U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a homeless Venezuelan illegal immigrant who officials say walked into the agency's Detroit office and demanded to be taken into custody - or else he would "go out and commit crimes."
The Venezuelan national - who was not publicly identified - will now remain in custody pending immigration proceedings.
"We're grateful that this individual self-reported and turned himself over to ICE before going out and threatening public safety," ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Detroit Field Office Director Robert Lynch said in a statement.
The agency announced Monday that the 23-year-old man "entered the agency's lobby" in Detroit on Feb. 6 "and asked to be taken into custody, stating that if ICE did not arrest him, he would go out and commit crimes."
