Thanks to the tireless efforts of prosecutors in my office and local, state, and federal law enforcement, justice has finally been served nearly three decades after this horrific murder. My office will continue to stand up for crime victims and ensure offenders are held accountable.

Sexual assault cases, especially those involving minors, can be exceptionally challenging. I would like to thank the Michigan State Police and prosecutors in my office for their dedication and hard work in ensuring this case moves forward to trial.

The costs of maintaining production at the plant, long since prepared for closure, could be an enormous burden on the rate-paying customers of Consumers Energy. And that’s before taking into account the environmental and public health costs of continuing to fuel a coal-powered plant.

In particular, if this arbitrary and unlawful order is allowed to stand, the only effect Michiganders will feel will be the pinch in their pockets.

The closure of this coal-powered electric plant has been planned for years, the utility made all due preparations to maintain our energy load without it, and the closure has been agreed to and cited in settlements affecting customer costs.

No amount of money can undo the harm caused, but we are already seeing funds from other settlements make a real difference in prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts.

Nonetheless, my office will be in contact with legislative and elected leaders as we navigate this heartbreaking news.

My office remains in continuous contact with Michigan State Police and other authorities as we learn all we can about this tragedy and assess any potential threats in Michigan. At this time, my department is not aware of any emergent danger in our state related to these shootings.

This is a devastating attack on public servants, public service, and our shared values as Americans. We cannot tolerate political violence anywhere in this country and it must be met with the strongest, universal condemnation everywhere and every time.

The Trump Administration does not have the authority to terminate congressionally created and funded programs simply because it wants to.

I am pleased that this case is now headed to trial, as it brings us closer to making it clear Michigan will not be a safe haven for the heinous trafficking trade.

Meta must do more to protect its users from these deceptive advertisements, especially when the company profits from the very ads that fuel this fraud.

I commend the investigative efforts of the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Department and the Michigan State Police and remain committed to ensuring those who commit such serious dereliction of duty are held accountable.

The Michigan Department of Attorney General stands ready to vigorously fight back against any illegal federalization of our National Guard or the unwarranted invitation of the military onto Michigan streets.

Peaceful protests can accomplish many great things, but when civil disobedience leads to property damage and violence, our voices cease to be heard. We cannot invite this overreaching federal administration into our towns where our neighbors may be already vulnerable.

This administration will seek any open door to land federalized enforcement in our communities, as made clear in California.

And comply with police orders if confronted by members of law enforcement—violence against law enforcement officers and unlawful obstruction of their efforts put all involved in danger and destroy the purpose of peaceful protest.

Amplify our voices with the strength of your numbers and your message, not property damage and destruction of community resources others depend upon.

Get your permits, and make your statement where you are lawfully allowed to express yourself, where private businesses or institutions will not have you forcibly removed before you’ve made your point.

To any Michiganders planning, coordinating, or encouraging protest activity to publicly denounce this abuse of power by the President, I urge you to demonstrate peacefully, and in accordance with the law.

This is an affront to state sovereignty and domestic rule of law and should not be acceptable to the people of California or anywhere in America.

In Los Angeles, the President is again manufacturing a national crisis to expand his command over Americans, and may be prepared to invoke the Insurrection Act.

The President has declared unfounded emergencies over our domestic energy supply, global trade deficits, both the Northern and Southern borders; all to command illegal authority and wield extreme domestic powers from the White House. fr
