There have been reported sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents throughout northern Michigan. This place, like many in the country, is watching Minneapolis and wondering whether similar scenes could play out here.

IPR's Claire Keenan-Kurgan walks us through what we know and looks into some of the rumors of ICE activity that have spread on social media.

We'll also talk with Kelly House from Bridge Michigan about a new study that says PFAS contamination is declining in Great Lakes fish. What's behind that improvement, and what does it mean for our future?

Claire joined Interlochen Public Radio in summer 2024. She covers general assignment news with a focus on labor, growth, and the economy of northern Michigan.
