LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – At the urging of Attorney General Dana Nessel, the Michigan Supreme Court voted 6-1 to ban warrantless civil arrests at courthouses statewide. It’s a move that appears to target the Trump administration’s focus on immigration enforcement and deportations.

The Democrat-majority court updated a rule that keeps law enforcement from arresting people for civil infractions at courthouses. Justice Noah Hood wrote that since courts are service providers, people may avoid seeking those services if they think they might be confronted or arrested.

However, Justice Brian Zahra, the court’s sole Republican member, called the ruling “a political statement in search of a problem.” Zahra argued there’s no evidence that ICE regularly makes courthouse arrests in Michigan. “State courts have no authority to void a federal arrest,” Zahra wrote in his dissent. “The proposed amendment offers only false assurance that parties, attorneys, subpoenaed witnesses, and officers, while going to, attending, and returning from court, may not be arrested by the federal government.”

Justic Zahra added, “The prospect of having an arrest ‘voided’ by a state court offers false comfort to someone being held in federal custody.”

The Michigan Supreme Court ruling now aligns with several other states that have adopted similar policies, including Connecticut, Illinois, and New York.
