HB 5494 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Property: conveyance of state property; sale of state property to federal immigration and customs enforcement; prohibit. Amends 1984 PA 431 (MCL 18.1101 - 18.1594) by adding sec. 256.

HB 5494 prohibits Michigan state agencies or anyone acting on behalf of the state from selling or transferring state-owned property to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or its subsidiaries. It requires that any property transfer must include a restriction banning the property from being used as an immigration detention center by ICE, federal contractors, or private companies working with the federal government. The state can reclaim the property if this restriction is violated, and any transfer violating these rules is legally void. This directly affects state property transactions and limits federal immigration enforcement use of Michigan land.
