ICE is no longer sharing locations of detainees who are subject to final deportation orders as of Sept. 15, per @AP. They report that the change could speed deportations by making last-minute legal challenges harder to pursue, immigration lawyers said. apnews.com/article/ice-detai…

Michigan Supreme Court denies relief to the citizens-only voting ballot measure, writing "Because the actions taken by the Board of State Canvassers in this case were discretionary, mandamus relief cannot issue." Justice Zahra (only Republican on the court) dissents in part.
An application to the Michigan Supreme Court is still pending, with no order from the state court as of this evening. Ballots must be finalized by tomorrow.

On Flock cameras from @JocelynBenson:
"As Governor, I’ll stand up to anyone who tries to take away your privacy. I’ll work with the legislature to pass clear rules for how these cameras are used, who can access the data, when it can be shared, and when it must be deleted."

The Board of State Canvassers has deadlocked on a 2-2 vote over whether or not the citizens-only voting ballot measure has enough valid signatures to make the ballot. Still not clear how the Board goes from here, but they have to be out by 5 pm - heading into public comment now.
