The FBI and police raid the homes of anti-Israel activists tied to demonstrations at the University of Michigan, local media reports.

The officers searched homes at the Michigan towns of Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and Canton, the Detroit Metro Times reports, citing a statement from the state attorney general.

The targets of the raid are US citizens and immigration enforcement is not involved, the report says.

At one of the locations, several people were handcuffed and released after about 15 minutes, MLive, a local news site, reports.

An anti-Israel activist group, the Tahrir Coalition, first reported the raids.
