Undocumented immigrants in Detroit who opt to get the COVID-19 vaccine at the TCF Center, which serves as the city’s main vaccination site, will not be targeted by immigration enforcement according to the Detroit Health Department.
“As of now, there is no sign of this and the site is accessed, controlled and any unusual federal activity would be flagged by the TCF staff,” Detroit Health Department nurse Hannah Ewing said at COVID313, a virtual townhall on Thursday. The event was hosted by the Community Education Commission, a nonprofit organization that partners with the City of Detroit, and 482Forward, a community advocacy organization focused on education.
