Residents protest backed-up sewers and uncollected trash in wake of metro Detroit flooding
On Friday, about 100 residents of Dearborn, a metro Detroit suburb, gathered outside the 19th District Court building to protest the response of the city administration to recent flooding.
At least one resident, an 87-year-old man, Hussein Reda, was killed when he slipped and fell in his flooded basement. Neighbors found his body during a welfare check.
The protest was apparently organized through WhatsApp and Facebook by a small group of residents who are fed up with the city’s repeated mishandling of floods. Last week, large parts of the metro Detroit area were flooded out as a result of a several days of rain. A similar disaster hit homeowners in 2014.
