Lisa Petrowski LaLandeI don't live Downriver any more, but I remember taking "refuge" there due to the fact that I had a loved one in the hospital (in dire straits) across the street. They don't know it, but their kindness at that point in my life was appreciated!
Joseph RossiGreat place!!!

This week, Michigan House Republicans voted to slash school funding by 25%. If their plan worked, schools would be underfunded by $5 BILLION.
It’s sad to see Downriver Republican state representatives who voted to eliminate free breakfast and lunch funding, CTE programs, special funding for isolated districts like Grosse Ile, and more.
Under the House Republican plan:

I'm appalled at reports that a Trenton father was targeted and detained by ICE near his son's school. I just spoke with his family and they are heartbroken. To make matters more infuriating, his family says he has a work permit and ID to be here.
It is a moral failure that our schools, places of worship, and other community spaces are being used to tear families apart and spread fear and chaos ac ... See MoreSee Less

8Jenni Carone-HannaThank you so much Darrin, for speaking out for this family. Watching them on the news just brought me to tears. This is absolutely reckless of ICE and this administration to just let them run rampant in our communities and taking people away from their family who have all their papers and ID legally! They said he has been here for 30 years with no criminal record unbelievable!

5Amanda RosmanThank you Senator Camilleri. ❤️ Please stay with this one. He's a wonderful person and family man.
5Rose Derlikiewicz VenturaThis is so sad and hard on the family. No one realizes what people go through when this happens. It's devastating, exhausting and unfortunately there are not enough lawyers that truly know immigration law to help families.
3Maria EnriquezSenator Darrin Camilleri I am so glad that you are responding to this issue, how horrible that young children have to experince such actions. LACLAA is having a program regarding immigration issues in Lansing. I would invite you to join us. I can send information to you.
