Loukili didn’t know it then, but a team from the Cell to Fight Radical Islam and Community Withdrawal, or CLIR, had arrived for an inspection. AdThe MHS school had an unusual profile. Unlike private Muslim schools in France, where headscarves are also allowed, MHS did not offer religion courses. The Cell to Fight Radical Islam would also get a boost from the planned law, which would provide new legal tools to shut down facilities.

DETROIT We are here today investigating what we believe is suspected cockfighting, said Elise Ramsey of the Michigan Humane Society. The MHS and Detroit police served a search warrant at a home on Thaddius in southwest Detroit after they got a tip. The home is suspected of cockfighting breeding and being a training center. Police say about 80 birds were recovered with some already dead. It is an extremely brutal gruesome torturing sport, said Ramsey.

DETROIT The Michigan Humane Society (MHS) and several partners took possession of approximately 100 chihuahuas Thursday evening which were transported to Michigan from over-crowded animal shelters in California. The transport is part of a network of similar events across the country led by Compassion Without Borders. The group moves dogs from shelters in California into communities that eagerly want to give them forever homes. MHS, Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit, Mid-West Small Breed Rescue and the Michigan Animal Rescue League will put up a share of the dogs for adoption according to their organizational policies and procedures. If you are interested in adopting any of the dogs you are asked to contact each individual shelter to learn when they will be available.
