Board of Commissioners - Oct 15, 2026
A resolution barring ICE from county-owned, leased, or operated buildings without a judicial warrant failed to even get a floor vote when the motion to discharge it failed 7-11. Advocates say over 500 county residents have been detained, while opponents defend federal immigration enforcement.
Board of Commissioners - Jun 11, 2026
Dozens of residents urged the board to fund legal aid, ban ICE activity on county property, and reject 287(g) agreements, arguing hundreds of neighbors have been detained and deported. Commissioners took no action; the Community Safety and Civil Rights Ad Hoc Committee was asked to meet.
Board of Commissioners - May 21, 2026
Residents described fear of ICE operations in Oakland County and asked for legal aid funding, a no-287(g) policy, and an independent investigation into alleged sheriff cooperation with ICE. The investigation resolution was referred to the Public Health and Safety Committee.
Board of Commissioners - Apr 8, 2026
The Ad Hoc Committee reported the county's actions against ICE cooperation: no 287(g) agreement, ending the Clemis contract with ICE, and policies restricting ICE access without judicial warrants. Residents pressed for codified ordinances and funding for legal aid and food support.
Board of Commissioners - Mar 11, 2026
Roughly 25 speakers demanded the board bar ICE from all county property without judicial warrants, reject 287(g) agreements in writing, fund $50,000 in immigration legal aid and $100,000 for food insecurity, and end the Clemis DHS contract. Chair Woodward detailed steps already taken — non-public area restrictions, no 287(g) appetite, Clemis contract expiring March 31 — and the civil rights ad hoc committee meets next Tuesday. Speakers called the actions insufficient and demanded written, codified policies.
Board of Commissioners - Feb 19, 2026
Dozens of residents described ICE raids, detentions and fear across Oakland County and demanded local action beyond a symbolic state-legislation resolution. The board passed one ICE facilities/masked-agent resolution 12-4 but sent four stronger proposals to a new ad hoc committee.
