Michigan plan to give immigrants driver's licenses allows concealed carry permits
A package of bills that would permit people who are in the United States illegally to obtain state driver's licenses in Michigan would also allow them to get concealed pistol licenses, critics said, if they lied about their immigration status during the application process.
The Drive SAFE (Safety, Access, Freedom and the Economy) bill package, HB 4410-4412 and SB 265-267, was introduced last year in both the Democratic-controlled state House and Senate. A similar package of bills was initiated in both chambers, then controlled by Republicans, in 2021 but didn't move beyond committee hearings.
Immigration rights groups have been lobbying for the legislation, including holding a Tuesday rally at the Michigan Capitol to urge the passage of the proposals in the lame-duck session before Republicans take power next year in the House.
If passed, the measures would allow non-U.S. citizens to obtain Michigan driver's licenses regardless of their immigration status or U.S. citizenship. The bills also would prohibit the Secretary of State's office from sharing information about those applicants with federal immigration authorities.

The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. The regulator took order for the search and seizure operation from Judge Purushottam B Jadhav, Sebi Special Judge / Additional Sessions Judge. The regulator said it has been undertaking several campaigns to educate the investors to be vigilant while taking investment decisions based on stock tips. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change.
