Outcome
Michigan Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that a federal regulation cannot serve as the basis for exempting public records from disclosure under Michigan's FOIA statute. The case was remanded to the trial court, favoring the ACLU's position that records related to an ICE detainee must be disclosed unless exempted by an actual statute.
