WAS BIG IMMIGRANT BUST IN DETORIT TERROR-RELATED?

DETROIT FREE PRESS:
They called it Operation Motor City, and for five days, federal agents working late-night shifts in unmarked cars shadowed illegal immigrants living in towns and cities across southeast Michigan.

By Wednesday, 63 immigrants -- most of them from Eastern European countries and ranging in age from 10 to 60 -- were in the process of being deported in one of the largest roundups yet in an ongoing effort to clear Michigan and Ohio of an estimated 4,500 illegal immigrants. ... Twenty-five of the people targeted during the latest operation, which lasted from May 31 to Sunday, were from Albania, while eight were from Macedonia, officials said. The rest were from 13 other countries. ... he immigrants lived across metro Detroit, including in Canton, Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield. The largest number of arrests occurred in Royal Oak, where eight Albanians were picked up, Baker said.
Targeting eastern Eurpeans from Albania and Macedonia (where many people are Muslim) might mean this raid was REALLY related to the recent terror-bust in Toronto - right across the border from Detroit. Just wondering... After all - if that CBS NEWS report was accurate - maybe the fedas are VERY worried something BIG is about to happen, and they're rounding up anyone who can give them a lead...

I wondered the same thing this morning when I read this, but was afraid to post on it, to tell you the truth.

Of course, the immigrant bust was in, or near, Dearborn, MI, which is the home of the largest Islamic population in the US. And, of course, the immigrants were identified as Albanian and Macedonian, but that isn't enough.

But, it is enough to make you wonder, isn't it?
