Surge in Immigrant Detentions at Detroit-Canada Border Raises Concerns
Recent incidents at the Detroit-Canada border have resulted in hundreds of immigrant arrests following a wrong turn at the Ambassador Bridge. Advocates for immigrants are alarmed by the apparent increase in detentions, particularly as reports emerge of a Venezuelan immigrant who attempted to take his own life while in custody. Representative Rashida Tlaib has condemned these detentions, attributing them to policies established by the previous administration. The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by immigrants in the region.
