Michigan’s top civil rights officer has waded into a small city’s decision whether to approve the conversion of a former nursing home into a shelter for illegal alien minors.

Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) Executive Director John Johnson wrote a letter to the Alma city commission on Aug. 9 warning that “race, color, and/or national origin” must not be factors in its consideration to rezone a parcel of land so that a former nursing home can be used to house unaccompanied alien minors who crossed the U.S. border illegally.
