Michigan lawmaker proposes ban on state property being used for ICE detention - Detroit Metro Times

I'm low-key worried about this proposed bill 🤔. I get why Michigan lawmakers want to take a stand against ICE, especially with those horrific death rates in custody... 32 people? It's just not right 💔. The fact that there are already facilities like the North Lake Processing Center reopening and folks getting hurt or worse is just devastating 😩. I'm all for activists fighting back, but we gotta make sure our voices aren't being co-opted by some of these radical groups 🤷‍♀️. Can't we find a way to address ICE's issues without resorting to this? We need to create solutions that prioritize human rights and dignity, not just demonize the system 👎.
 
I'm totally with Rep Wegela on this one 🤝. Those detainer facilities are literally taking lives and causing so much trauma to families. I mean, 32 people have died nationwide last year alone - that's just heartbreaking 😩. We gotta stand up for human rights and dignity here. It's crazy that politicians like him can make a difference by proposing this bill 🙌. The fact that it'll require private contractors to forfeit the property if it gets used again is a great touch too 💪. Of course, it won't be an easy fight with Republicans in control of the state House, but I'm rooting for Rep Wegela and all the activists fighting against ICE's enforcement policies 🌈.
