Michigan Supreme Court mulls ban on ICE arrests at state courthouses
Michiganders have 12 more days to weigh in on a rule proposed by the Michigan Supreme Court that would ban federal immigration agents from making civil arrests at state courts.
The rule, proposed in November, “would prohibit the civil arrest of a person while attending a court proceeding or having legal business in the courthouse,” according to the court website.
The order notes “this subrule does not apply to arrests made pursuant to a valid warrant that a judge has authorized.”
It also would not apply to federal immigration courts that are outside of the state’s jurisdiction.
Christine Sauve, spokeswoman for the Michigan Immigration Rights Center, told Michigan Public an increasing number of folks are calling in with concerns about Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests at or near courthouses. Click here to read more.
Erika Kirk Pushes Back on Conspiracies About Husband’s Death: ‘Stop’
Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered,” Erika Kirk, the Turning Point USA CEO and widow of assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, addressed online conspiracies around her husband’s murder.
Kirk said, “It reminds me so much of Chapter Six in the book of Nehemiah.

And that could be defined as obeying our laws or professing a love for this country, aside from showing gratitude by becoming legal.
And this came up in a variety of context. We had a great number of licenses here in California, 17,000, that were issued to people who were illegally in the United States, and they weren’t even residents of California. Click here to read more.

RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.
Former Special Counsel John Durham, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former CIA Director Gina Haspel dismissed or buried evidence that cast doubt on a foundational document of the Russigate hoax – the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) prepared in the waning days of the Obama administration.
