When federal lawyers represent both kids & ICE:
“...it is now hard to imagine how there’s going to be true independence … or if the nature of being in the federal government will create a lot of barriers to representation.”

New rules changed Medicaid eligibility based on immigration status, but many individuals and families remain qualified for full coverage. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) needs updated information from you to ensure your Medicaid decision is correct.
"They were victims, not abusers. That’s what they told police officers, attorneys, visitors and anyone else who would listen. It didn’t matter."

Read this investigative piece from @propublica, documenting a tragic trend we've seen over the past year and a half: victims of #domesticviolence are arrested by local law enforcement and then detained by ICE for months to a year, separated from their young children and families.
MIRC's Christine Sauvé recently spoke to @WWJ950 about the end of the federal grant that funded attorneys for unaccompanied children in Michigan. Listen to learn what this means, who it affects, and how you can help!

Protections remain in place for Ukraine and Sudan. Individuals present in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status retain protection including work authorization. Follow USCIS for updates: uscis.gov/humanitarian/tempo…
“We’ve increasingly seen a lot of local law enforcement agencies inappropriately, and in some cases unlawfully, getting involved in immigration enforcement.” - Christine Sauvé, MIRC

The federal government's attacks on children are happening here in Michigan and we have been busy defending our young clients. We appreciate national partners for bringing this lawsuit.
