Tensions are rising in Dearborn, Michigan, as anti Islam demonstrators and counter protesters gather amid an increasingly heated national debate over religion, free speech and Islam in America.
Video circulating from the demonstration shows heated exchanges between opposing groups as the protest draws attention online.
Dearborn, home to one of the largest Muslim and Arab American communities in the country, has repeatedly found itself at the center of demonstrations involving Islam and religious expression.
The latest protest comes as anti Muslim rhetoric has received renewed national attention following Michigan Democrat Abdul El Sayed becoming the first Muslim nominated by a major political party for a U.S. Senate seat in the state.
Today’s demonstration is developing, and additional details could emerge as the evening continues.
The Rabbit Hole will provide updates as more information becomes available.
