New: It’s especially intimidating for immigrants suffering abuse to call 911. But previous administrations treated people who needed help as victims, not as targets for deportation. Under Trump, those protections are eroding. propub.li/4hLjEhp

ICE is no longer sharing locations of detainees who are subject to final deportation orders as of Sept. 15, per @AP. They report that the change could speed deportations by making last-minute legal challenges harder to pursue, immigration lawyers said. apnews.com/article/ice-detai…
BREAKING: The trial of former MI House Speaker Lee Chatfield, which was scheduled to begin tomorrow, has been adjourned indefinitely following a request for a stay from Chatfield’s attorneys over the qualification and admission of an expert witness.
