Rashida Tlaib: “I am not going to get here and allow the committee to be used by anybody, even from the other side, to say that…”

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.

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.

This data sharing should terrify all of us. It does nothing to make us safer, but rather endangers the basic rights of all Americans and worsens our mass surveillance crisis.
