He could state that it was Islam that moved him to protect human life and it would still not make any difference to the dominant political discourse
I'm betting that somehow Ahmed Al Ahmed's ethnicity will not become the basis for loads of sweeping conclusions about multiculturalism.

This is outside Minneapolis. Like Chicago, a big part of their strategy is just driving around looking for laborers to abduct. They failed this time.
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered.
