Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy has resigned from the board of LACASA Center, a nonprofit advocating for victims of child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual violence, due to backlash from hosting former President Donald Trump at the sheriff’s office. Murphy stated he stepped down to avoid overshadowing LACASA's mission, emphasizing his long-term commitment and contributions over nearly 25 years. The visit by Trump was criticized as inappropriate and led to accusations that Murphy may have violated campaign finance laws by using public resources for political purposes. LACASA, while grateful for Murphy's service, acknowledged the necessity of avoiding distractions from their critical work. The resignation followed calls from some board members and community outcry over Murphy's actions.
