On October 25, 2026, supporters of Republican US Senate candidate Mike Rogers marched through downtown Detroit, chanting "Death to Islam" ahead of a large Democratic campaign rally. The protest was reportedly led by anti-Islam activist Jake Lang, who has organized previous protests against Muslim communities, including in Dearborn. The incident comes as former President Barack Obama, Muslim Senate candidate Abdul al-Sayed and gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson were scheduled to appear at a major Democratic rally, reexamining anti-Muslim rhetoric within Michigan who have been closely watching the Senate race.
