LANSING, Mich. â From protests to petitions, even violent threats, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has faced immense blowback since the start of the pandemic for using executive power to issue orders to limit the spread of COVID-19. Michigan lawmakers will soon vote on repealing the decades-old law the governor used to put forth COVID-related restrictions early on.
The Michigan Board of State Canvassers voted 3-0 Tuesday to certify the âUnlock Michiganâ petition, a signature drive that seeks to repeal the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governorâs Act. The approval comes a month after the Michigan Supreme Court ordered the board to certify the petition signatures, after they were initially deadlocked on party lines.

Is Cuban-Americans’ highway protest in Miami breaking Florida’s new anti-riot law? Ana Ceballos , Charles Rabin, Miami Herald
Dozens of people supporting the growing anti-government protests in Cuba clogged one of Miami’s busiest highways all afternoon and well into rush hour Tuesday, a show of solidarity that could put them in violation of a new law championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The new law, known as the “anti-riot” law, is clear: A person shall be cited for a pedestrian violation if they “willfully obstruct the free, convenient, and normal use of a public street, highway or road.” For instance, if a person stands or remains on a street, highway or roadway, they would be in violation of a section in state laws that would subject them to a $15 traffic citation.
