MOORHEAD, Minn. Moorhead police and the FBI are investigating vandalism at a local mosque.
“These are people who live in our community. They work in our community. Our children go to school together. We are one community that loves one another. That supports one another and this is not to be tolerated in our city and it’s unacceptable,” Moorhead Mayor Shelly Carlson said.

WASHINGTON A diverse coalition of 43 organizations representing foreign policy and peace activists, veterans, human rights defenders, and Iranian Americans sent a letter calling on President Biden to provide urgently-needed sanctions relief for the people of Iran as they combat another deadly wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
More than 65,000 Iranians have already died as a result of the pandemic a tragic figure made worse by the fact that sanctions have made the crisis far worse. The signers of this letter urge President Biden to take a new approach: “COVID-19 is a shared threat, and the U.S. needs to treat it like one. By prioritizing humanitarian relief for Iran and other sanctioned states, President Biden can follow through on his campaign commitment and demonstrate that the U.S. can be a force for global good.”

Washington DC–
Jamal Abdi, President of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), issued the following statement on the House passage of the NO BAN Act (H.R. 1333) from Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) and Access to Counsel Act from Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA):
“The protests against Donald Trump’s Muslim ban fed into a movement that swept Trump from office and brought in Joe Biden, who ended the ban on his first day in office. But the work remains for those who continue to be impacted by the ban and communities – like the Iranian-American community – who risk being targeted by subsequent bans. Unfortunately, Trumpism and the ugly xenophobia that fuels it remains a powerful force in American politics.
