⚖️Un tribunal federal dictaminó que ciertos inmigrantes detenidos DEBEN tener la oportunidad de solicitar una audiencia de fianza. Nadie debería ser encarcelado sin la posibilidad de solicitar su liberación ante un juez. Elegibilidad para fianza: https://t.co/Ry8D2mvQi9

⚖️A federal court ruled that certain detained immigrants MUST have the opportunity to seek a bond hearing. No one should be locked away without the chance to seek release before a judge. Check out our update on bond eligibility: https://t.co/Ry8D2mvQi9

MIRC's Elizabeth Santana testified in support of a proposed MI court rule to expand language interpretation services for civil cases, just as they are currently provided for criminal cases. This would ensure that everyone has equal access to justice.

MIRC's Ruby Robinson spoke to Stateside about the federal court ruling that detained immigrants must have the opportunity to seek bond. "This is a window for certain people to be able to be released or to be reunited with their family members."

USCIS has issued an alarming change to current policy for immigrants who entered legally and qualify for permanent residency, now forcing them to leave the U.S. to obtain their green cards.

Stay tuned for updates. This policy will likely be challenged in the courts.

Michiganders are now surveilled by federal immigration agents along state highways.
“This kind of widespread surveillance does not make our communities safer, but it does raise the serious possibility of unlawful searches and constitutional violations.” 🔗 https://t.co/XplwlihX9y

As Michiganders struggle to cover medical bills & put food on the table, Congress is considering adding another staggering $70+ BILLION for mass deportations, ICE, & CBP. And this is on top of the $170 BILLION Congress gave federal agencies last year for immigration enforcement.

Ana Raquel Devereaux de MIRC habló con @latinos_en_miusa sobre el reciente cambio en una norma judicial que protege a las personas obligadas a comparecer ante el tribunal de ser arrestadas civilmente en los tribunales de Michigan.

The Michigan Supreme Court clarified rules to restrict civil arrests from happening at courthouses. MIRC's Susan Reed says this shows that Michigan regards noncitizens "as full and equal participants in the activities happening in the courts.”

"They have the authority to deny these requests, & they could have done so. By approving them, they are really just amplifying & giving a green light for agencies to do possibly unlawful stops, violating...Michiganders' rights under the Constitution."

“Our constitution and laws compel the government to provide medical care and confidential attorney access to individuals in custody. ... Many of our clients have experienced grave failures of ICE's duty to provide medical care..."

“The health and safety of our clients and community members is important and critical. We’ll pursue all avenues that we need to ensure that … the people who are detained receive the care and the access that is due to them.” - Ruby Robinson, MIRC

This week MIRC joined ACLU of Michigan, MI Poder, and Detroit Justice Center in filing an amicus brief opposing the federal government’s proposed ICE detention site in a Romulus warehouse.

ICYMI, last month former immigration judge David Paruch shared his concerns with changes taking place under this administration.
He called it “stacking the cards” in a way that prioritizes deportations. Data bears that out.
