Michigan man doxxed after exposing his city’s booming Islamic surge takes defiant stand: ‘Not gonna stop’
A Michigan man who is facing backlash for speaking out against the growing Islamic population in his town refused to back down during an interview with Digital.
«This is my home, this is where I was born and raised, this city, this state,» said Justin Tye, 57, of Warren, Michigan.
Tye’s address was doxxed in the wake of a Digital story where he described how his town and neighborhood have been transformed by mostly Muslim immigrants over the past decade or so. He said he’s received some hate mail, including a package addressed to «Justin Tye, Bigot at Large.»
WORKING-CLASS AMERICANS SAY THEIR TOWN IS THE NEXT DEARBORN — AND THEY’VE HAD ENOUGH
One package contained stickers reading «F— Trump and f— you for voting for him,» along with a box of feminine hygiene products.
But Tye isn’t afraid of any backlash.
«Some things are worth the trouble, and this is worth the trouble that could come from it,» he said. «Being doxxed, I’m not afraid. I kind of figured this was gonna come with the territory.»
He also vowed to keep speaking out.

«I’m not gonna stop. I mean, you come here from another country and you disrespect the people who have lived in this neighborhood for decades, and in many cases like myself, there’s several people I went to school with that bought their parents’ homes and live back here,» he said, adding that he is speaking up for his neighbors too.
«And that’s what I’ve been hearing mainly is, ‘finally a voice,’» he said. «These people here, these Muslims … you need to respect the people, the Americans that are here. Stop disrespecting the people that lived here for decades.»
Tye said he’s received encouragement from residents around town.
«I’m getting a lot of support,» he said. Like I was out, I had to go do some shopping. I went to Meijer, I went to the bank, and then I stopped at a pizza place to get a pizza, and all three places I was stopped by people, asked if I was the Justin that was interviewed by Fox, and I said ‘yes.’ And the support I’m getting is incredible.»
Tye and several of his neighbors spoke to Digital several weeks ago in Warren.
PASTOR UNLEASHES ON DEARBORN AS RELIGIOUS TENSIONS ERUPT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING: ‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’
«It all started when they bought the mosque, roughly six years ago,» said Tye.
«After Ramadan, they would have their [Eid al-Fitr] prayer service. It was unannounced. We didn’t know anything,» he continued. «All of a sudden, we were just woken up to 100-plus people behind the mosque, with an imam on a podium with big amplifier speakers, belting out his prayer service. So it woke up the whole neighborhood.»
TRUMP INAUGURATION PASTOR SAYS DEARBORN CHRISTIANS ‘AFRAID’ TO SPEAK OUT IN MUSLIM-MAJORITY CITY
He described his neighborhood now as «chaos.»
He also took Digital on a guided tour of Warren, and pointed out five new mosques built or under construction within a seven-mile radius of his house.
SWING STATE MAYOR SUED AS CITY’S MUSLIM HOLIDAY DISPLAYS IGNITE RELIGIOUS-FAVORITISM FIGHT
An old industrial machinery business is now a mosque, as is a former Baptist church. Another towering mosque is under construction in the area.
«Seems like every restaurant that closes up — American restaurant — there’s a Muslim restaurant that opens up. I’ve seen four or five of them so far,» one of Tye’s neighbors told Digital.
«I’m normally laid back. Things don’t bother me,» said another. «But it’s like, this is my neighborhood and they’re just taking it over, and that’s what bothers me. And they don’t care.»
After the initial story was published, the city released a message on social media titled, «One Warren: Stronger Together, No Room for Hate.»
Friday afternoon, the city responded to Tye’s doxxing, and unequivocally denounced the practice.
«Every Warren resident deserves to feel safe in their own community. No one should have to fear being threatened, harassed, or intimidated, simply because they chose to speak up or raise a concern.»
«Targeting someone at their home crosses a line,» the statement said. «A person’s home should be a place of safety and privacy, never a place where they are made to feel unsafe because of their views. Regardless of where we stand on an issue, every resident deserves dignity and respect.»
The city noted that while not everyone will always see eye to eye, «disagreement should never become an excuse for personal attacks, intimidation, or retaliation.»
«There is room for everyone in Warren. There is room for disagreement, debate, protest, and advocacy. But there is no room for threats, harassment, intimidation, or hate. We should hold ourselves and one another to a standard that protects both the safety of our neighbors and the freedom to speak openly.»

