Episode Description

Detroit's police chief vowed to fire two officers who called U.S. Border Patrol during traffic stops, violating department policy and leading to federal detentions. Eight days later, he backed down.

Ahead of the Board of Police Commissioners' vote on the officers' misconduct, Robyn Vincent spoke with Noah Kincade from Outlier Media's Documenters program, which trains community members to attend public meetings and hold city leaders accountable. Their documentation helped reveal the problem goes beyond two officers.
