The Dearbon Hotel Illegal Immigrant Trafficking Case Gets Worse

Not only was the investigation kibboshed for some unknown reason, but it appears the Mayor's office was aware it from the moment it was "discovered":

The Detroit News: Dearborn mayor warned about families living illegally in hotel, official says

So you have illegal families, possibly being trafficked, living or held in an abandoned hotel, and all investigations into the case have been stopped cold.

Thankfully, Douglas Topolski is on this like a dog with a tasty bone, and he's doing yeoman work uncovering this case of Dearborn government corruption. If you''re on Facebook, its worth following him to see what he turns up.

Curiously Uncurious - The Strange Slow Walk And Shut-Down Of A Human Trafficking Investigation In Dearborn

Picture this if you will:  A Fire Marshall does an inspection of an "abandoned" hotel and finds evidence that families including children are residing there, there's padlocked doors and signs of a machete, indicators of people being held there against their will.

She apparently reports it - a day later - and the police just happen to take another 36 hours to decide to go over and investigate.  

By which time everyone there is gone.

The investigation is closed. 

Oh, and the Fire Depart in response to a FOIA states they have no documentation about the incident.

No need to picture it, it just happened:  

The Detroit News: Dearborn closes hotel probe despite finding 'possible human trafficking'

Dearborn Police waited 36 hours to search a hotel that's not authorized for occupancy after a deputy fire marshal reported seeing "evidence of possible human trafficking," with dozens of people, including children, potentially being held captive there, according to a Dearborn police report detailing the Sept. 22 discovery. 

 Douglas Topolski, a former Dearborn police officer who obtained the report under the Freedom of Information Act, said multiple questions about the case remain unanswered

. . . 

Topolski said he also requested any Dearborn Fire Department reports about the incident, but was told no such records existed.

"I can't imagine why the Fire Department doesn't have a report on this," he said.

Curious, isn't it? Also curious how the article fails to mention who owns the hotel, who was managing its security or any other pertinent details, at all.

Nothing to see here, move along. 

Of Course They Did

After Macklemore was kicked off Ed Sheeran’s tour following his Gaza stunt—bringing partisan politics and what critics called antisemitic imagery onto the stage—he was out.

His past antics probably didn’t help either, including a performance in which he appeared to give a Nazi-style salute while dressed as a stereotypical caricature of an Orthodox Jewish man.

Off the tour he went.

And now the predictable outrage has arrived: the Left claims his removal somehow violated his free-speech rights.

So, of course, Dearborn’s Progressive Muslim mayor has invited Macklemore to perform a free concert in Dearborn—sponsored by the city and, therefore, supported by taxpayers.

Of course.

The Detroit Free Press: Dearborn mayor invites rapper Macklemore to perform free concert

Then there’s Hamtramck, another Detroit-area city with a large Muslim population.

Its former police chief, according to reports, advised officers that wife-beating should not be treated as a formal crime because it isn’t prohibited under Sharia law.

That claim takes on an especially ugly dimension given allegations that the former chief himself repeatedly beat his wife. Those allegations are just that—allegations—but they make his reported position on domestic violence all the more disturbing.

 Law Enforcement Today: Michigan: Muslim Police Department Chief Advised Officers to Follow Sharia Law 

The chief is now out of the job amid allegations involving this conduct and other corruption issues. He was also the founder of the NYPD Muslim Officers Society and the Yemeni American Law Enforcement Officers Association, and I'm sure there's no possible issues with either of those organizations.

The larger point is difficult to miss.

A movement that presents itself as progressive and tolerant can still make plenty of room for people and ideas that are deeply hostile to liberal democratic values.

And the history is hardly new. Islamist movements have, at various times, found common cause with fascist and Nazi movements, including the infamous alliance between Nazi Germany and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem beginning in the 1930s.

How very progressive.

Ashura Thing It Is Not A Pro-Diversity March

Muslims were marching hrough the streets of Dearborn for the festival of Ashura.

Lots of religious themed flags, lots of Lebanese flags, what appears to be a Hezbollah flag, were all flying in the breeze.

Not a single American Flag in sight.

