of ACCESS, the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services.

ACCESS spokeswoman Hannan Deep said the group was told the Wednesday morning search was related to a statewide immigration investigation that was not limited to Arab organizations.

Greg Palmore, a spokesman with the Detroit office of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs, confirmed the search but declined further comment.

ACCESS, 2651 Saulino Court, helps low-income families and recent immigrants.
