DEARBORN, Mich. — Abbas Alawieh had planned to step away from politics this fall. He’s a Democratic strategist who’s worked with several progressive members of Congress.
Then the Hamas attack on Israel happened that killed 1,200 people and took some 240 hostage, per the Israeli government. Israel’s military response in Gaza has since killed nearly 30,000 people, mostly women and children, according to the ministry of health in Gaza.
It may feel far away for some Americans, but Alawieh’s city, Dearborn, has felt every death in Gaza deeply. It’s home to one of the largest Arab American communities in the country.
Alawieh started getting calls from cousins, friends and acquaintances in Michigan who’d barely expressed an interest in politics.
“Those same people are reaching out to me right now saying, ‘This is Biden’s fault, what are we going to do to make sure Biden stops this?’” he said.
Just like that, Alawieh was pulled back into politics with an urgency he said he’s never felt before.
“Okay, so you have a community that is alienated, that Biden is alienating beyond what we can even capture in numbers,” he said.
So he and other progressive organizers in the Detroit metro area are trying to create those numbers. He’s a spokesperson for the Listen to Michigan movement, the self-described “multiracial and multifaith, anti-war campaign” that’s encouraging Democrats and Independents to show up to the polls for Tuesday’s primary.
But they’re not getting out the vote for Biden, who Alawieh himself supported in 2020. They’re urging voters to check the “uncommitted” box instead, as a way of protesting the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

“What we’re saying is, first and foremost, we need a ceasefire, not some temporary thing,” said Alawieh.
“We’re also saying, President Biden, you are losing people and have lost many people here in Michigan, key voters, where you need every vote you can get,” he added. “And unless you take a different approach, you will be handing the presidency back to Donald Trump and his white supremacist buddies.”
Michigan is a key swing state. Biden won it by more than 150,000 votes in 2020, while Trump took it in 2016 by a margin of just over 10,000 — which is the minimum number of “uncommitted” votes the Listen to Michigan campaign hopes to get.
The primary on Tuesday is also being watched as an early litmus test for how much Biden’s stance on Gaza could hurt his reelection bid — even though a lot could change before the general election in November.
“I think the more votes we have, the stronger our hand will be to play the next move that saves lives,” Alawieh said.
The heart of the uncommitted campaign is in Michigan’s Arab and Muslim communities. But it’s also resonating with young voters and people of color from a variety of religions and backgrounds. Proponents of the campaign want a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel and a clear path to Palestinian statehood.

In recent weeks, Biden has grown more publicly critical of Israel’s conduct, and is working on a hostage exchange deal that could bring six weeks of respite. Last week, for the third time, the U.S. vetoed a United Nations resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
Israel has argued that a ceasefire would give Hamas an opportunity to regroup and regain strength, and the Biden administration has been balancing its support for a close ally with pushing for a pause and longer-term solution to the conflict.
Administration officials acknowledged “missteps” when they met with Muslim and Arab American community leaders in Dearborn earlier this month, said Alawieh, who attended the meeting.
“The feeling of betrayal here in Michigan runs so deep that it will not be wiped away by a TV ad or two or ten or a hundred,” he said.
Many residents are personally affected by the Israel-Hamas war, either because they have lost loved ones or have dealt with similar conflicts in their own family history — including Alawieh, who was a child during the 2006 Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah.
“I could have been killed by one of those U.S.-funded Israeli bombs … I could have been one of those kids whose stories we don’t know,” he said. “That child inside of me, a child that too many people here in southeastern Michigan know all too well … is saying the most urgent thing you can do right now is to advise President Biden to call for a cease-fire.”
The administration told NPR that Biden is “working hard to earn every vote in Michigan” and to “create a just, lasting peace in the Middle East.” But many anti-war Democrats who spoke to NPR say they feel taken for granted by the party — and, by voting “uncommitted,” hope to increase pressure on Biden to listen to them and change course.
The campaign aims to send Biden a message
Supporters of the uncommitted effort agree it won’t change Biden’s expected primary victory on Tuesday — his Democratic opponent Dean Phillips trails far behind. But they hope to prove that he needs their support to beat Trump, the leading GOP frontrunner, come the general election in November.
Among those supporters is former U.S. Rep. Andy Levin, a Democrat who represented parts of metro Detroit in Congress from 2019 to 2023. He’s also a self-described Biden ally who worries the president doesn’t understand how deep the anger is in the Arab American community and beyond in the key swing state of Michigan.