Blaze Media: 'No American flags': Calls for remigration intensify after latest Muslim demonstration in Dearborn, Michigan

 But there was, as expected, plenty of anti-semitism on  display: 

 Middle East Forum: Dearborn Heights Mosque Demonizes Israel and Its Supporters for Ashura

All the standard anti-Semitic tropes of Jews controlling the America, controlling the world and all that. Including hilariously enough, blaming Jews for the Battle of Karbala, which was strictly a Muslim on Muslim affair where those who would become the Shiites Muslims got defeated by those who would become the Sunni Muslims, with no Jews involved. 

It's ashura thing that they're not pro-America, and not much for tolerance and diversity, except when used to suit them, now isn't it?

Gov Whitmer's Pal Procrastinatingly Prosecuted

As a Michigan Democrat, you can steal from the state, but you're not supposed to be overly blatant about it, or even worse, show highly conspicuous and gauche taste in doing so.

I mean, for Democrats, it's one thing to steal $20 million from the state as a non-profit, but to spend $4,500 of it on a coffee maker and $40,000 for personal furniture? How very déclassée! 

The facts have been known for over two years now, but only now is Fay Beydoun, a prominent Democrat and Governor Whitmer's friend and fundraiser, to whom the governor steered the grant,  getting prosecuted.

Michigan Department of Atotrney General: AG Nessel Charges Fay Beydoun with 16 Felonies for Stealing Global Link International Grant Funding

The Detroit News: Fay Beydoun hit with 16 criminal charges in $20M earmark scandal

The two year delay likely was done to further protect Whitmer from her role in arranging for the $20 million grant, and there are some cracks in the current Michigan Democratic coalition between the progressive-Islamic and the left-but-sane factions that are allowing some of this to bubble up.  

Given how the Beydouns are a clan with ties and sympathies with Hezbollah, it'll be an interesting question as to how much of the stolen money went back to Lebanon or was used for propaganda purposes here in addition to Democrat graft.

Interesting political times for Democrats in Michigan.

Democrats Have Syed Enough

Democrat candidate for US Senate Abdul El-Sayed not only will not discuss the death of Ayatollah Khamenei as it might upset some of his supporters he also won't disavow Hasan Piker, an anti-American and Anti-Semitic piece of garbage - who he is touring with on his campaign.

The Detroit News: Abdul El-Sayed, Hasan Piker target critics, Iran war at Michigan events

Abdul El-Sayed has steadfastly refused to disavow Piker, who has said, among many other things, that the United states "deserved" the 9-11 attack.

Politico: Michigan Senate candidate El-Sayed declines to disavow Hasan Piker’s past comments

 What should have been an easy lay-up to try and lie to voters that he is a moderate, but El-Sayed was having none of it.

In short, he's a Democratic progressive candidate who hates America - but hey, he's claiming to offer free Healthcare, so credulous and traitorous Democrats will love him for it. 

In other news, yet another progressive Michigan Democrat candidate, Amir Makled, running for University of Michigan Board of Regents, was caught extolling terrorist group Hezbollah and making anti-Semitic comments on his Twitter feed:  The Detroit News: University of Michigan regent hopeful deleted posts praising Hezbollah leaders.

Democrats having lost the average American, are having dalliances with decidedly anti-American, anti-liberal and Islamic elements. 

This is a rather bad look for the opposition party to be consorting with supporters of anti-American terrorist groups. It's a sad commentary on how far the Democrats have fallen off the deep end and gone from a party of and for America to one being a home for and supporting the enemies of America.

The Imam Within

Yep, Imam Mohammad Elahi, from the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn is, true to form, busily praising the now deceased Iranian dictator Ayatollah Khamenei and condemning America and the US military as evil.

Memri:   Dearborn Heights Shi’ite Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi EulogizesIranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei 

Imam Elahi is very much of the Mullah's regime.  

Prior to his travel to America to propogandize on behalf of the Islamic regime, he was appointed the head Imam to the Iranian navy- as the regular navy was insuficiently zealously Islamic - in other words he was the religious zampolit for the Mullahs. He's very much a Shia twelver true believer and believes and backs the Islamic theocracy in Iran, and propagandizes on the regime's behalf here.

