Muslim Migration Could Decide 2 Key Senate Races

Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, was once known as the birthplace of Henry Ford and home of Ford Motor Co.’s headquarters.

Today it proudly boasts the title “Arab Capital of America,” with the highest concentration of Arab Americans in the United States. In 2023, it officially became the country’s first majority-Arab city, with about 55% of the population identifying as having Middle Eastern or North African ancestry.

That also makes Dearborn home to a large Muslim population, similar to neighboring Hamtramck. There are 11 mosques within the city limits of Dearborn and more than 100 in the greater Detroit area.

We also discussed the issues shaping Wisconsin’s gubernatorial election, Maine’s closely watched U.S. Senate race, and why it’s important for conservatives to vote early.

Cortes said his documentary examines what he describes as dramatic demographic and cultural changes in communities such as Dearborn, Hamtramck, and Warren.