“The biggest danger for the president in his reelection is not getting that message,” said Levin, who will be voting uncommitted in the primary.
The threat to Biden’s reelection, as Levin sees it, isn’t that anti-war Democrats will vote for Trump. It’s that they won’t vote at all. He says the 150,000 votes that Biden won by in 2020 is actually a relatively slim margin in a state with some 10 million residents.
“I don’t see how you win the presidency without winning Michigan,” Levin said. “And so then, here’s the kicker: I don’t think he can win Michigan unless he changes course.”
This issue is also personal for Levin. His synagogue, housed in a church, displays a large banner in Hebrew and English, reading: “Jews & Christians praying for ceasefire now.”
“I know Joe Biden understands this conflict and I know he cares a lot about it,” Levin said. “My desire to see him lead on this and change course is both because it’s what must happen to achieve a secure homeland for my people and the Palestinian people and for his own politics so he can be re-elected and we don’t descend into fascism in America.”

More than 40 Democratic elected officials in Michigan have pledged to vote uncommitted. Among them is Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, the first Arab mayor of this majority-Arab city.
He says his city — home to residents who have family living through strikes in Gaza, the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq — is not sleeping, and he wants the president to know that.
“For us here in Dearborn, we don’t wonder what it’s like,” he said. “Not only did we live under those similar conditions — whether it was occupation, apartheid, war, besiegement — but also the people who are dying, these are our family members and our friends, people who we know directly.”
He knows that his city, along with the wider community of Arab Americans and American Muslims in Michigan, aren’t seen as kingmakers in the electorate.
“We’re not sizable enough to make a candidate win,” he said. “But we’re sizable enough to make a candidate lose.”
He says if Biden calls for a full ceasefire tomorrow it doesn’t automatically repair the damage, but earns the president “another conversation at the table.”
Every minute counts, Hammoud said, and it’s not too late for Biden to take action to prevent additional civilian deaths in Gaza. Israel’s military kills an average of 250 Palestinians a day, a higher rate than any other major 21st century conflict, according to Oxfam.
“There’s always time to do the right thing. But this has to happen outside of the context of, does that mean it moves the needle for what you’re going to support in November?” he said. “Because I refuse to believe that Palestinian lives only are important in the context of polls and outcomes of elections.”

As he spoke, he walked through a shopping district in west Dearborn, where restaurants serve up everything from Detroit-style pizza to shawarma and Yemeni coffee. He brought a team of reporters to this district to show off the small businesses that reflect his city, but he also wondered if the nation or the administration would care about its pain if an election weren’t at stake.
“It feels like this is a new caliber of dehumanization,” he said. “I think many of us who have children often wonder what world our children are going to grow up in?”
People are in pain and want to be heard
In a few weeks Ramadan begins, the Muslim holy month when those who observe fast from dawn to dusk. In recent years, Dearborn has drawn hundreds of thousands of people to the nighttime festivals.
This year, all of that is canceled because of the war.
“People are not in the mood to be at these celebratory events,” said Hammoud.
While the pain in Dearborn is predominantly about what residents are seeing in Gaza, it also comes from the increased hate at home.

Since a Wall Street Journal opinion piece maligned this entire city as “America’s jihad capital” earlier this month, threats have poured in, including to the mayor himself, who is Lebanese American and Muslim.
Hammoud didn’t expect to find himself in the middle of this fierce geopolitical battle when he was elected in 2022.
“I mean, I ran on the prospect of making sure your garbage is picked up on time. I never imagined myself in a room with senior officials leading conversations on foreign policy,” he said. “But when that foreign policy directly impacts your constituents, I think it’s irresponsible if you walk away right now.”
After Tuesday, what changes?
The message of uncommitted is resonating in Dearborn.
Outside a popular brunch spot, two sisters, Anem Khan and Huma Shahzad, who always vote Democrat, say on Tuesday they’ll check uncommitted because of the daily horrors they’re seeing in Gaza.
“Everything I feel … my mood, my day, everything is based off of what’s going on in Palestine,” Khan said. “It’s not about religion. It’s about kids and adults and parents and families being eliminated.”
What upsets them the most is that their tax dollars are paying for many of the bombs being used in Gaza. They say Biden needs to publicly call for it to stop.

