Our communities shouldn’t have to live in fear that parents won't come home from work, or kids won't return from school, or a knock at the door could rip a family apart. Call @Michimmigrant's intake line if you are detained by ICE: 734-239-6863. https://t.co/rH6y5ZitLN

“Longer stays resulted in higher levels of defiance, hopelessness, and frustration among children, along with more instances of self-harm.” Ripping families apart is child abuse. It's time to reunite all families and #CloseTheCamps. #FamiliesBelongTogether https://t.co/tUB2VR7hSB

Thank you @Michimmigrant

Last night, we hosted a listening session with Sheriff Fuller in partnership with El Concilio to discuss ending of ICE holds in Kalamazoo County. We respect and thank those who joined us last night and commit to holding Sheriff Fuller accountable to his promises to the community.

Do you want to file for custody? If you were never married to the other parent of your child, you must establish paternity before you can start a custody case. Follow the MDHHS link below to learn more about establishing paternity and how to do it.

"...the city will not voluntarily cooperate with ICE after it has held thousands of detainees following backlash by immigration advocates and religious groups, a city spokeswoman said."

MIRC + @ACLUofMichigan + other partners = #backlash

Immigrants' rights advocates, farmers, faith leaders, @GovWhitmer, @JocelynBenson, @dananessel and I agree -- it's time to make sure that Michiganders can get drivers' licenses without having to prove legal presence.

We (along with our partners at @ACLUofMichigan) are asking county sheriffs, prosecutors, and police chiefs to stop detaining people in jails at the request of ICE. https://t.co/dgeyYeT4TO

"The new rule is also likely to scare millions of immigrants and their family members, including millions of U.S. citizen children, away from accessing public benefit programs" -- MIRC's Tania Morris Diaz. #PublicCharge

❗IMPORTANT❗Will public charge affect you, your family and/or your community? Watch now and share with your community. https://t.co/cHu5HOHSp3

Law enforcement agencies do not have to comply with ICE requests to keep a person in custody when they would otherwise be released. These so-called ICE holds are unconstitutional. We support Kent County's policy change to require judicial review.

ICE approaches immigrants on the street, at work, in their car, at court. Remember: #WeHaveRights. Be prepared for encounters with #ICE.

We’re at a local detention facility today and this story weighs heavily on us. Just like all the stories of our clients who are treated as un-human by our country’s immigration policies and practices. #wefight
