Protests, anti-American rhetoric, and support for Gaza’s “liberation” dominated speeches at the People’s Conference, attended by political figures like Tlaib and Stein.

Shaheen was released on February 1 along with hundreds of other terrorists as part of a ransom paid exchange for live and deceased hostages captured by Gazan forces during the October 7 Massacre.

Rabbi Asher Lopatin, community relations director at the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor, called Al “BJ” Williams’s remarks “blatantly antisemitic.”

The Federation added that it was a stark reminder of "the rising tide of hate affecting Jewish people."

The cartoon, published on Thursday, showed a woman sitting next to an exploding pager. The woman's desk in the cartoon had a name card saying "Rep. Tlaib."

Judge Margaret Van Houten ruled Friday that retrying Jackson-Bolanos on the felony murder charge would constitute double jeopardy, violating his Fifth Amendment rights.
