Detroit mayor faces criticism from migrant groups over language used for undocumented immigrants
- Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan faced backlash from nine immigrant rights organizations for using the term 'illegal' to describe undocumented immigrants, which they deemed dehumanizing and inappropriate.
- The groups emphasized that a 'welcoming city' should avoid public statements attacking individuals based on immigration status, as stated in their press release.
- Duggan defended his remarks as a matter of 'political correctness' and reiterated Detroit's policy of cooperating with federal immigration authorities regarding undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
- The immigrant community is a vital part of Detroit's economy and culture, according to Jasmine Rivera, co-executive director of Rising Voices.
