Detainees transported to the Mainland


Federal agents, along with the Nantucket Police Department, have detained several undocumented aliens in an immigration raid of homes and job sites across the island this morning.

According to one source, federal agents had warrants for 30 individuals and had arrested approximately 18.

The detainees were being brought to the police station on South Water Street. They are being transported to the mainland via a Coast Guard vessel, which was equipped with metal chairs tied down with a rope, to accommodate the detainees.

According to one report, officials in unmarked cars were seen screening individuals driving from Essex Road.

Homes and businesses on Cynthia Lane, Surfside Road, Marianne Drive, Somerset Road, Celtic Drive and Essex Road have been targeted.
