Haashiim once owned a trucking company, he says his son now operates. He says he would create truck lanes to allow traffic flow to increase. Detroit needs a modern truck stop so they don’t have to park in places that infringe on communities. He says he wouldn’t allow it.

On immigration enforcement: Durhal says too many residents are living in fear: “Our police department needs to be focused on keeping our residents safe. Not cooperating or doing the job of ICE, they have their own job to do.”.

Durhal offers Rodriguez his personal number and access to his office to assist in any way: “There are folks who wanted to call the city, but because of the fear of what is happening right now (with ICE) they didn’t… That is a breakdown in our trust as government.”.
