Michigan

The US Justice Department will launch its nationwide American Tour Against Hate in Michigan, bringing federal officials and resources directly to communities confronting antisemitism.

Abdul El-Sayed announced an October 24 campaign appearance with Barack Obama in Detroit, as Michigan’s Senate race divides Jewish voters.

The nurse "told the interviewers that she did not agree with ICE separating people from their families and that she knew she 'was going to set him free,'" an FBI special agent wrote.

Nonnegotiable Michigan emphasized that the initiative is an invitation for candidates to engage with Jewish voters, not an ultimatum.

Iman Dashti, a student at the University of Michigan, confronted Abdul El-Sayed at a town hall event and pressed El-Sayed on whether he stood unequivocally against the IRGC.

"I haven't heard anything from you about the protesters, Abdul," an audience member said. "That silence had a gaping hole in our community and I want to ask if you regret that silence"

The resolution, introduced by Rep. Gina Johnsen, emphasizes that "The State of Israel has a right to exist, and denying this is a form of antisemitism."

"We talked about the work we can do together to build a more just and peaceful future for our communities here in Michigan," El-Sayed wrote in the post, adding "Shana tova and shavua tov!"

An evacuation order within one mile of the site was issued by the Grand Traverse County Emergency Management, and a shelter has been established at the nearby Kensington Church.

Sander Levin endorses Abdul El-Sayed despite disagreements over Israel, as Michigan Jewish voters remain divided.
