ALT “Unsurprisingly, the Trump administration is at it again – unlawfully sidestepping procedures to impose vague and confusing conditions on federal contracts. The federal government rushed this process without providing clear guidance, so my colleagues and I are back in court to protect our states and ensure that resident services are not disrupted by these illegal demands,” said Attorney General Nessel.

ALT “Michiganders are already facing an energy affordability crisis and should not have to pay a single penny to service a data center. Many of these contract terms are meant to be financial safeguards against stranded assets, bad bets, and failed investments to protect both DTE and their customers over twenty years, and they need to be carefully considered. The MPSC must ensure that ratepayers are protected and that any purported benefits from this project go toward lowering bills for families, not padding utility profits,” said Attorney General Nessel.

ALT “Through the Michigan Human Trafficking Commission, my office does tremendous work spreading awareness, prosecuting traffickers, and improving our laws to better protect survivors,” said Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. “This newsletter will serve as another important tool to share resources and highlight our efforts to combat human trafficking. I encourage anyone interested in addressing this crisis to sign up and receive updates.” This image features a split design with text on the left and a person in a store aisle on the right.

ALT "If someone approaches you with a home improvement deal that seems too good to pass up, or pressures you to act right away, you should be skeptical. Before jumping into a major project, do your homework, get multiple quotes, and never hesitate to say no to an offer that isn’t best for you," said Attorney General Nessel.

ALT A person stands in a courtroom setting, wearing a prison jumpsuit. The image features text stating: "AG Nessel rebukes COA ruling to overturn conviction of Joseph Morrison. Pledges to appeal ruling and judges' finding that kidnapping not a violent felony." Source noted as The Detroit News.

ALT Quote from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel: This ruling is completely and irredeemably nonsensical, outrageous and irresponsible. For the panel to declare that kidnapping is not a violent felony strains all legal credibility and insults the intelligence of every person in this State. The Court twists itself into a knot using legal and linguistic gymnastics in order to liberate dangerous criminals using convoluted definitions of the crimes upon which they were convicted. The fact that the ruling comes a mere two days following the argument belies the eagerness to which the Court sought a means to justify this end.”

ALT Quote from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel: "This wasn’t an abstract or peaceful kidnapping case. The evidence presented at trial explicitly proved a considered and coordinated plan among these men to kidnap and brutally murder the Governor, killing as many members of law enforcement and residents of the community as necessary along the way. Kidnapping is violent and it is a felony. A unanimous Jackson County jury found Joseph Morrison guilty of every count against him after less than two days of deliberations. That this panel of judges found a way to excuse from these crimes their foundation in violence irresponsibly and unfathomably diminishes and whitewashes the crimes of Joseph Morrison and his many codefendants. It sends a deeply dangerous message, in a fraught and perilous time.”

ALT Quote from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel: "My office will not allow this to stand. We will not downplay violent terrorism, we will not accept violent threats against our elected leaders, and we will not abide the arbitrary defanging of the criminal statutes that preserve public safety and order in the State of Michigan. To restore sanity, protect our public servants, and uphold the rule of law, we are appealing this preposterous decision.”

ALT “Our hospitals, universities, and manufacturing industry rely on skilled workers to keep our communities healthy and moving forward. Unlawfully imposing a massive fee on recruiting this talent would have been detrimental to our economy, and I am relieved that the Court has stepped in to ensure Michigan employers can continue to attract the workers they need,” said Attorney General Nessel.

ALT “While the Trump administration has repeatedly tried to slap vague and unlawful conditions on essential federal funding, I am relieved that courts across the country have, time and again, sided with the rule of law and residents who rely on these resources to get by. My office remains committed to fighting on behalf of Michigan families to ensure they never have their basic needs weaponized to advance a political agenda,” said Attorney General Nessel.

I am incredibly grateful to Operation Survivor Justice for securing a conviction for this victim, who had to wait years for justice.
