Livingston County immigration decision stirs up controversy

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — A decision in Livingston County is asking sheriff’s deputies to maintain monitor of unlawful immigrants, however different counties in Mid-Michigan don’t agree—and they’re making that identified.

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.

In Washtenaw County, board members voted unanimously to instantly oppose the brand new guidelines in Livingston County, calling it a “politically driven effort to promote scapegoating and division.”

In the meantime, in Ingham County, commissioners voted on a decision of their very own that reaffirmed the county’s safety of migrants and opposed any efforts that painted them as criminals.

Immigration rights advocates say the Livingston County decision might harm migrants and trigger issues for the deputies making an attempt to hold it out.

“A lot of the ways officers make those attempts at asking immigration status end up being based on racial profiling,” says Christine Sauvé, coverage supervisor for the Michigan Immigrant Rights Middle. “And so that is not just a threat to the individuals, but it’s also again a liability for the officers and the municipality. They’re going to be afraid to communicate and come forward with that, local law enforcement agency. So it overall really degrades public safety.”

These similar advocates are reminding people who they don’t must reply questions on citizenship until they’re at an airport or border checkpoint.

For now, although, the Livingston County Sheriff’s Workplace and county officers are standing by their coverage, saying that it’ll make the county a safer place to dwell in comparison with Ingham and Washtenaw counties, and that’s what they’re centered on.
