Federal and local law enforcement officers smashed their way into the Michigan homes of pro-Palestine student organizers on Wednesday in what the state attorney general’s office said was a vandalism probe—but critics called an attack on dissent against Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza.
Backed by FBI agents, officers broke into homes in Ypsilanti, Canton, and Ann Arbor on Wednesday morning. Video uploaded to social media by Students Allied for Freedom and Equality, a Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, showed officers battering down the door to a Ypsilanti house before others rushed into the home barking commands with guns drawn and pointed at the residents.
“No search warrant was provided,” someone says in the video as the invaders crashed through the homes’ locked front door. People in the house said their phones and other electronic devices and possessions, including vehicles, were taken.

Because Republicans have no power in Michigan. Those cops worked directly for Democrats. They had absolute power to prevent this but instead, they explicitly signed their names to the order that sent these traitors out to harass innocent people
This is absolutely and exactly fuck Democrats.
How is this the Republicans?
Danny Wimmer, a spokesperson for Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, told the Detroit Free Press that the raids “were not related to protest activity on the campus of the University of Michigan,” but were “in furtherance of our investigation into multijurisdictional acts of vandalism.”
