Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wants to protect illegal immigrants using taxpayer-funded Medicaid, so she’s suing President Donald Trump for exposing them. Nessel joined a coalition of blue states in a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ decision to provide Medicaid data to the Department of Homeland Security tasked with immigration enforcement.
“Dana Nessel is suing to KEEP illegal immigrants on Medicaid,” Sen. Aric Nesbitt, a Lawton Republican running for governor, posted to X. “Looks like she wants to continue her losing streak.” In June, DHHS sent information on non-citizens enrolled in Medicaid in California, Illinois, Washington state and Washington, D.C. to “to ensure that Medicaid benefits are reserved for individuals who are lawfully entitled to receive them,” department spokesman Andrew Nixon told The Associated Press. Data from the House Energy and Commerce Committee on “waste, fraud, and abuse” in Medicaid shows there’s 1.4 million illegal immigrants enrolled, 1.2 million recipients who are ineligible, and 4.8 million able bodied adults choosing not to work.

The University of Michigan is facing a federal lawsuit alleging its law school publication discriminates against straight white men. Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences filed the federal antidiscrimination lawsuit on Wednesday in the Eastern District of Michigan against the Michigan Law Review and its editors, as well as the university and its Board of Regents, MLive reports.
The voluntary membership organization contends the law review uses a “holistic review” process that prioritizes women, minorities, gay, lesbian or transgender students over straight white and Asian men with better writing scores and grades.
The lawsuit is backed by America First Legal, a nonprofit legal firm founded by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, which argues the “anti-American scheme corrupts legal education and undermines equal justice under the law.”
“No American should ever face discrimination based on their race. Yet, despite clear law on point prohibiting such discrimination and numerous Supreme Court decisions, racial discrimination continues to be pervasive throughout academia,” Gene Hamilton, AFL President, said in a statement.
“AFL will not tolerate this unconstitutional discrimination at the University of Michigan and is taking decisive action to restore meritocracy and protect American values.”
AFL contends UM, which is subsidized by tax dollars, “brazenly defies Title VI, the Equal Protection Clause, and (federal law), employing secretive selection committees to enforce diversity quotas and discriminatory citation policies that favor ‘underrepresented’ authors while penalizing white scholars, including underrepresented Republicans and Protestant Christians.”
“Until recently, membership on the Law Review was an academic honor reserved for students who were selected on account of their first-year grades and their performance on a writing competition,” according to the lawsuit.
“But left-wing students and affirmative-action devotees at the University of Michigan Law School were unhappy with the demographic makeup produced by merit-based selection,” it continued.
“So the Michigan Law Review, with the approval and acquiescence of the University of Michigan general counsel’s office, has implemented a corrupt and illegal scheme of race and sex preferences to select its student members.”
