The House was called to order by the Clerk.

The roll was called by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who announced that a quorum was not present.

Explanation of “No” Votes

Rep. MacDonell, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote pertaining to House Resolution No. 19, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Current federal law does not require local law enforcement to participate in federal immigration activities. Under this resolution, local law enforcement could be held responsible for mistakes that federal immigration enforcement make - as was the case in 2019, when the city of Grand Rapids paid out $140,000 to a US citizen who was unlawfully turned over to ICE for deportation proceedings. Municipalities should not be punished for following federal law.”