“Killing innocent people is not the answer to anything, ever,” Khan said. “Unless he calls for a ceasefire, I don’t think that anyone would vote for him.”
But even that might not get their vote.
“I’d need to see action,” said Shahzad.
In Dearborn that sentiment seems to cross religious and racial lines, but it’s unclear if it’s gaining traction beyond the metro Detroit area.
Biden’s administration is hoping it will win back a sizable share of younger voters ahead of the general election, thanks to his position on issues like climate change and abortion — and the fact that he’s not Trump.
Supporters of the uncommitted campaign in Dearborn bristle at the suggestion that their refusal to vote for Biden is a vote for Trump, or that things could be “worse” under a president who has tried to enforce a travel ban on several Muslim majority countries — known as a Muslim ban — and threatened to bring it back if reelected.
For Shahzad, who is 27, she says her student loans that Biden promises to forgive and her personal safety under a possible Trump presidency are less important than changing the daily reality for Palestinians in Gaza.
“We do have more of a protective layer around us here in America because we are sheltered,” she said. “Where in Palestine they have nothing. They just have the clothes on their backs.”
Dearborn mayor Hammoud asks, what is he supposed to say to his constituent who lost 80 loved ones in Gaza?
“I think people fail to explain that, they can’t contextualize that for us,” Hammoud said, adding, “I don’t think there is a worse.”

Minnesota Governor Condemns ICE Shooting
Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota slammed the fatal shooting of a woman by an immigration agent. President Trump said that the agents had acted in self-defense.
-
This morning, we learned that an ICE officer shot and killed someone in Minneapolis. We have been warning for weeks that the Trump administration’s dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to our public safety, that someone was going to get hurt. Just yesterday, I said exactly that. What we’re seeing is the consequences of governance designed to generate fear, headlines and conflict. It’s governing by reality TV. And today, that recklessness cost someone their life.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the U.N.’s population agency and the U.N. treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, as the U.S. further retreats from global cooperation.
President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending U.S. support for 66 organizations, agencies, and commissions, following his administration’s review of participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the United Nations, according to a White House release.
Most of the targets are U.N.-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labor, migration and other issues the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and “woke” initiatives. Other non-U.N. organizations on the list include the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance and Global Counterterrorism Forum.
“The Trump Administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own, or a threat to our nation’s sovereignty, freedoms, and general prosperity,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.
Trump’s decision to withdraw from organizations that foster cooperation among nations to address global challenges comes as his administration has launched military efforts or issued threats that have rattled allies and adversaries alike, including capturing autocratic Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and indicating an intention to take over Greenland.
U.S. builds on pattern of exiting global agencies
The administration previously suspended support from agencies like the World Health Organization, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees known as UNRWA, the U.N. Human Rights Council and the U.N. cultural agency UNESCO. It has taken a larger, a-la-carte approach to paying its dues to the world body, picking which operations and agencies it believes align with Trump’s agenda and those that no longer serve U.S. interests.
“I think what we’re seeing is the crystallization of the U.S. approach to multilateralism, which is ‘my way or the highway,’” said Daniel Forti, head of U.N. affairs at the International Crisis Group. “It’s a very clear vision of wanting international cooperation on Washington’s own terms.”
It has marked a major shift from how previous administrations — both Republican and Democratic — have dealt with the U.N., and it has forced the world body, already undergoing its own internal reckoning, to respond with a series of staffing and program cuts.
Many independent nongovernmental agencies — some that work with the United Nations — have cited many project closures because of the U.S. administration’s decision last year to slash foreign assistance through the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.
Despite the massive shift, the U.S. officials, including Trump himself, say they have seen the potential of the U.N. and want to instead focus taxpayer money on expanding American influence in many of the standard-setting U.N. initiatives where there is competition with China, like the International Telecommunications Union, the International Maritime Organization and the International Labor Organization.
The latest global organizations the U.S. is departing
The withdrawal from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC, is the latest effort by Trump and his allies to distance the U.S. from international organizations focused on climate and addressing climate change.
UNFCC, the 1992 agreement between 198 countries to financially support climate change activities in developing countries, is the underlying treaty for the landmark Paris climate agreement. Trump — who calls climate change a hoax — withdrew from that agreement soon after reclaiming the White House.
Gina McCarthy, former White House National Climate Adviser, said being the only country in the world not part of the treaty is “shortsighted, embarrassing, and a foolish decision.”
“This Administration is forfeiting our country’s ability to influence trillions of dollars in investments, policies, and decisions that would have advanced our economy and protected us from costly disasters wreaking havoc on our country,” McCarthy, who co-chairs America Is All In, a coalition of climate-concerned U.S. states and cities, said in a statement.
Mainstream scientists say climate change is behind increasing instances of deadly and costly extreme weather, including flooding, droughts, wildfires, intense rainfall events and dangerous heat.
The U.S. withdrawal could hinder global efforts to curb greenhouse gases because it “gives other nations the excuse to delay their own actions and commitments,” said Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson, who chairs the Global Carbon Project, a group of scientists that tracks countries’ carbon dioxide emissions.
It will also be difficult to achieve meaningful progress on climate change without cooperation from the U.S., one of the world’s largest emitters and economies, experts said.
The U.N. Population Fund, the agency providing sexual and reproductive health worldwide, has long been a lightning rod for Republican opposition, and Trump cut funding for it during his first term. He and other GOP officials have accused the agency of participating in “coercive abortion practices” in countries like China.
When President Biden took office in January 2021, he restored funding for the agency. A State Department review conducted the following year found no evidence to support GOP claims.
Other organizations and agencies that the U.S. will quit include the Carbon Free Energy Compact, the United Nations University, the International Cotton Advisory Committee, the International Tropical Timber Organization, the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, the Pan-American Institute for Geography and History, the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies and the International Lead and Zinc Study Group.

