Rashida Tlaib: “We cannot ignore the pain our country has caused these children.”

To all our Dearborn families and residents: I have your back. I wish I could take away this pain, but know that you are not alone.

Our families do not deserve to be subjected to such hate and bigotry.

People of all faiths and of all backgrounds belong, and deserve to practice their religion and celebrate their cultures freely without fear.

Dearborn is a beautifully diverse place, home to a vibrant, loving Muslim community, and our families do not deserve to be subjected to such hate and bigotry.
