Michigan Dept. of Education Approved Resolution Supporting Immigration Enforcement Limits in Schools and Beyond
Measure references bills restricting immigration enforcement as department weighs in on federal policy
LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Education voted 5 to 1 this week to approve a resolution stating that “no child should fear going to school or stepping outside of their home that their family will be torn apart,” while formally citing pending legislation that would limit state and local involvement in federal immigration enforcement.
The resolution references Senate Bills 508, 509 and 510, which are currently before the Michigan Legislature. The bills collectively propose changes to how state and local agencies interact with federal immigration authorities.

Senate Bill 508 would restrict immigration enforcement actions at designated “sensitive locations,” including schools, hospitals, places of worship and courthouses, unless a court order is issued or there is an imminent threat to public safety.
Senate Bill 509 would prohibit state and local government entities from sharing information that could be used for federal immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.
Senate Bill 510 would require law enforcement officers conducting enforcement actions to be clearly identifiable and generally prohibit the use of masks or personal disguises, with limited exceptions such as undercover operations.
The resolution does not carry the force of law, but its adoption signals support within the Department of Education for the legislation and places the department on record regarding immigration-related policy issues.
The vote comes as immigration enforcement practices are receiving renewed national attention following a fatal shooting in Minneapolis involving a federal immigration officer. In that case, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a Minnesota woman during a federal operation. Federal authorities have said they are conducting the investigation, while Minnesota officials have raised concerns about transparency and oversight.
While the Minnesota incident was not cited during the Michigan vote, it has intensified public debate nationwide over immigration enforcement tactics and the role of state and local institutions in responding to federal actions.
The Senate bills referenced in the resolution remain under consideration in Lansing and have not yet received final legislative approval.
Our state government is willing to go above and beyond to protect illegal adults and illegal children, but does absolutely nothing to protect children in the black ghetto of Michigan and all over America. Liquor and gun stores on every corner and failing schools in every ghetto in America. It’s sickening. Democrats claim they are for minorities and the downtrodden, but their actions are in direct opposition of what common sense says to do.
