Anti-Islam agitators clashed Tuesday with pro-Muslim supporters outside a city council meeting in Dearborn, Michigan. Far-right, anti-Islam activist Jake Lang was expected to make comments at the meeting Tuesday night at the Henry Ford Centennial Library.

After an hour of protests, Lang arrived at the scene where a riled-up crowd ran to the library where the meeting was being held. The crowd slammed into the building, with demonstrators shoving officers and throwing down barricades.

FOX 2 Detroit was on the scene where the SWAT team ran out of the building and diverted the crowd.

For days, Dearborn police told people who do not have official business before City Council not to show up to demonstrate for or against Lang.

Edward Jacob Lang is a far-right anti-Muslim activist who served 4 years in prison for his participation in the US Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021. He was one of hundreds who was pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2025.

The “Christian Crusader March" organized by Lang and Detroit pastor Lorenzo Sewell is accompanied by the slogan, “Stop Islamification of America.”