Pope Leo calls out ‘false compassion’ of medically assisted suicide during French hospital visit
Pope Leo XIV arrives in France for historic Lourdes pilgrimage
Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel joins ‘America’s Newsroom’ to discuss Pope Leo XIV’s historic four-day visit to France, including his pilgrimage to the miracle shrine in Lourdes, and the spiritual significance of the pontiff’s visit.

Pope Leo XIV called for an end to medically assisted suicide during a visit to medical facilities in Lourdes, France, on Sunday.
The pope gave Mass in Lourdes before addressing a large crowd who cheered as he emphatically affirmed the dignity of all human lives and admonished listeners to reject the «false compassion» of assisted suicide.

«It is precisely in the name of this inalienable dignity of the human person that we must reject the temptation to cause death under the guise of false compassion,» the pope said, speaking in French.
«It is impossible to regard causing death as something normal. What is legal is not necessarily moral,» he continued. «Here in Lourdes, the city of the sick and of hope, I appeal to the entire healthcare community to remember the profound meaning of your vocation, which is to care for a suffering person, not to eliminate that person.»

«No one ever has the right based on laboratory algorithms to decide the life of a given embryo or elderly person. Medicine must never become the servant of programmed death,» he said.
Assisted suicide is legal in many Western countries, including France.

The practice has come under heavy criticism, particularly in Canada where it has seen widespread use.
Last week, the family of an 83-year-old Canadian woman demanded answers after she died through the country’s medical assistance in dying program despite allegedly becoming distraught when told the procedure would end her life.

The Daily Mail reported that 83-year-old Christian grandmother Brigitte Stegemann was killed under Canada’s physician-assisted suicide program, called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), on July 10.

Her granddaughter, Brigitte Kranendonk, said that she was her grandmother’s primary caregiver and that her family had decided to place Stegemann at The Pearl care home in Cannifton due to physical and mental decline.

But according to Kranendonk, her grandmother still had a good appetite even following a stomach cancer diagnosis, and rejected the idea of using MAID when it was presented as an option.
Kranendonk said she was present for Stegemann’s second MAID assessment, and said that the doctor used «really loose terms, never using the words death or dying.»

«She explains MAID to my grandmother by saying: ‘We’re going to give you medicine, you’re going to feel at peace. And I just want you to know that you won’t have a bowel movement,’» Kranendonk said.
When Kranendonk interjected and said, «She doesn’t understand what you’re saying,» the doctor allegedly looked at Stegemann and said, «We’re going to make sure you won’t have any more pain.»

According to a doctor, Stegemann was «deemed fit for MAID, and we’re going to proceed,» The Daily Mail reported.
Kranendonk said that two days before Stegemann’s death, she asked her grandmother directly whether she understood that the scheduled procedure meant she would die.

According to Kranendonk’s account to the outlet, Stegemann began crying and said she had «made a mistake.»
Stegemann was allegedly told by the doctor her grandmother could «deny» MAID on the day of the procedure, but Stegemann was already unsure if her grandmother had actually consented to it, did not want to cause her more stress, and wanted to enjoy what could be the last few days she had left with her grandmother.