He's also rather popular among Democrats seeking the Islamic vote. Is he also acting as a conduit or connection between Democrat pols and the Islamic regime?  Who knows?

So, the interesting question is: Why is a known member of the Iranian Mullah's regime and propagandist for same free to unrestrictedly spread this hostile foreign regime's propaganda in America and proselytize on its behalf and their apocalyptic fanatical religion while we are in a state of open hostilities with said regime?

After All, If The Sharia Fits....

Of course, now that the attempted terrorist attack was stopped by the FBI, Islamic Civil Rights gorups in Dearborn are concerned

Because it makes Arabs and Muslims look bad, of course.

IJR: ‘Civil Rights’ Leaders Complain Media Coverage Of Terrorism Makes Arab Town Look Bad

 Norm Macdonald sure had it right.

No condemnation of the planned attack by these Arab Civil rights groups. 

No condemnation by these groups of the clear link to an Islamic radical imam that lives in Dearborn that apparently gave a coded green light for it either. 

Nope, just that talking about it makes Dearborn and the Islamic Arabs in it look bad.

Oh, and the attack's target for these Islamics?  Gay/LGBT Clubs in Ferndale.

It seems the Democrat's Green-Rainbow alliance is showing a little strain. Queers for Palestine may want to take note of the targeting choice, if only for self preservation purposes.

FBI Interdicts Terrorist Cell In Dearborn

Its rather productive when the FBI focuses on actual threats rather than say parents at PTA meetings. 

The Detroit News; FBI arrests Michiganians accused of plotting terrorist attack over Halloween weekend

 Don't you love how the headline identifies the suspects in Dearbornistan as  Michiganians?

The Detroit Free Press: Terrorist plot thwarted in Michigan, FBI Director Kash Patel says: What we know

Very little has been released identifying the suspects or the nature of the plot so far, or it has been released, and the mainstream media here has decided revealing such would be too politically incorrect. 

Apparently the terrorist attack was to take place this weekend, so good job to the FBI for interdicting that.

It's Good To Be The Mayor Of Dearbonistan

Interesting article on the upcoming mayoral election in Deaborn.

The Detroit Free Press: Dearborn candidate running for mayor vows to battle crime and blight, cut mayoral salary

One bit of info in the article stood out: 

. . .and cut by 25% Mayor Abdullah Hammoud's salary, which was higher than Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's salary last year.  

Yep, the mayor of Pro-Hamas and Hezbollah, Muslim-majority Dearborn, a city with a population of 103,000 people, gets a salary higher than that of the Governor of the entire state. Funny, that.

In 2024 he was paid $172,038 - more than 171% higher than the average pay for a mayor.  By contrast, Whitmer was paid $159,300.

Then again, Gov. Whitmer has under-performed rather markedly for this state, and Abdullah Hammoud has performed most admirably for Hamas and Hezbollah.

After all, if Hamas' leaders can feather their nests and become billionaires, why can't the pro-Hamas mayor of Dearborn make some big bucks? 

Those Tolerant Dearborn Islamics

The Detroit Free Press: Dearborn mayor tells resident he's not welcome in city after opposing sign for Arab leader

Yes, Dearborn has named a street to honor someone who is Pro-Hamas, Pro-Hezbollah, and a piece of Shiite.

Then, the Muslim mayor had the temerity to tell a resident who objectedabout such an honor being bestowed on a terrorist sympathizer and propagandist that the resident is not welcome in the city. 

That tells you quite a lot about Dearborn and its government, doesn't it? 

Let's also note the Detroit Free Press really soft walked why there was an objection to honoring Siblani: 

because of Siblani's past statements on some Middle Eastern groups. 

"Past statements on some middle eastern groups".  Way to bury the lede there Detroit Free Press, and provide cover for the Islamics. Well done.

They honored Osama Siblani, a pro-terrorist scumbag who has said, among other things:

We the Arabs, Whether in Michigan or Jenin, Will Help Bring the Palestinians to Victory over Israel, with Stones, Guns, Planes, Drones, Rockets, and Our Voices 

says Arab-American Activist Osama Siblani during Dearborn, Michigan rally. 

