Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) released the following statement on two reported incidents in Ann Arbor.
 
“Over the weekend there were two more reported incidents of assault against individuals potentially because of their faith or religion. As a community we must support law enforcement in investigating the facts and holding all perpetrators accountable. Violence, hateful language, or threats toward anyone are unacceptable and each of us must stand up against them to protect our neighbors. Antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, and sexism are happening too often and have no place in our communities or anywhere in our country. We cannot allow this behavior to be normalized, ignored, or tolerated, and most importantly, we cannot let this define who we are. I am concerned about increasing incidents of hate and people being pitted against each other, and about the factors at work stirring up hate and division. We must remain especially vigilant as we grow nearer to the election and outside forces may seek to inflame hatred, division, and controversy.”