- 🎧 Trump and his aides are unclear about the future of Venezuela, NPR’s Franco Ordoñez tells Up First. When the president says the U.S. will run the country, many eyes are on Stephen Miller, Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy. Miller, known for his stringent immigration policies, is one of the U.S. officials overseeing Venezuela. Ordoñez also says Miller has more recently described ruling over the hemisphere by force.
- ➡️ Last night, Trump posted on social media that Venezuela will turn over between 30 million and 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil to the U.S. While seizing current oil production is one thing, overhauling Venezuela’s oil industry requires a far greater effort. Here’s why.
While meeting with House Republicans yesterday, Trump attempted to offer his party a roadmap to victory in this year’s midterm elections. The president acknowledged the possibility of his party losing the majority in the House this year. Trump said in his speech that the president’s party often loses the midterms.
- 🎧 NPR’s Domenico Montanaro says that while it’s true the midterms are hard on the president’s party, it is even worse when a president’s approval rating is below 50%. Trump is facing his lowest second-term approval ratings, largely due to the rising cost of living. During yesterday’s speech, the president didn’t offer much on the topic. When he did discuss the economy, it was about how the stock market is at historic highs. He also touted his tariffs, which have actively raised prices on many things. People have informed pollsters for months that they believe the president’s policies have harmed the economy. Montanaro says one area where Trump and Republicans could take action is legislation on health care.
The Pentagon is preparing a six-month review to evaluate what it calls the military “effectiveness” of women serving in ground combat roles. Undersecretary Anthony Tata requested that the Army and Marine Corps submit data on the readiness, training, performance, casualties and command climate of ground combat units and personnel by Jan. 15. The effort aims to determine how gender integration has influenced operational success over the last decade.
Special series
Trump has tried to bury the truth of what happened on Jan. 6, 2021. NPR built a visual archive of the attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. “Chapter 3: Assault on the Capitol,” lays out the timeline of key moments throughout the day as the riot unfolded.
On the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, Trump held a “Save America” rally at the Ellipse, a site near the White House and U.S. Capitol. Multiple speakers promoted voter fraud myths and urged Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the election. Meanwhile, a group of 200 Proud Boys marched toward the Capitol. Before Trump’s speech ended, violence erupted on Capitol grounds. The Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol “was the most videotaped crime in American history, if not world history,” according to Greg Rosen, a former federal prosecutor who led the Justice Department unit that investigated the riot. But conspiracy theories still falsely label the assault a “normal tourist visit.” NPR’s review of thousands of court videos shows rioters assaulting officers with weapons, calling for executions and looting the building. These videos show the exact timing of events as they occurred. Corresponding maps show the locations where the conflict took place.
