Skirmish in Michigan

The skirmish in Michigan took place on February 5, 2021, in Dearborn, Michigan, as part of the wider civil rights crisis in the state. Governor James Royce reauthorized his police orders targeting Muslim citizens following the Kirkman-Vargas interview, which Royce used to claim that U.S. President Tom Kirkman was an illegitimate president and his order halting Michigan police was therefore invalid. Kirkman deployed his special advisor Emily Rhodes as a legal observer for an anti-Royce protest organized by the Islamic American Coalition in Dearborn, and upon her arrival, Royce and state police blocked her from leaving her aircraft.
