President Donald Trump’s campaign has released details about a rally scheduled for Tuesday in Macomb County to celebrate the 100th day of his second term.

The campaign said in an email the event will be held at 6 p.m. April 29th at the Sports & Expo Center on the South Campus of Macomb Community College on 12 Mile and Hayes roads in Warren.

Tickets for the rally, which is open to the public, are available here.

Doors are set to open at 1:45 p.m. Remarks by various elected officials will begin at 6 p.m. followed by Trump’s comments, according to the campaign.

Last week, the White House announced Trump’s visit to Michigan, his first since being elected president to a second, nonconsecutive term in office. He won the state of Michigan in both the 2016 and 2024 elections, but lost the state and the election in 2020.

Trump to hold rally in Macomb County to celebrate his first 100 days in office

The past three months have seen the president’s whirlwind approach to covering trade, international alliances and a tariffs program that has led to consumer confidence plummeting, stock markets convulsing and investors losing confidence in the credibility of Trump’s policies.

Since taking office for his second term, the president has been looking to overhaul the federal government as he attempts to cut jobs and agencies, end diversity programs, deport immigrants and launch hefty tariffs that have threatened to upend the global economic order but which he says are needed to force fairer trade deals.

In a news release, organizers said the MCC event is intended to be a “celebration of the most successful and monumental first 100 days of any administration in history.”

Macomb County was one of the southeast Michigan communities where voters favored Trump.

In November 2024, he won Michigan’s 15 electoral college votes, flipping the state again in a victory over Democrat Kamala Harris.

In Macomb, voters chose Trump over Harris, 284,660 votes to 214,977 votes, for a nearly 14-percentage point victory margin.

Trump’s favor in Michigan has wavered over the years, but his supporters have kept the vote counts close. He defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by 10,704 Michigan votes in 2016 and then lost to Democratic nominee Joe Biden by 154,188 Michigan votes four years later.

His speech is expected to touch on tariffs and an an update on Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township. He has said in recent weeks that he was working with Michigan leaders to keep the military installation  “open, strong, thriving” and hinted about the possibility of new fighter jets coming.

Earlier this month, Trump made reference to Selfridge as he was meeting with Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the Oval Office. Whitmer and other Michigan officials have long pushed for a new fighter mission to replace the outgoing A-10 squadron at Selfridge.

Macomb County All-Academic Banquet brings out the best in all

A 17-year-old Mount Clemens juvenile who allegedly broke into a house and threw an explosive device because a girl living there spurned his advances was arraigned Thursday on four felony charges.

Jonathan Brady is being held in the Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center in Mount Clemens on a $500,000 bond set by 41B District Court Magistrate Ryan Zemke.

During the arraignment proceedings, Assistant Prosecutor Maria Panchenko said the defendant confessed to committing the crimes.

“The victims in this matter are now homeless and the home that was destroyed by the explosive mortar device is no longer inhabitable,” Panchenko said. “He knew that at least two infants under the age of 1 were present, and there were people in total in the home at the time.”

Brady was arraigned on charges of:

• First-degree home invasion
• Second degree arson
• Explosives – placing near property causing property damage
• Explosives – possession of bombs with unlawful intent – causing property damage

Each of the four counts carry a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

Brady has two prior adjudications in juvenile court and has a “history of not complying” with authorities when placed on bond or probation in the past, she added. She expressed concern that Brady may threaten the safety of the girlfriend and her family should he be released.

Public defender Dana Freers said Brady, who turns 18 on May 1, last got into trouble three years ago. He was living with a family friend at the time of fire according to Freers.

The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said someone broke into the victim’s rental home on Eldredge Street about 3 a.m. April 10 and threw an explosive device — believed to be an M80 — which ignited a fire that consumed the entire house.

Mount Clemens firefighters were able to contain the blaze, but the damage was extensive, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Fire Investigation Unit was called to the scene to investigate as well.

No injuries among the seven occupants were reported.

Brady was arrested later that day.

Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said he decided to charge Brady as an adult due to the circumstances of the case.

“I did not reach the decision to charge Mr. Brady as an adult lightly. The gravity of this crime plus the need to seek justice for the victims and protect the public required this solemn action,” he said in a statement.

Lucido said that while serving in the Michigan Senate, he authored legislation that ended the prosecutorial practice of automatically charging 17 year-olds as adults to provide more discretion and fairness in the justice system. The legislation was signed into law.

“Mr. Brady is accused of committing extremely serious crimes that endangered the lives of seven people and caused a family to lose their home. I am especially outraged that the lives of multiple infants were put at risk,” Lucido said.

During the court proceedings today, the magistrate ordered Brady not to have contact with any of the victims. If he posts bond, Brady must wear a GPS tether, and he is prohibited from using drugs and alcohol. In addition, he cannot be in possession of a firearm, ammunition or any other weapons.

Unless he posts bond, Brady will remain in custody at the Macomb Juvenile Justice Center (JJC) until at least May 1, 2025, when he turns age 18. After that date, the JJC will have the discretion to continue to incarcerate Brady or transfer him to the Macomb County Jail.

Brady will have his probable cause conference and preliminary examination hearing within 21 days before 41-B District Court Judge Sabastian Lucido.

Delvon Lee, who was renting the house with Michelle Lee, have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise a goal amount of $10,000 for essential items, because they literally have nothing left. Flames and smoke badly damaged the interior and all of the family’s belongings.
