DAVISON, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – After a Davison Township Board Meeting that drew hundreds of attendees earlier last week, officials are still trying to validate claims of buses bringing in undocumented immigrants into Genesee County.

The meeting included an agenda item to address “Greyhound bus dropping off a full bus of transients, homeless, and otherwise unattached people to Davison Township Meijer once-a-week”.

“We are on a fact-finding mission with Greyhound and Meijer,” said Board Supervisor Jim Slezak at the meeting. “Personally, I don’t want this going on.”

Some citizens complained that there have been Greyhound buses dropping off immigrants from out of state into the township in a Meijer parking lot. 

“We are not aware of any activity in regard to illegal immigrants,” a spokesperson for Greyhound Buses said in an email to Michigan News Source. “Our current stop for Flint is the MDOT carpool lot at the Meijer, but that would be just for ticketed passengers.” 

The transit company also confirmed that it would cease using the Meijer drop off as a location starting last week. 

“That said, as of [the Wednesday after the meeting] our stop will move to a different MDOT carpool lot, and we will no longer have a stop in Davison,” the company said in the email.

Davison Township Police Chief Jay Rendon emphasized that no crime had been committed at the meeting. “If you see something, call 911 and we will be there fast,” he told the crowd. In addition, he said Meijer has not complained.

Other authorities from the City of Davison have not experienced similar complaints. 

“I have not had any contact with any person who has expressed “a concern” to me now, or in the past,” City of Davison Police Chief Don Harris said in an email to Michigan News Source. 

The Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan, who offers a series of services including help with resettlement and other support for refugees and immigrants from across Michigan, includes the La Casa Amiga Legal Clinic & Community Programs, whose director said they have not had individuals looking for assistance in the Davison area. 

“I don’t have a problem providing services to people from that area, if they need, they can come or we can provide all of the services we have here, classes and everything, we have that kind of support,” Luz Acosta, Director of La Casa Amiga said in an interview with Michigan News Source. 

However, Acosta said that to her knowledge there had not been any new individuals seeking services from Davison. 

Some states surrounding Michigan, including Illinois, have experienced an influx of immigrants that have prompted more serious measures after Title 42 expired earlier this year. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot wrote a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who replied. 

“If you truly want to ‘work together to find a real solution’ to this border crisis gripping our nation, you must call on the Biden Administration to do its job by securing our border, repelling the illegal immigrants flooding into our communities, classifying the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and intercepting the deadly fentanyl that is endangering our country,” Abbott’s Letter to Lightfoot reads. “You are right that ‘this situation is completely untenable,’ but this is not a Texas problem—this is a problem for the entire United States of America.”

Michigan News Source reached out to Davison Township Supervisor Slezak for comment but did not get a response in time of print.
