Dhillon pointed out that obstructing access to a house of worship is a federal offense
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, declared that the Department of Justice will not stand for mob intimidation or interference targeting places of worship in response to an incident in Manhattan where a pro-Palestinian group surrounded Park East Synagogue.
The incident took place when Park East Synagogue, under the leadership of 95-year-old Holocaust survivor Rabbi Arthur Schneier, held a legal informational event organized by Nefesh B’Nefesh, a group that helps Jews immigrate to Israel.
