Lansing, MI (WGHN) – Today, Governor Whitmer issued the following statement on the planned demonstration in Dearborn Tuesday evening.
“Dearborn is home to one of the most vibrant communities in America. Its residents are our friends and our neighbors.
“Today, a group of agitators is traveling to Dearborn for the sole purpose of intimidating that community and provoking a reaction. Their plan emboldens and contributes to dangerous behavior, and I am asking every person of good will to denounce it. Their hate has no place in Michigan.
“My top priority is keeping Michiganders safe. I’ve been in contact with Mayor Hammoud, and I echo Chief Shahin and local officials: do not confront or engage with demonstrators. Together, we stand united against hate in all its forms.”
