*LANSING, Mich.*—Today, in accordance with a presidential proclamation [ [link removed] ] issued by President Trump, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has ordered U.S. and Michigan flags throughout the state of Michigan to be raised immediately for the remainder of Inauguration Day on Monday, January 20, 2025.  

 

After today, flags will return to half-staff through Monday, January 27, 2025 to resume the 30-day period of flag honors for former President Jimmy Carter who passed away.  

  

To lower flags to half-staff, flags should be hoisted first to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The process is reversed before the flag is lowered for the day. 

  

Flags should be returned to full-staff on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
