You are listed as a Board member of the Detroit Economic Club, the group hosting Trump tomorrow.
Do you agree with DEC Board members that hosting Trump is acceptable because the DEC is “nonpartisan”?

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

But there are some people keeping vigil at the site of a murder, so I guess we gotta terrorize a neighborhood more!