During a pro-Hezbollah  demonstration Siblani also said:

September rally noted chants of “death to Israel” prompted an assurance from Siblani that Hezbollah “will take care of the job.”

and charmingly: 

Siblani also offered a message to Israel’s Jews led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “We will take you back to Poland.”

 Yep, quite a man worthy of being honored in Dearbornistan. I will note that Netanyahu was born in Tel Aviv,  Israel -- not Poland.

CBS, The New York Times,  The Detroit Free Press, Michigan's Democratic Party and many others owe an apology to The Wall Street Journal and Steve Stalinsky.

Short of the Henry Ford Museum, there's no reason to go to Dearborn and support muslim pro-terrorists, at all. 

Import The Third World And All That

Arabs have a tradition of cranking off rounds into the air to celebrate things. 

They combine this with a very Insha'Allah attitude as to where the rounds may end up.

This tradition has serious issues when it meets in modern society, especially when done from a vehicle, on a highway.

The Detroit Free Press: Gunfire from rented Lamborghini during wedding procession in Dearborn leads to arrest

A wedding celebration shifted from festive to dangerous when shots were fired from a purple Lamborghini Huracán on the evening of Sunday, June 1.

The celebration involved a procession of honking vehicles that stretched from Canton to Dearborn.

Dashcam footage captured the moment someone fired a handgun out the passenger-side window of the luxury sports car near Ford and Evergreen roads, prompting an investigation by Dearborn police.

Officers tracked the festivities to a banquet hall in Dearborn Heights, according to Dearborn police. The rented Lamborghini was impounded, and an anonymous tip later led to the arrest of a person of interest now facing a charge of reckless discharge of a firearm.

No matter how happy you are that someone tied the knot, you don't drive down a highway cranking off rounds into the air, flashy car or no.  The article has a heckuva nice picture of the shooter in the Lambo cranking off some rounds.

You're responsible for every round that leaves your firearm. It's not just unacceptable to hoof rounds into the air in traffic (or just about anywhere else for that matter), it is irresponsible and indeed criminal to do so.  So, don't.

Remember When Gretch, Biden, And Co. Condemned WSJ For Saying Dearborn Was The Jihad Capital Of The US?

Yeah, about that.

Daily Mail:  Muslim protestors chant 'death to America, death to Israel' at rally in Michigan's Dearborn after city was branded 'Jihad capital' of the U.S by WSJ

Today:

Chants of 'death to America!' and 'death to Israel!' rang out during a protest in a Michigan city that was recently dubbed the 'jihad capital' of the United States by a Wall Street Journal columnist. 

Yep, Muslims chanting Death to America on the streets of an American city.

Go to the article for video of it occurring, including Hezbollah supporter Tarek Bazzi leading the chants.

Methinks Gov Whitmer and Biden owe the WSJ an apology. 

Don't count on that apology happening any time soon, but expect more appeasement by Biden and co as they fish for Islamist Democrat votes in Michigan.

Your Lack Of Commitment Is Not That Disturbing

The pro-Hamas campaign to vote uncommited in the Michigan primary yesterday to try and push the Biden Administration to become even more pro-Hamas didn't amount to all that much, per the New York Times:

About 13 percent of Democratic voters cast ballots for “uncommitted” after activists suggested doing so to protest Biden’s policies. (By comparison, about 11 percent voted “uncommitted” when Barack Obama ran for re-election.)

A 2% increase compared to the amount that were uncommitted for Obama  a President that was very popular among Democrats really doesn't amount to all that much.  For all the sound and furry, that's a fizzle in terms of the Islamist vote flexing in Michigan.

Indeed, it does reveal that Tlaib & co, for all their caterwauling, yelling, and threats, the pro-Islamist vote isn't all that big of a factor, even in Michigan. 

At least not yet.

Arab Medical Staff In Royal Oak Beaumont Protest And Lie For Gaza

Well the Arab medical staff of Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak came out to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and the destruction of Israel at the same time.

