American Values Preservation Act

A bill to affirm the exclusive supremacy of the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Michigan in all Michigan courts, contracts, and public institutions; to prohibit the recognition or enforcement of any foreign law that conflicts with constitutional rights; to strengthen protections against forced marriage, female genital mutilation, honor-based violence, and polygamy; to require full cooperation with federal immigration enforcement; to limit foreign-government funding of public education; to mandate accurate civic and historical education; to protect free speech; and to preserve the rule of American law in every Michigan community.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

Section 1. Short Title.

This act shall be known and may be cited as the “Michigan American Law Supremacy and Cultural Continuity Act.”

Section 2. Legislative Findings.

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) The Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Michigan are the supreme law within Michigan. No foreign legal system may override the rights they guarantee.

(b) Practices such as forced marriage, female genital mutilation, honor-based violence, and polygamy violate the rights of women and children and are incompatible with Michigan law.

(c) Parallel dispute-resolution systems that deny constitutional protections, particularly to women and children, undermine the rule of law.

(d) Public institutions must remain free of undisclosed foreign-government funding that advances agendas hostile to constitutional governance.

(e) This act addresses conduct, foreign law, and the protection of constitutional rights. It does not target any religion, peaceful religious exercise, or lawfully present individuals who assimilate to American legal and civic norms.

(f) All provisions shall be applied consistent with the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, due process, and federal law.

Section 3. American Law Supremacy.

(1) No court, arbitrator, administrative body, or public institution in Michigan shall enforce or give effect to any foreign law, including any form of Sharia or other religious or foreign legal code, if doing so would violate a right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of the State of Michigan.

(2) Choice-of-law or choice-of-forum clauses in contracts are unenforceable to the extent they would result in the application of foreign law that denies constitutional protections.

(3) Any tribunal, council, or alternative-dispute-resolution body operating in Michigan that systematically denies parties the rights secured by the state or federal constitution is prohibited from exercising coercive authority and shall have no legal effect.

Section 4. Protection of Women and Children.

(1) Female genital mutilation is a felony. Performing, consenting to, or facilitating FGM on a minor shall carry severe penalties, including mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment.

(2) Forced marriage, including any marriage of a minor under coercion or without lawful consent, is prohibited and subject to felony prosecution.

(3) Honor-based violence and related coercive control shall be prosecuted to the fullest extent of existing criminal law, with enhanced penalties where the offense is motivated by perceived family or cultural honor.

(4) Polygamous marriages have no legal recognition in Michigan.

(5) Mandatory reporting duties for educators, medical personnel, and social-service workers are strengthened for suspected FGM, forced marriage, or honor-based abuse.

Section 5. Immigration Enforcement and Assimilation.

(1) All Michigan law-enforcement agencies shall fully cooperate with federal immigration authorities, honor ICE detainers, and support the removal of individuals who are unlawfully present, have criminal convictions, or have ties to designated terrorist organizations.

(2) State-funded benefits and in-state tuition shall require proof of lawful status, consistent with federal law.

(3) Legal immigrants and refugees participating in state integration or benefits programs shall receive instruction in the Constitution, individual rights, the supremacy of secular law, and English proficiency. Supremacist ideologies that reject constitutional equality are incompatible with receipt of certain state benefits.

(4) The State calls for strengthened federal vetting and a temporary pause on refugee resettlement into already high-concentration areas until assimilation capacity and security standards are verified.

Section 6. Public Safety and Counter-Extremism.

(1) The existing state counter-terrorism and intelligence-sharing framework is strengthened to monitor and disrupt material support for designated foreign terrorist organizations and networks that advocate the replacement of constitutional governance with foreign theocratic rule.

(2) No individual or group may establish or operate private patrols that enforce foreign religious rules or intimidate residents into compliance with norms contrary to Michigan law.

(3) Individuals on federal terror watchlists or credibly linked to material support for ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, or similar organizations shall be prioritized for investigation, prosecution, and, where applicable, removal.

Section 7. Education and Foreign Funding.

(1) Public-school curriculum shall include accurate instruction in American constitutional government, Western legal traditions, and historical facts concerning the treatment of women, religious minorities, and dissenters under various legal systems, without ideological distortion.

(2) Public universities and K-12 schools shall not accept funding or program partnerships from foreign governments or foreign-government proxies that condition the funding on the promotion of ideologies incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. All foreign funding shall be publicly disclosed.

(3) Free-speech protections are affirmed. True threats, intimidation, and violence used to silence criticism of any ideology remain fully prosecutable. Whistleblowers and journalists who expose unlawful parallel systems or extremism are protected.

Section 8. Local Authority and Transparency.

(1) Local governments retain authority to enforce neutral zoning, occupancy, and public-nuisance ordinances on a non-discriminatory basis.

(2) Citizenship verification for voter registration and accurate census practices shall be strictly enforced within the limits of federal law.

(3) An annual public report shall document enforcement of foreign-law bans, FGM and forced-marriage prosecutions, immigration-cooperation metrics, foreign-funding disclosures, and related outcomes.

Section 9. Enforcement.

The Attorney General and county prosecutors shall enforce this act. Knowing violations by public officials may result in removal proceedings and loss of state funding to non-compliant entities.

Section 10. Severability.

If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act and the application of its provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected. No provision shall be construed to prohibit the peaceful exercise of religion protected by the First Amendment.

Section 11. Effective Date.

This act takes effect 90 days after enactment.

Enacting Section.

This act is ordered to take immediate effect.

American Law Only.

Constitutional Rights for Every Resident.

No Parallel Legal Systems. Protect Women and Children. Michigan First.