Identifican a un cubano detenido tras la intercepción de una lancha con migrantes cerca de Key Largo, Florida
Las autoridades federales de Estados Unidos identificaron a Yunio Pelegrin Luis, ciudadano cubano detenido, como uno de los tres acusados tras la intercepción de una embarcación procedente de Bahamas cerca de North Key Largo, en los Cayos de Florida. El operativo ocurrió el 15 de septiembre y permitió localizar a 23 personas a bordo de una lancha que se dirigía hacia el sur del estado.
Según la denuncia penal citada por El Nuevo Herald y retomada por Periódico Cubano, Pelegrin Luis conducía la embarcación en el trayecto desde Bimini. Junto a él fueron detenidos los ecuatorianos William Ortiz Romero, de 32 años, y Flavio Lema Mayancela, quienes también enfrentan cargos federales por presuntamente transportar o inducir la entrada no autorizada de extranjeros a territorio estadounidense.
La acusación contempla una pena máxima de cinco años de prisión. La eventual responsabilidad penal de los tres hombres deberá ser definida durante el proceso judicial, ya que las autoridades deberán presentar pruebas ante un tribunal federal y los acusados conservan la presunción de inocencia hasta que exista una sentencia.
Un radar detectó la ruta desde Bahamas hacia los Cayos de Florida
La investigación señala que el recorrido de la lancha fue detectado por un sistema de radar de la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Palm Beach. A partir de esa alerta, una aeronave de la Oficina de Operaciones Aéreas y Marítimas de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza de Estados Unidos, conocida como CBP, siguió la embarcación durante una operación de vigilancia marítima.
La respuesta incluyó la coordinación entre unidades de CBP en Miami y Key Largo, además de efectivos de la Guardia Costera de Estados Unidos. La intercepción se produjo cerca de Angelfish Creek y Ocean Reef, donde los agentes localizaron una lancha cabinada de 8,2 metros (27 pies) con 23 ocupantes.
La Guardia Costera abordó la nave y realizó el procedimiento sin que se registraran enfrentamientos, según la información conocida sobre el caso. La embarcación fue confiscada mientras avanza la pesquisa sobre las circunstancias del viaje y la posible participación de los detenidos en el traslado de los pasajeros.
Tres ocupantes fueron acusados y otros 20 regresaron a Bahamas
Entre las personas que viajaban en la lancha había un ciudadano cubano señalado como presunto organizador del traslado, ocho ecuatorianos, 13 ciudadanos chinos y un dominicano. La cantidad de ocupantes y la identificación de quienes enfrentarían cargos generaron diferencias en los informes iniciales, aunque la investigación posterior estableció que tres personas quedarían acusadas y que las demás serían tratadas como migrantes.
La denuncia federal citada por El Nuevo Herald indica que Pelegrin Luis no contaba con permiso para permanecer en Estados Unidos. El documento judicial también sostiene que Ortiz Romero y Lema Mayancela tenían órdenes de expulsión previas, un elemento incluido en el expediente presentado ante la Justicia federal.
Las autoridades señalaron a los tres detenidos como presuntos responsables de transportar o inducir el ingreso no autorizado de extranjeros. Los otros 20 pasajeros fueron considerados migrantes que intentaban llegar a Estados Unidos por vía marítima desde Bahamas, por lo que quedaron sujetos a los procedimientos establecidos tras la intercepción.
Los pasajeros fueron trasladados a dos buques tras el operativo
Después del abordaje, los 23 ocupantes de la lancha fueron llevados al guardacostas Pablo Valent para completar los trámites correspondientes. Los tres acusados quedaron bajo custodia de Investigaciones de Seguridad Nacional (HSI) mientras continuaba la investigación federal.
Los otros 20 migrantes fueron trasladados posteriormente al buque Margaret Norvell. La Guardia Costera confirmó que ese grupo fue entregado a las autoridades de Bahamas el 21 de septiembre, luego de las actuaciones realizadas por las agencias estadounidenses involucradas en el operativo.
El caso vuelve a situar la atención sobre las rutas marítimas utilizadas para intentar llegar a Florida desde Bahamas. Las autoridades estadounidenses mantienen operativos de vigilancia aérea y naval con el objetivo de detectar embarcaciones antes de que alcancen la costa, mientras la causa contra los tres detenidos continúa ante la Justicia federal.

