What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

A federal lawsuit was filed against the city of Dearborn and Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, alleging religious discrimination. The complaint, filed by journalist Margot Cleveland, claims the city spent thousands on Ramadan decorations while allegedly failing to recognize requests for public displays marking Christian and Jewish holidays. The lawsuit also cited the city's invitation of Macklemore for a free, city-sponsored concert as a recent example.
