East Greenwich Car Wash on First Avenue reopened Monday, Nov. 2, after being closed Friday through Sunday following a visit by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials Oct. 29. Jamie Perez, who was working at the car wash this past week, said his father, uncle and stepbrother were the ones picked up by ICE; all three are from Guatemala. His stepbrother, Gabriel Mendez Ajqui, was released within a day or so of his detention. He was back at the car wash this week, working with Jamie.
