George Hunter and Serena Maria Daniels have details in The Detroit News:
“Operation Mistletoe” began to roll at about 1 p.m. on a 1.6-square-mile area near Quincy and Clairmont on the city’s west side. . . .
Detroit Police Chief James Craig said the targeted area ranked No. 2 on the west side for narcotics complaints. Authorities executed 20 warrants involving 113 people in the raid following 44 complaints of drug sales.
