Grosse Pointe parent wins federal injunction over trespass ban
A Michigan parent won a federal injunction in July that rescinds a no-trespass order from Grosse Pointe Public Schools.
Shane Pruitt was slapped with the order after he posted a video of rainbow/transgender pride flags that were on display at Parcells Middle School in September 2024.
The school district sent police to his home Oct. 21, 2024, and blocked him from entering school grounds or attending extracurricular activities. A picture of Pruitt’s face was posted at the entry to the school, and the district threatened him with criminal prosecution if he violated the order. He sued in federal district court in Detroit.

‘Crazy’: 8-year-old boy reels in piranha while fishing at lake in Pennsylvania, dad says
An 8-year-old boy expecting to reel in a bass while fishing with his father caught a piranha from a lake in Pennsylvania.
Michael Coffey said he was fishing with his son, Seamus, when the boy hooked an unfamiliar fish.
At first, Coffey said he wasn’t sure what kind of fish it was and took a few guesses. He said it appeared to be a bluegill or something similar -- but bigger.
But, he said, Seamus identified it right away. Click here to look at pictures.

ICE Deports Illegal Alien Gang Members Convicted of Manslaughter, Attempted Murder, Rape
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported illegal alien gang members convicted of crimes like manslaughter, attempted murder, and rape, among other offenses.
“In the last week, ICE has deported criminal illegal alien gang members, including killers, sexual assailants, drunk drivers, and drug traffickers,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said:
America is now a safer place with these criminals out of our country. DHS is delivering on President Trump’s mandate from the American people to deport illegal aliens and make America safe again. Deporting illegal aliens saves lives. [Emphasis added]
Metro Detroit Flock camera vandalism continues; surveillance complaints persist
The latest development in the backlash against license plate reader cameras is reports of vandalism across Metro Detroit.
Dig deeper:
Police say the cameras help solve crimes and find missing people. License plate reader cameras or LPRs, include the most popular brand, Flock, are being used in numerous cities and counties in Michigan.
Discussion over recent months has been a hot topic at public meetings, raising questions over privacy, government surveillance, transparency, and oversight.
Some critics of Flock cameras have gone further, illegally vandalizing them by breaking the readers or in some cases cutting them down. Click here to read more.
This is Detroit. Did you expect them to take these cameras without fighting back? Texas has had cameras for years. Many other states do, too. Kentucky refers to them as Bears in the trees. If they catch me speeding, they are welcome to give me a ticket. Most don't bother if you are only doing 5-6miles over the speed limit. The guys going 80-90mph in a 70mph zone should be ticketed. Unfortunately, they never get caught.
Deporting criminals is a good idea yes. But I don't believe every single person who came here illegally is a criminal. In fact, I know a family in which they deported the father. He was a businessman. He paid taxes. His business was legal. He and his wife came illegally years ago. Long before this current mess we have. They had been here long enough to have two sons. Mom was allowed to stay, continue running the business, and raise her two American born sons in the country of their birth. Dad was deported. I never heard if he made it back to his family. Never learned if he lived or died. They had been in the middle of naturalization classes to become US Citizens when all this went down in 2016. It never should have happened. He was not a criminal. He did not have a record of anything but being an upstanding citizen.
