Michigan’s attorney general, Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, posts a photo of an antisemitic protest targeting her yesterday.

Nessel hosted a town hall meeting in Howell, outside Detroit, to discuss concerns about constructing data centers in the state.

Protesters outside the event held up a banner that said, “A Jewish data center has no home here,” alongside two swastikas, according to an image Nessel posts on social media.

“If you think antisemitism isn’t a problem in Michigan, think again,” Nessel writes.
