Dearborn’s city council meeting on Tuesday, November 18 had barely warmed up its microphones before things took a hard left turn – straight into Antifa theater.
A masked member of “By Any Means Necessary (BAMN)” spoke to the council in solidarity with Dearborn (she is from Detroit). The longer name for her far-left Antifa-type group is: the “Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary.”
Yes, their statement [1] on their own website is: “BAMN is committed to defeating Donald Trump and his fascist movement by any means necessary.”
The BAMN woman at the meeting delivered a rambling monologue about “fascists,” “one people and one nation,” and the “model” Dearborn should set for dealing with political opponents, giving praise to activists who chased off opponents earlier that day.
She identified herself as what sounded like “Leana” before launching into a sermon about turning out en masse to push back “the likes of Hudson and Lang,” declaring that Dearborn “provided the welcome such people deserve.”
And the “welcome” Leana was talking about included violence against the Christian demonstrators who marched [2] through Dearborn earlier that afternoon. The march was organized by GOP gubernatorial candidate Anthony Hudson and January 6 activist Jake Lang.
Lang’s website about the march called for Christians to attend a peaceful march of dedicated patriots leading the charge for constitutional rights and American values – but their “welcome” by Leana and her friends was anything but peaceful.
Journalist Cam Higby was at the march. He spoke at the city council meeting to tell them that he was pepper sprayed by the pro-Muslim crowd of protesters. His phone was stolen, his money was stolen, his microphone was stolen – and he said the Dearborn city police did nothing, telling him he would have to go to the “station” to report it.

Yesterday Muslim protestors threatened to kill me EVERY TIME I walked by INSIDE OF DEARBORN CITY HALL.
I’d go to the bathroom and as I walked past they’d say “I’m going to Charlie Kirk you boy”
I told the police. They did nothing.

Dearborn, Mich. (Nov. 18) — Violent Muslim protesters attack provocateur Jake Lang as he hits a Quran with bacon. Many Muslims believe it is a capital offence to mock their religion. There have been countless deadly attacks around the world for this reason.pic.twitter.com/UBe9Nc3bFF [8]

In the end, Dearborn’s council chamber became a snapshot of the day itself – loud, chaotic, and a long way from peaceful debate. What was supposed to be routine public comment instead showcased the intimidation and disorder unfolding in the streets, raising real questions about whether city leaders are prepared for what might come next.
