Authorities raided the Michigan home of a top U.S. Homeland Security Investigations official and seized several items from the residence, a neighbor said Tuesday.
The raid occurred last Friday at the Royal Oak, Michigan, house of Vance Callender, HSI special agent in charge at the agency’s Detroit office, who has worked in federal law enforcement for 26 years.
Callender, 49, was appointed the top HSI agent in Michigan and Ohio in January 2020. HSI is a division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security.
The agents supervised by Callender enforce immigration and customs laws, and investigate criminal organizations for drug smuggling, financial crimes, human trafficking, and other activities.
It was not immediately known which law enforcement agency conducted the raid on Callender’s residence or the reason for it. The raid was first reported by The Detroit News.
A spokeswoman for the FBI field office in Detroit said in an email, “The search you referenced was not an FBI operation.”
“DHS or ICE would be the appropriate agencies,” that spokeswoman said.
An ICE spokeswoman, who did not confirm that the agency carried out the raid, would not discuss Callender’s job status when asked about it by CNBC.
But the spokeswoman said, “As public servants working for a law enforcement agency, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) takes allegations of misconduct very seriously.”
... Callender could not be immediately reached for comment.
His wife, Brooke, did not immediately respond to messages requesting comment.
After this article was first published, an attorney who said he represents Callender sent CNBC a statement.
“Special Agent-in-Charge Callender has been subject to speculative, unproven, and unfounded rumors,” said the lawyer, Nick Oberheiden. “We will address currently circulating allegations at the appropriate time with appropriate force.”

Prob the patsy for the border patrol “whipping” episode.
Wonder what he’s being punished for?
And by whom?
“Corruption” is nothing new. It happens in high ranking jobs
24/7, 365. At least that is what I have come to believe over the years. I used to have a stellar high opinion of the FBI.
Not now I don’t. We walk a gauntlet, lined with Feet of Clay.
bttt
It’s almost pretty when they turn on themselves.
Or the Whitmer kidnapping case.
Any of this related to the fake Covid-mask raid in Detroit back in late October?
Greet a government fat cat as "Servant, ..." and see how far that gets you. To climb the bureaucratic ladder, it helps immensely to knock off the "servant" hanging on the rung above. How many scandals are really the machinations of Machiavellian ladder climbers?
Trump-era appointment.
If the neighbor is correct the agent may have disappeared and they’re trying to find out why. One reason disappearances and suicides are well investigated is because decades ago during the cold war there was a sergeant at McDill who drove a Rolls Royce. Nobody ever questioned why a sergeant could afford a Rolls Royce. One of his jobs was to change typewriter ribbons in the classified area. He sold them to the Soviets. They only found out after he committed suicide. So, if the agent is gone, they want to know why and where.
Sounds like Durham at work.
Maybe a neighbor “swatted” him?
