Michigan Governor Faces Criticism Over Rental Subsidy for Illegal Immigrants

The backlash intensifies after a murder allegedly committed by a beneficiary of the program.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is facing backlash over a new rental subsidy program aimed at aiding illegal immigrants by offering landlords up to $500 to house them.
The controversy intensified following the murder of Ruby Garcia, allegedly by an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported.
Critics, including Tudor Dixon, argue that the program endangers community safety by supporting unvetted illegal immigrants.
The program, known as the Newcomer Rental Subsidy, is designed to facilitate social integration and provide housing assistance for up to 12 months.
Whitmer's administration has not responded to inquiries about the backlash or the implications of the murder on the program's future.
