A dozen people have been indicted in Michigan for a scheme to terrorize the state's Jewish community. And one of them used to work for Abdul El-Sayed's campaign. According to the indictments, Mariam Odeh, 24, allegedly threatened University of Michigan officials to force the school to cut ties with Israel. Odeh and the others allegedly carried out harassment and intimidation of school officials including vandalizing board members' homes, planting fake corpses on lawns, and vandalizing the home of the school's then-president.

The hateful crew also broke windows and threw jars with noxious chemicals into family homes, posting the alleged attacks on social media and warning “you cannot hide,” feds said.
Odeh was among the crew of conspirators who vandalized a Rolls Royce Solutions America, Inc. building in Detroit in 2024, prosecutors alleged.
The group, including Odeh, padlocked the building’s doors and spray-painted “FREE PALESTINE” and “LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA” on the sidewalk in front of the building, prosecutors said.
Odeh was charged with a count of conspiracy to transmit threats in interstate and foreign commerce and could face up to five years in prison, The Detroit News reported.
The New York Post reports that Odeh worked for the El-Sayed campaign and was paid twice for two weeks' worth of work.
Remember who supports @AbdulElSayed most of the DSA @TheDemocrats

This is part of why Haley Stevens dropped her endorsement of El-Sayed and endorsed Republican Mike Rogers.
Haley Stevens made the right choice and everyone attacking her for it made the wrong choice.

Stevens and the rest will, to steal a phrase from Democrats, be on the right side of history here.

The Bulwark is hardest hit.
12 indicted in Michigan for a campaign of terror against Jews. Jars of chemicals thrown into family homes. Houses marked with the red triangles Hamas uses to mark targets for death. One defendant, Mariam Odeh, worked for @AbdulElSayed 's Senate campaign.

They are deeply offended by this.
WaPo has a big story about some Mike Collins staffer's Twitter account. I wonder where their story about this is. https://t.co/cu1tpa4UZB

You will not be surprised to learn that the Washington Post has not covered this story. This writer searched the WaPo website and there were zero results for Mariam Odeh as of Monday morning.
That doesn't surprise us, either.
