The past two weeks has been a nightmare for Michigan Hmong families and their loved ones, who were detained by ICE on July 15 & July 30th.
Most of whom may now be on a plane: x.com/thcartwright/status/1954993447359619497?s=46
—headed to the country their parents fled decades ago because of America’s war effort in Laos.
Michigan is their home.
This is where their families, communities, workplace, and schools are.
They are our neighbors, our coworkers, and our children’s classmates’ parents.
Instead of our federal officials focusing on policy changes to reform the immigration system, they’re throwing billions of dollars into hiring more ICE officers to snatch people at work or when they willingly show up for “Interviews”.
Michigan is going to face record losses in tax revenue, medicaid cuts and snap benefits, while money is redirected to billionaires, millionaires, and $70 billion to expand this effort.
Women, children, and senior citizens are now left navigating this complex and deeply flawed system alone.

Michigan’s Clean Slate laws were created to give people a second chance —to acknowledge that our past mistakes don’t have to define our future.
Yet today, Republican policies and the federal government are tearing families apart, punishing people who have already paid their debt.
Scripture reminds us:
‘Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you’ (Ephesians 4:32).
Justice without compassion is not justice at all—and we must not stand by while forgiveness is replaced with endless punishment.

A true leader’s strength is not measured by how tightly she guards her emotions, but by how fully she shares them.
When she sheds tears for her people, it is not weakness—it is love, courage, and the unshakable proof that their struggles are her own.

Your voice is more powerful than you think. It may be one drop in a vast ocean, but it can create waves that reach every shore.

Families are being ripped apart, refugees who never stepped foot in the very country their families fled decades ago, are now being forced to leave their home, here, in Michigan.
I’m so devastated that the Republican immigration policies we have in place today are doing more to hurt families than keeping them safe.