We will note they couldn't be bothered to condemn the Hamas terrorist attack that kicked it off, nor any mention of that in the protest, nor on their Facebook Page, or their organization website.

Funny, that.

Note that a lot of them were still wearing their Beaumont uniforms in the video.

Sure, they've got the right to protest and show the scum that they are, but I would have hoped their employer would not approve of such conduct on company time, company grounds, and in company uniforms. 

Certainly makes me think twice about going to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak for any medical treatment.

 In the linked instagram video they were, after their bromide "the people united will never be defeated" - in which case why demand a ceasefire if you will never be defeated?   They then started going "long live the intifada" - that chant is not exactly calling for a ceasefire. In fact it's the opposite.

Supporting the intifada, which is a call for terrorist attacks against Israel, would to most rational people imply you really don't get to ask for a ceasefire at the same time that you're calling for armed violence, neh?  

Is that a Hippocratic or is that a hypocritic oath in their case?

They're also waiving signs that are lying about "genocide" in Gaza.

Given the Arab population of Gaza has increased from in 2012 1,644,293 million to 2,106,745 today and its expected to double to over 4 million by 2050, this has to be the most inept "genocide" ever.

In short they lie, a lot, no surprise there.

Hamas Has Lots of Friends In Dearborn, Michigan

In a charming demonstration in Dearborn, to no one's surprise, they support Hamas.

The Detroit News: Dearborn rally calls for end to Palestinian occupation as war rages

 Much of the article gives the standard Arabist propaganda line including that the massacres committed by Hamas are all just ducky under the rubric of "resisting occupation"..

We then get Amer Zahr, a close confident of Rashida Talib with a laughable attempt to generate sympathy for the Islamists around Dearborn:

Zahr rejected the notion that domestic incidents would occur.

"It's insulting that local Jewish organizations and synagogues are saying they're heightening their security because they think Muslim Americans could attack. There have been no threats or attacks on these groups in wake of this," Zahr said. "Do we tell people we're afraid of the Jewish people when there have been daily attacks on Palestinian people for decades? This is absolutely crazy, and a real stab at the Arab American community here in Detroit."

This claim of abject innocence is brought to you by the very same  "comedian" Amer Zahr who wiped Israel off the map in the Congressional office of Rashida Tlaib the day that bint was sworn into office in Congress. 

Oh, and Amer, name a single example of even one of these daily attacks in the US by Jews you claim have been going in for decades will you? We'll wait.

So why would Jews in Michigan be concerned about potential violence from Muslims in the area?

Oh, well, maybe because of this.

Or because of this.

Or perhaps because of this.

Or you know, THIS.

When Inmates Take Over The Asylum And Then Try To Sue

Apparently, it is now considered by some to be a lack of deescalation problem when a police officer fails to do something other than shooting someone in the act of trying to shoot the officer.

As I had written about the Dearborn Suicide-by-Cop incident, "There have been no protests yet that the Police should have used a social worker in this instance, but as in a recent incident in Detroit that may yet happen."

Sure enough, and it didn't take long, the family in this incident is now protesting and claiming that police should have "deescalated the situation" and hired a lawyer to try and get a payday out of their family member's criminal acts:

The Detroit Free Press: Dearborn police station shooting: New details about man killed by officer, how it happened

Attorney Amir Makled, retained by Naji's family, has acknowledged the threat Naji posed when he pointed the gun at the officer. But Makled argues the killing could have been avoided with proper implementation of police deescalation protocols.

"Officers are trained to and should be skilled at recognizing mental health crises. The deceased was not in a state to know right from wrong," Makled said.

 "At what point did police know that there was someone in the lobby with a firearm? Did they give (Naji) the opportunity and time to comply with the demands of law enforcement? At what point were law enforcement in immediate threat if there's bullet-proof glass? This is what we're trying to find out."

Let's remember for a moment that Naji was shot while he was pointing a gun at an officer and had pulled the trigger. 

Police Officers, if made to adopt this ridiculous standard suggested by his attorney, would be in an impossible situation.

