Kudos to our partners @ACLUofMichigan for bringing this case on behalf of immigrant families! 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏿

“You’re seeing every day, people who are lawfully present, people who have work permits, people who are in process — who have pending cases in immigration court, pending asylum cases … those people are being detained.” 🔗 freep.com/story/news/loc…

This traffic stop happened in 2024 but reveals some of the longstanding challenges facing farmworkers. In the past year there’s been an increase in stops across Michigan by local police and sheriffs that needlessly involve immigration enforcement. 🔗 mlive.com/news/2026/03/a…

We appreciated the opportunity to talk about how immigration enforcement is impacting Michiganders with friends and partners at the Rising Voices gathering today. 💙

From our partners at @ACLUofMichigan: "Degrading as it was, what happened to me pales in comparison to the cruelty more than 1,400 immigrants locked away at North Lake endure every day." 🔗 freep.com/story/opinion/…

“It’s important to prepare ahead of time and to know in the worst-case scenario, what to do.” - Rebecca Olszewski, MIRC 🔗 washtenawvoice.com/2026/02/23/rum…

MIRC opposes #Mileg SB 617-620 authorizing mobile driver's licenses. “The risks to data privacy are too great, particularly as federal agencies routinely seek access to such databases for immigration enforcement.” 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/aboutmdl 🔗 michiganpublic.org/politics-gover…

“These are the last lines of defense. There are simply not enough free legal services, and every dollar raised helps ensure people have access to legal advice when they need it most.” - Christine Sauvé, MIRC 🔗 concentratemedia.com/as-ice-comes-t…

Thank you to all the community members who bravely shared their experiences at today’s forum on immigration enforcement. Thank you to the elected leaders who bore witness to stories of family separation, mistreatment, and feeling hunted in a community that is supposed to be home.
