“The bill refunds the estimated tariff revenue collected from these illegal tariffs through direct payments.”

“The goal is for meaningful relief from higher costs that families have been forced to pay over the last year as a result of Trump’s chaos.”

“I think this is owed to the American people and to the people of Michigan.”

Michigan Congress member Haley Stevens is introducing legislation Thursday that would direct the Treasury Department to send rebate checks of up to $1,700 to eligible households to offset the estimated $231 billion Americans paid because of President Donald Trump's tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

While some businesses have received tariff refunds, American families who absorbed higher prices on everything from groceries to manufacturing inputs have received nothing, the release said.

“Yet again, we see this administration abusing power, going way too far in terms of the federal grants-making process. Here in Michigan, we have countless organizations, nonprofits, schools, heck, even sometimes places of worship that are going through the federal grants-making process. “

“They want to say if it doesn’t fit their political purposes, they can stop the federal grant. And it opens up to clawing back money or charging enterprises who have received federal grants from years ago.”

Members of Congress have introduced a resolution, a legislation they say is gonna prevent the politicization of the federal grant process. Joining us live now is Representative Haley Stevens, one of the Members of Congress to introduce the act.

“We’ve seen some continued overreaches from the current administration, particularly out of the Office of Management and Budget. They put together a pretty aggressive, what we call rulemaking, around federal grants that are gonna really impact, what’s really gonna impact Michigan.”

Here at home, Representative Haley Stevens is stepping up her fight to stop an ICE detention facility from being placed in the area.

Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it would be opening a facility in Romulus. Representative Stevens, as well as other local members of Congress, have now sent a letter to DHS calling on it to reverse that decision.

Five Democratic U.S. Representatives from Michigan sent a letter on Thursday to Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin to oppose the development of a planned ICE detention facility in Romulus.

Rep. Haley Stevens of Birmingham led the letter and was joined by Reps. Debbie Dingell of Ann Arbor, Hillary Scholten of Grand Rapids, Kristen McDonald Rivet of Bay City, and Shri Thanedar of Detroit — almost the entire Democratic delegation to the U.S. House from Michigan.

A coalition of five Michigan Democrats are urging the federal government to reverse its plan to turn a warehouse in a Detroit suburb into an immigration detention center.

They sent a June 11 letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, pushing for the agency to “reverse the decision” to convert a Romulus warehouse into a 500-bed federal facility.

In a similar tack in the US, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens has introduced the Secure Aluminum Supply Chains Act, ‘which would direct the US International Trade Commission to investigate the national and economic security risks posed by US aluminium scrap exports to adversarial nations’.
