Two Michigan Residents Charged with Making Terrorist Threats Against State Officials
Prosecutors say one suspect threatened a mosque and mayor, while the other emailed death threats to the governor, secretary of state and state justices.
- Attorney General Dana Nessel announced charges on Monday against two Michigan residents accused of making terrorist threats against public officials and the Michigan Supreme Court in separate, unrelated incidents.
- Alicia Choucair of Roseville faces two counts of false report or threat of terrorism, allegedly threatening Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and a mosque if "your people" weren't kept out of her town.
- Separately, Anthony Dekinderen of Lake Orion was charged with nine counts of false report or threat of terrorism, allegedly emailing threats to kill Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and Michigan Supreme Court justices.
- Dekinderen received a $5 million bond after his Saturday arraignment in 52-3 District Court in Rochester Hills, while Choucair was granted a $20,000 bond following her September 17 arraignment in 19th District Court in Dearborn.
- Nessel warned that threats against officials are "becoming increasingly common," stating these charges will "serve as a warning" that Michigan takes threats seriously and will prosecute such cases to the fullest extent of the law.
