January 27 second Kirkman-Royce call

The January 27 second Kirkman-Royce conversation took place on January 27, 2021, from the Treaty Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., between U.S. President Tom Kirkman and Michigan governor James Royce. The webcast call took place hours after the beating and killing of Muslim teenager Danny Fayad.
During the call, Kirkman ordered Royce to rescind his police order targeting Muslim citizens and release all those detained. He stated during the conversation that Michigan police inadvertently arrested three undercover Homeland Security operatives working on a federal investigation and that if Royce refused to release those detained, it would be obstruction. Kirkman bluffed the allegations of the made-up investigation to force Royce to accept his order.
