Support SB 508 to Bar Immigration Enforcement in Schools

MEA members are encouraged to contact their lawmakers in support of Senate Bill 508, which will be up for a hearing in the Senate on Thursday, Jan. 29.

SB 508 would designate certain places like schools, courthouses and other “sensitive locations” as immigration-enforcement-free zones. Children should not have to fear being taken by ICE while they sit in a classroom. Michigan residents should not have to fear encountering masked agents when they are receiving care in a hospital. Under this bill, such spaces would prohibit law enforcement activity unless accompanied by a valid judicial warrant.
