Federal judges recently ruled that hundreds of people in Michigan were unconstitutionally detained as they never had a chance of being released on bond. For its part, the Trump administration says it's detaining the “worst of the worst.” But in many cases, non-citizens without a criminal record have been detained.
So, what do ICE arrests and detentions look like in metro Detroit? What are the stories of those who’ve been detained? How are local police involved in the work? And, who’s fighting back?
Violet Ikonomova is an investigative reporter for the Detroit Free Press. She spoke with The Metro's Robyn Vincent.
