BREAKING: A federal court blocked the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to cut off food assistance for 42 million people during the ongoing government shutdown. We'll keep fighting to ensure that federal programs serve their lawful purpose: to help, not harm, people and communities.

Today, SCOTUS limited federal courts’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions in Trump v. CASA. Birthright citizenship remains protected for plaintiff states like Michigan. And for individual plaintiffs in the consolidated cases. More at mi.gov/agnews

ALT AG Nessel Issues Statement on Supreme Court’s Decision in the Birthright Citizenship Case mi.gov/agnews

"This unprecedented decision doesn’t make Donald Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship lawful. It simply allows it to stand in states either unwilling or afraid to challenge it, inviting this president and future ones to ignore constitutional limits."

"The idea that our rights now depend on where we live is unconscionable. The Constitution is not a regional document, and it should never be subject to the whims of any political party or administration. A baby born in Ohio or Indiana should be entitled to the same birthright citizenship as a baby born in Michigan or Illinois."

"We look forward to continuing to make this case in the courts and remain confident that we will succeed on the merits of our argument. As long as I serve as Attorney General, I will continue to fight for the rights of Michigan residents and uphold the rule of law, no matter the legal obstacles that stand in our way.” - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel

Michigan’s AG industry adds $104.7B to the state’s economy thanks to farm workers. Yet, they’re underpaid, overworked, and lack basic benefits. Tell @SenatorSlotkin: It’s time to invest in the people behind the profits. ☎️ 1-202-759-4087

All children, regardless of their immigration status, have a constitutional right to an education in the United States. Period. Thanks to the Lansing School District for working to meet this moment with the urgency it demands. lansingstatejournal.com/stor…

Lansing schools will shield student personal information after ACLU immigration guidance

The change will also restrict access to school buildings and facilities unless a "lawful federal criminal warrant is presented."

7,300 people were deported in Trump’s first week. According to DHS, “hundreds” had convictions. That means thousands didn’t.

@DHSgov28 Jan 2025
In the first week of the Trump Administration, we have fulfilled President Trump's promise to the American people to arrest and deport violent criminals illegally in the country. In one week, law enforcement officials have removed and returned 7,300 illegal aliens.

Sobering images as farm workers in CA persist through fires and smoke to put food on our tables. Yet another example of essential workers, including immigrants, showing up for our country in dangerous conditions.

I can't imagine the pain she must have gone through. She wants people to remember her husband as a hero, someone who worked hard, day and night, to literally build this country up.
Castellon implored people "not to forget" her husband and the other victims of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. "They were there," she noted, "so this country can have better streets. And those bridges, to have better conditions." "The only thing I would love for people to know is that, for me, my husband is a hero, alongside his five coworkers," Castellon said.

The families of three immigrant construction workers who died when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed will be asking a federal court to prevent the owner of the ship that crashed into the structure from escaping legal liability. In an exclusive interview, Maria del Carmen Castellon called Luna Gonzalez, one of the workers, "the best husband" and her "best friend." cbsnews.com/news/key-bridge-…
