Backers of the Obama administration's promise to overhaul U.S. immigration laws are holding a town hall meeting at a Detroit church.
State Rep. Rachida Tlaib (rah-SHEE-dah tah-LEEB), D-Detroit, is among the sponsors of the Wednesday night event at St. Anne's Church.
Organizers say the meeting is part of a national effort to overhaul U.S. immigration policies.
The Comprehensive Immigration Reform and American Security and Prosperity Act was introduced in Congress on Dec. 12.
Participants include Monsignor Don Hanchon of Holy Redeemer Church , the Revs. Thomas Sepulveda of St. Anne's and John Pitts of Temple of Praise International Church, and Chris Michalakis of the United Food and Commercial Workers union.
