Remember how the current Minnesota ICE fiasco started with a "just asking questions" false acusation against use of public funds in minority immigrant neighborhoods? Dearborn is one the largest concentration of Arabs in the country.
Census: Arab Americans now a majority in Dearborn as Middle Eastern Michiganders top 300K
LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – State Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt of Van Buren County is asking the U.S. Attorney General to investigate two Dearborn-based nonprofits.
Nesbitt wants a review of ACCESS and the National Association of Yemeni Americans along with the grant oversight practices of several state agencies, saying he has concerns about “red flags” in their operations.
He says their use of taxpayer funds has raised questions.
ACCESS is the country’s largest Arab American community nonprofit and issued a response, saying they abide by the laws and “are a gold standard in accountability, with full compliance to our funding requirements.”
NAYA’s president called the letter from Nesbitt “uncalled for” and rebutted the claims made.
Nesbitt is running for governor.
