Immigrant Rights

Current Challenges Facing Immigrants

Immigrant communities continue to face policies and practices that create fear and instability, with the current political climate causing increased concerns: 

• Expanded enforcement and surveillance by masked agents, fueled by increased funding and an untrainted workforce hired to police immigrants.
• Family separation through deportation, which disrupts households and community networks.
• Barriers to basic services, such as access to healthcare, legal support, and safe working conditions.
• Hostile rhetoric, which fuels discrimination and makes daily life more dangerous for many immigrants.
• These pressures affect long‑standing residents, newly arrived asylum seekers, and refugees alike, shaping everything from job security to access to education and housing.

Community‑Led Advocacy

We continue to organize for safety, stability, and opportunity. Supporting our work means:

• Elevating the voices of those directly affected.
• Challenging policies that separate families or limit access to essential services.
• Expanding protections that allow immigrants to live, work, and participate fully in their communities.
• Building coalitions across neighborhoods, faith groups, labor organizations, and local advocates.

This approach reflects a broader vision of a Michigan where everyone has the chance to thrive.
