Attorney General Dana Nessel launched a new reporting form to collect information from residents regarding immigration action in Michigan.

The hearing room reached its maximum capacity as the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety Committee continued testimony on bills aimed at limiting immigration enforcement's abilities in Michigan, like by outlawing masked officers and prohibiting public bodies from releasing personal information without court-issued warrants.

The Michigan Civil Rights Commission voted Luke Londo to serve as chair during the meeting on Monday and the new chair took time at the end of the meeting to call out President Donald Trump’s administration and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Lue Yang – a Hmong refugee and St. Johns married father of six – who was detained and threatened with deportation by federal immigration officials for a 30-year-old expunged home invasion conviction on his record, was released to his family Wednesday afternoon.

Heated exchanges erupted in the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety Committee Thursday between Sen. Jim Runestad (R-White Lake) and supporters of bills to prohibit immigration enforcement in hospitals, schools and places of worship, as well as outlawing officers from wearing masks or disguises.
