U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, commonly known as ICE, arrested a Philippine national in Kodiak last week, according to a Thursday social media post from the agency. When contacted, the family declined to comment and asked for privacy so KMXT is not publishing his name.

Both Alaska State Troopers and Kodiak police say ICE did not request any assistance for the arrest.