If someone is pointing a gun at you and pulling the trigger, you're somehow supposed to in a nanosecond evaluate if they're having a mental health crisis - as if this implies someone with a mental health crisis is somehow less of a threat when committing a deadly act - and then apparently try to talk them down while they're trying to kill you?

Sounds like an eminently sensible standard right there, then aagin there has yet been any proof provided that Naji even was diagnosed with a mental illness at the time he committed his act of attempted murder.

What next?  Perhaps demanding that Police Officers must be shot first before they can shoot back?

I daresay the attorneys for Naji have jumped the shark in their misbegotten quest to get the family a payday.

Dearborn Suicide By Cop Incident

This incident that occurred on Sunday had a bit of twist on the more typical suicide by cop incidents.  

While all such incidents are terrible as they require the Police to take a life in order to protect themselves, the idiot at least made it somewhat more convenient for the police, as he came to them rather than having them called out to go to him.

Detroit Free Press: Police say Dearborn man pointed gun at officer, pulled trigger, but it failed to fire

A Dearborn man who was shot to death in the lobby of the city's police department Sunday suffered from mental illness and tried to shoot directly at an officer — but the gun failed to fire, police said.

He pointed a stolen 9mm pistol at a police officer and pulled the trigger, but the gun malfunctioned, Lt. Mike Shaw, a Michigan State Police spokesperson, told the Free Press on Monday.

The Dearborn man was then shot by the officer multiple times.

“He was trying to kill a police officer, or whoever was in that lobby at that time," Shaw said.

The man's family identified him as Ali Naji, 33.

So, he apparently stole a handgun earlier that day, and likely didn't know how to use it, which turned out to be a very good thing in this instance.  The police officer then demonstrated the appropriate technique and properly ended the threat.

There have been no protests yet that the Police should have used a social worker in this instance, but as in a recent incident in Detroit that may yet happen.

Hassan Yehia Chokr Gets Federal Charges

On top of the Ethnic Intimidation charge at the State level, and his outstanding felony case in Wayne County, he's managed to get attention from the federal level.

In addition to state charges, Islamic-Warrior-Wanna-Be Hassan Yehia Chokr just picked up a federal felony charge for lying on a Form 4473:

The Detroit News: Dearborn man accused of antisemitic threats now faces federal charge

Hassan Yehia Chokr, 35, was charged with lying on a federal firearms form when he tried to buy a shotgun, rifle, and a semi-automatic pistol at Dearborn Outdoors on Dec. 2, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Detroit. The charge is punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison.

Likely, I expect the charge is because he failed to answer yes to his being already under indictment for a felony charge in Wayne County, in which case he has added to his list of already exemplary respect for the judicial system by mooning the judge at his Wayne County hearing. 

Clearly, Chokr has failed to read how to Win Friends and Influence People.  As a result, he's now bail revoked in that case, so even if he gets out of Oakland County Jail on bind, he'll end up being transported to the Wayne County Jail.

Nice to see they're actually prosecuting a criminal for lying on a 4473 Form. Would that this was a regular occurrence.

It sure looks like this guy was about to go past death threats to a full-on attack, so he got stopped just in time.

More On The Moron Hassan Yehia Chokr

Well, anti-semite Hassan Yehia Chokr flunked the First Rule of Arraignments.

The First Rule of Arraignments:  Don't threaten the judge, nor call her names.

By doing so he failed to both win friends and influence people in a positive way.

Detroit Free Press: Police: Dearborn suspect told people at Michigan synagogue they were 'going to die'

A Dearborn man charged in an antisemitic attack at a historic synagogue in Bloomfield Township remained in custody Monday afternoon after a magistrate set a bond of $1 million at an arraignment where the suspect shouted derogatory and anti-Jewish remarks at the magistrate.

It turns out Chokr on top of his latest threats, has an open and ongoing felony case for assault with a dangerous weapon and assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer dating to 2019 that is finally heading towards a pretrial finally this month in Wayne County.

He also has one heckuva long record with the Dearborn District Court - Over 30 cases including both civil infractions and misdemeanors dating back years.

So, he ended up with a million dollar cash surety bond, so he'll likely get to spend some more time in jail accordingly.