Irish PM rejects antisemitism concerns in Ireland amid dramatic vote over boycotting Israel game
Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin rejected claims that Ireland’s sharp criticism of Israel has crossed into antisemitism as tensions flared around a politically charged soccer match between the countries Sunday, with Irish players holding a last-minute vote over whether to boycott the game.
Martin, in an exclusive interview with Digital this week in New York, outlined why Ireland has taken such a staunch position against the Israeli government’s conduct of the war in Gaza, calling its military response «absolutely disproportionate» while pressing Israel to «change strategy» and calling for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Martin argued that Ireland’s own history — particularly its experience ending decades of conflict in Northern Ireland — gives the country a role to play as a voice for peace on the international stage, a theme he returned to while discussing Ukraine and the ongoing debate over Irish reunification.
«I think for the vast majority of people it does not,» Martin said when asked directly whether anti-Israel sentiment in Ireland had crossed the line into antisemitism.
«We have no toleration for antisemitism, none,» Martin added.
NEW YORK TIMES ISSUES CORRECTION, DELETES LINE QUESTIONING IF ISRAELIS WERE VICTIMS OF OCT 7 TERROR ATTACK
The extraordinary player vote came after months of pressure surrounding the UEFA Nations League fixture on Sunday, with more than 160 Irish sports figures calling for a boycott and players themselves publicly questioning whether the match should go ahead.
A «significant majority» of players ultimately voted on Saturday to play the game, while one player left the squad after expressing his wish not to take part.
In the interview, Martin strongly condemned Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack and defended Israel’s right to exist in security.
«First of all, we condemned, absolutely, the outrageous terrorist attack by Hamas in October,» Martin told Digital.
«We believe in a two-state solution,» Martin said. «We believe that Israel, of course, has a right to exist in security and its people need to be guaranteed of security. But likewise, Palestinians should have a right to live in their homeland in a peaceful way.»
«There are many peaceful voices in Palestine that I’ve met who want peaceful coexistence with Israel.»
Martin said Ireland’s strongly pro-Palestinian position was rooted partly in its own history.
«There’s a very strong pro-Palestinian position in Ireland,» Martin said. «Ireland, the Irish government and the Irish people, probably because of our own history, but also because of a sense of right and justice and fairness.»
Thousands have taken to the streets across Ireland since the war began, while national broadcaster RTÉ refused to air this year’s Eurovision Song Contest after Israel’s participation was confirmed.
Ireland spent centuries under British rule before most of the island gained independence a little more than a century ago, while Northern Ireland remains part of the United Kingdom.
He said Israel’s military response to the Oct. 7 attack had resonated deeply in Ireland and called for increased humanitarian aid into Gaza.
«We want humanitarian aid going into Gaza. There’s not enough humanitarian aid going in,» Martin said, pointing to the conditions facing roughly 2 million people there, including shortages of food and shelter and children without access to education.
Martin said Ireland wanted Israel to reconsider its conduct of the war, asking whether it would «change strategy» and «change its approach to the whole issue.»
«So that’s the background to the Irish position,» he said. «People are angry in terms of what’s going on in the Middle East and that’s the manifestation of it.»
ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE REACHES DEADLIEST LEVEL SINCE 1994, NEW GLOBAL REPORT FINDS
Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson said his players were uncomfortable with the games, declaring: «We’re not playing with genocide, we’re playing against genocide.» The Israeli Football Association accused him of «stupidity, ignorance and hypocrisy,» prompting Martin to call the remarks «unacceptable.»
The FAI previously sought Israel’s suspension from international competition. Separately, Irish soccer officials later voted to fulfill the Israel fixtures after being warned a boycott could cost the association at least $6.3 million and trigger UEFA sanctions.
Sunday’s game will be played in Hungary, while Ireland’s Oct. 4 home fixture has been moved to Serbia and will be played behind closed doors. Irish supporters will not have access to either game.
An organized campaign dubbed #StopTheGame has, meanwhile, spent months pressuring Irish soccer officials and players not to fulfill the Israel fixtures, staging protests and urging the national team to refuse to play.
