Mayor Baidoun told the Dearborn Heights City Council on Nov. 25 that he and other city officials have received repeated threats and that the city will work with local and federal partners to investigate and prosecute those responsible. "The threats that are coming in won't be tolerated, and they will be prosecuted," he said.

The remarks came during a longer round of council comments that opened with the mayor recognizing a long‑time employee and highlighting community events. Baidoun said the calls and messages included attempts to identify his home address and that the city has already worked with police detectives to apprehend at least one suspect in a related threat to a local mosque. He asked residents to report similar messages and said the city will seek FBI assistance as needed.

Council members from across the chamber expressed solidarity with residents of neighboring Dearborn, where recent demonstrations drew attention and tensions. Councilman Constance said the council stands "as one community regardless of our background or faith." Councilman Wenzel and others called for no public amplification of outsiders who seek to divide neighborhoods, urging that the city withhold attention from demonstrators.

The mayor also described steps the city has taken to protect officials and the public, including documentation of calls and coordination with law enforcement. He encouraged residents to remain engaged in civic life while reporting threatening behavior to authorities.
