Michigan Republican Rep. Matt Maddock mistakes NCAA basketball teams for "illegal invaders" at Detroit Metro Airport
Source: CBS News
Michigan Rep. Matt Maddock posted on X, claiming that buses were loading with "illegal invaders" at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. But airport officials say it was college basketball players who arrived for the Sweet 16 games on Friday at Little Ceasars Arena.
The Republican lawmaker posted at about 8:20 p.m. Wednesday with pictures of the three buses outside of the airport. In his post, Maddock said, "Happening right now. Three buses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they're headed with their police escort?"
However, a spokesperson with the Wayne County Airport Authority sent a statement to CBS News Detroit, saying, "The four men's basketball teams competing in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 at Little Caesars Arena arrived at DTW Wednesday evening. The buses seen in a photograph circulating online were transporting the basketball teams and their respective staffs."
Detroit is hosting two games Friday at Little Caesars Arena for the third rounds of the tournament. Teams who will be playing in the Motor City are Creighton vs. Tennessee and Gonzaga vs. Purdue.
