Detroit City Councilman Fred Durhall III, who is serving his first term on the council, has officially launched his bid for mayor.

The former state lawmaker, a first-term councilman, is the latest to join the field vying to replace Mayor Mike Duggan.

As President Donald Trump toughens immigration enforcement, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said his city will continue to work with federal agencies as it did under previous presidents. Speaking to reporters at a policy conference hosted by a business group, Duggan reiterated the city's policy that is not a sanctuary city, but a welcoming city.
