Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has launched a new online portal for residents to report incidents of federal immigration enforcement actions in the state. The portal comes after Nessel's office has received over 5,000 emails from the public regarding immigration enforcement activity. Nessel said the state will not tolerate "harmful, illegal actions" against residents and will investigate any alleged misconduct by federal officers.

Why it matters

The new portal is a response to growing concerns over aggressive federal immigration enforcement tactics in Michigan, which have drawn criticism from local officials, immigrant rights groups, and community leaders. The tracker aims to provide transparency and accountability around these actions.

The details

The online form allows Michigan residents to directly report incidents to the state attorney general's office. Residents can submit videos, livestreams, and photos as evidence. Reports can be submitted anonymously, with contact information kept confidential. The attorney general's office will investigate any alleged misconduct.
