Dearborn Homes Flying Palestinian Flag Receive Threatening Letter: PD

DEARBORN, MI — Police are looking for a suspect after two Dearborn homes received a threatening letter for flying a Palestinian flag.

One homeowner told WXYZ the letter says, "if you want to fly the *expletive* Palestinian flag, move back to Palestine. This is the United of America and only the flag of the USA should be flown. Take down that *expletive* flag or you will regret it."

Police believe the letters were sent by the same person because the contents were identical.

Police also said they increased the number of patrols at all schools and places of worship across the city over the last three weeks in an abundance of caution.

"While we continue to investigate both of these incidents, we remain in constant communication with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners," police said in the statement.

Anyone with information was asked to call the Dearborn Police Department's non-emergency line at 313-943-2241. You can also leave tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling their hotline at 1-800-SPEAKUP (1-800-773-2587) or filling out their form online.
