The decision from Livingston County requires deputies to trace immigration standing as a part of the usual questions they ask folks throughout police interviews. Nonetheless, two of its neighboring counties are publicly deciding to go the wrong way.

Livingston County says the coverage will assist them collect the info they should battle crime, however officers in Ingham and Washtenaw counties say guidelines like these are dangerous for Michigan. Immigration advocates are frightened it might result in discrimination.
