Dearborn — As worries about immigration enforcement surge and the Trump administration continues its broad push for mass deportations, local advocates are reminding immigrants of all residency statuses to know their rights during interrogations, arrests or raids.
The Arab American Civil Rights League had originally planned a press conference for later in the week, but the organization moved it up to Monday after receiving a steady stream of calls over the weekend.
"I know it's causing a lot of anxiety in the community," said Nabih Ayad, ACRL's founder and chair. "The community's on edge."
The surge in immigration enforcement is causing particular concern in Dearborn, whose heavily Muslim-immigrant population voted for Trump in November.