The campaign has also spilled onto the field. During a friendly against Qatar in May, protesters threw tennis balls bearing «Stop The Game» messages onto the pitch in opposition to the Israel fixtures.
Martin has resisted calls for Ireland to boycott Israel, arguing that unilateral action could be «self-defeating» and may hurt Irish soccer without having any effect on Israel.
The dispute over the games reflects a broader debate over whether Ireland’s criticism of Israel has crossed a line.
The American Jewish Committee raised concerns directly with Martin in Washington in March 2025 about antisemitism and what it called the «vilification of Israel in Ireland.» An Anti-Defamation League official also participated in the meeting. The AJC alleged that antisemitism had become «pervasive» in Ireland.
Martin pointed to Ireland’s annual Holocaust commemorations and the historic contribution of Jewish communities in Dublin, Cork and elsewhere in rejecting the suggestion that antisemitism was broadly tolerated in Ireland. He also pointed to Ireland’s participation in international efforts against antisemitism and said the country campaigns against it globally.
«We cherish that contribution that the Jewish community has made to Ireland,» Martin said.
Martin’s defense of Ireland’s position came before he addressed world leaders at the United Nations on Thursday, where he delivered a sharply critical assessment of Israel’s conduct in Gaza and the West Bank, declaring that the international community had «failed Palestine.»
«When the full truth of what has happened, what is still happening in Gaza, is finally known, when the evidence is gathered, when the testimonies are heard, when the true horrors are finally and fully revealed, it will shame the world,» he said. «Nobody will be able to say that we did not know.»
Martin accused violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank of acting with «near-total impunity» and said Palestinian communities faced displacement and destruction «amounting to ethnic cleansing.»
He reiterated his support for a two-state solution, saying the only viable outcome was for «a State of Palestine and a State of Israel» to live side by side «in peace, security and dignity.»
During his Digital interview, Martin connected Ireland’s position on the Middle East to its experience ending decades of violence in Northern Ireland, saying «we feel we can make a contribution to that conflict resolution pathway.»
That role has taken on added significance as Ireland holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, giving it an elevated diplomatic role at a time of multiple international conflicts.
Martin also pointed to a personal experience that shaped his thinking, recalling meeting Israeli Rami Elhanan and Palestinian Bassam Aramin in Israel, two fathers who each lost a daughter in the conflict and later worked together for peace. Their stories are told in Colum McCann’s novel «Apeirogon.»
«That’s an inspiration to me,» Martin said, adding that he had met both men in Israel. He said their work reflected Ireland’s own efforts to reconcile communities divided by generations of conflict.
Beyond the Middle East, Martin addressed Russia’s war in Ukraine, saying a ceasefire along existing battle lines could provide a starting point for negotiations while rejecting territorial gains by force.
«Ukraine can’t cede territory that Russia hasn’t even conquered, despite four years of war,» Martin said. «From our perspective, no one has the right to go into another country and take its territory.»
Ireland has maintained its military neutrality while providing humanitarian and non-lethal assistance to Ukraine and taking in more than 120,000 Ukrainians since Russia’s invasion. Martin rejected suggestions that such support compromised Ireland’s neutrality, noting that Dublin has not supplied lethal weapons. «We want the war to end,» he said.
Martin’s focus on ending long-running conflicts also extends to Ireland’s own divided island. He and his Fianna Fáil party support reunification with Northern Ireland, but he said greater trust between the two communities must come first.
«I believe in unity and my party believes in unity, but we have to work on it,» Martin said. «We have to build reconciliation amongst the different traditions on the island of Ireland.»
Under the Good Friday Agreement, a referendum would be called if it appeared likely that a majority in Northern Ireland supported reunification — an issue that gained fresh attention when Trump said during his recent visit to the country that he would «love» to see a united Ireland.
Martin also pointed to Ireland’s unique relationship with the United States, crediting Washington with playing a «critical» role in the Northern Ireland peace process in the 1990s.
Asked whether Washington could play a role again in a future reunification process, he replied: «To a degree maybe, potentially, yeah.»
