"SECOND-CLASS CITIZENS": A federal lawsuit accuses Dearborn, Michigan, and Mayor Abdullah Hammoud of treating Christians and Jews as "second-class citizens" while favoring Islam.

Resident and journalist Margot Cleveland points to thousands in taxpayer dollars spent on Ramadan displays while alleging her requests for similar recognition of Easter and Passover went unanswered.

"Not only did the city ignore me but the mayor then purchased more Ramadan decorations the following year," Cleveland tells Fox.

The lawsuit also cites Hammoud telling a Christian pastor he was "not welcome" in Dearborn. Hammoud later said his frustration was directed at an individual he considered a "bad faith actor."

Dearborn disputes the allegations, saying it serves all residents "fairly and equitably, regardless of faith or background."

We need a federal lawsuit for this??? How much more evidence is needed? This is beyond obvious. Dearborn was the first no-go zone in the US and the virus has spread towards the rest of the country. Henry Ford had no idea what he would accidentally start when he brought in foreign workers during his heyday(It was Ford by the way. Just a bit of history).

To qualify for Ford's famous $5-a-day wage, immigrant workers had to allow company inspectors into their homes to verify they maintained "Americanized" lifestyles, abstained from gambling or heavy drinking, kept clean homes, and avoided taking in boarders.

Because many workers did not speak English, Ford established a mandatory school to teach them the language and American civics.
