The FBI has arrested a former member of the Michigan Army National Guard who prosecutors said was inspired by Islamic State to plan a mass shooting at a military base outside Detroit. Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19 years old, spent months plotting to attack the facility with the help of two people he believed were ISIS supporters, but who were actually undercover agents, according to a criminal complaint. Agents arrested Said just before he allegedly intended to attack on Tuesday, when he launched a drone over the base to conduct aerial...

Imam Husham Al-Husainy, a known supporter of Iraqi Hezbollah with ties to Iran, is scheduled to deliver a 'prayer' at Trump's inauguration. He previously delivered a prayer at a Democratic National Committee (DNC) event, where he attacked the U.S. He has a history of supporting Hezbollah and the Houthis, including defending attacks on American ships in Yemen and calling for the death of Saudis, whom he labeled "agents of the Jews." Following his DNC speech, he refused to denounce Hezbollah during an appearance on "Hannity" and reportedly displayed a portrait of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah. Al-Husainy signed a letter encouraging "Holy...

Greens in Dearborn have submitted a proposal to the Green Party of Michigan to establish a state caucus for Arab and Muslim Americans. Dearborn is home to the largest Muslim population in the country proportional to its size, and gave the party’s recent presidential ticket one of its strongest showings nationwide. “Establishing a caucus within the Green Party dedicated to representing the Arab and Muslim American communities will provide a platform for advocacy on issues specific to these communities, including civil rights, anti-discrimination efforts, fair immigration policies, and peace-oriented foreign policy,” states the proposal by the Dearborn Greens, published in...

CV NEWS FEED // Results show that Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan played a significant role in President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the crucial battleground state this week. As CatholicVote previously noted, “Michigan has the highest percentage of Arab-American residents out of all the states (2.1%),” with the community’s estimated population in the state being between 220,000 and 400,000. For decades before the 2024 election, Arab and Muslim Americans voted heavily for the Democratic Party. However, two Detroit suburbs – in majority-Arab Dearborn and majority-Muslim Hamtramck – dramatically swung toward Trump and away from Kamala Harris, with the president-elect...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a member of the progressive faction in the House referred to as the “Squad,” refused to back Vice President Kamala Harris during a Michigan United Auto Workers rally just days ahead of the election. With union workers forming a critical component of the Democratic base, Tlaib joined Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in rallying supporters in Detroit on Friday evening in a bid to shore up blue party support in the battleground state. Yet while Jayapal and Ocasio-Cortez urged workers to vote for Harris, Tlaib never mentioned her name. Tlaib has been a...

Ford Motor Company is halting production of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck at a Michigan factory, the auto giant announced Thursday. Just three years ago, President Joe Biden and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D., Mich.) visited the plant to celebrate the truck's rollout, calling it an "incredible facility" that shows there's "no limit to what American ingenuity and manufacturing can accomplish." Ford—which, like other major automakers, has struggled to keep its EV business afloat—will shutter the Dearborn, Michigan, manufacturing plant beginning on Nov. 18 and until Jan. 6, 2025. "We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales...

Former President Donald Trump became the first major party presidential candidate to visit Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday, venturing into the majority-Arab and predominantly Muslim town, which had once been hostile territory. Trump’s message there was simple: he is asking for the people’s vote, and he is promising peace in the Middle East. The former president received a raucous welcome inside a restaurant, with fans shouting: “The best president ever!” Journalists, following Trump, shouted questions. “What about the Muslim ban?” one yelled, referring to Trump’s travel ban on terror-prone states (which was never a Muslim ban, an idea he proposed on...

Leftists are losing their minds over a cartoon depicting “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) with an exploding pager, howling “Islamophobia” over the satirical depiction of the virulently antisemitic lawmaker. In what is being described as an “ingenious” operation attributed to Israeli intelligence, the pagers belonging to members of the Hezbollah terror organization were remotely detonated after a message was sent to the devices which aren’t as easily trackable as cellphones, causing a major disruption to the network that left hundreds badly wounded and reportedly claimed at least 20 lives. The cartoon which portrays the Muslim Michigan bomb thrower sitting...

Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday that she supported the Biden-Harris administration’s threat to Israel over humanitarian conditions for Palestinians in Gaza — though she denied it warned of an arms embargo. As Breitbart News reported, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin issued a threat of cutting off arms earlier this week in a letter to Israeli officials. The letter was leaked and the Biden-Harris administration confirmed the threat. It caused an outcry, including protest from former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren, who said that the threat by the administration “casts doubts on America’s dependability as an ally and...

A recent rally in Dearborn, Michigan, featured late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s infamous hand gesture and threat to American troops, echoing an infamous speech where he mocked U.S. forces and warned they would return home “horizontally” in coffins. Earlier this month, a rally titled “Stand with Lebanon” was held outside the Dearborn Police Department in Michigan. Among the signs carried by protesters, one prominently displayed the distinctive hand gesture of the late Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, accompanied by the misspelled words, “You will be return horizontaly [sic] The placard referenced a notorious speech Nasrallah gave in Lebanon, during which he...

People keep asking me why Arab American citizens are moving toward voting for Trump. My answer? They are already Trump supporters – and enthusiastic ones. But they aren’t registered to vote and keep telling us they don’t know where or how to vote. My husband and I started the Conservative American Middle Eastern PAC – or CAM PAC – in October 2024 after a Trump supporting friend told us how much he was hurting financially but that he still wasn’t registered to vote. Seeing this gap in Republican outreach to register Middle Eastern Americans, we couldn’t wait for someone else...

The Abandon Harris campaign announced on Monday that it is backing the Green Party’s presidential ticket of Dr. Jill Stein and Dr. Butch Ware. The announcement coincided with the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. The group announced its endorsement in a statement, calling on the Muslim-American community and “all those who stand firmly against genocide” to support the Green Party ticket. While the group said it does not view voting as a standalone solution, it regards the act as a “critical element” in resisting injustice and a tool that must be wielded “ethically.” “A vote...

The mayor of the only city in the United States with an all-Muslim government has endorsed former President Donald Trump for November’s presidential election. Amer Ghalib, who leads the city of Hamtramck in the crucial battleground state of Michigan, said on Sunday that the Republican candidate is a “man of principles” and “the right choice”, despite their disagreements on some issues. “President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles,” Ghalib said in a post on Facebook.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin’s (D-MI) Facebook campaign ads target Muslim voters while ignoring Jewish voters, according to a Free Beacon analysis. Slotkin’s campaign, which is trying to defeat former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) in Michigan’s Senate race, appears to be worried about retaining the significant Muslim vote in the state amid the Biden-Harris administration’s inability to strike a ceasefire with Hamas. Critics ripped Slotkin in April for a “weak response” to those who sympathize with pro-Hamas beliefs in Dearborn, Michigan, where agitators proclaimed “death to America” and “death to Israel.” Slotkin called for a ceasefire in February after Michigan protesters arrived...

The Democrat mayor of a community with many Arab-Americans in Wayne County, Michigan, who helped lead the uncommitted movement in the Democrat primary, told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that his meeting with former President Donald Trump last week “was very productive” and well received by the community, which traditionally votes Democrat. Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib (D) spoke with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle in a nearly 20-minute segment on the program on the heels of his meeting with Trump in Flint, Michigan. Hamtramck, along with Dearborn and other cities in Wayne County, have sizable Muslim and Arab-American...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Capitol Police responded to an urgent call amid reports of a loud disturbance in the congressional offices today. Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was later reportedly uninjured after her pager mysteriously exploded. The incident occurred earlier Tuesday in Tlaib's Capitol Hill office, where her pager had been sitting on a desk before spontaneously detonating, causing a significant scare but leaving no reported injuries. "It just blew up right out of nowhere!" one of Tlaib's staffers said following the explosion. "We were just going about our business, checking over the congresswoman's itinerary of Death-To-Israel protests, when there was a...
