Dearborn State Rep Farhat Introduces New Bill to End Forced Hijab Removal by Police in Michigan
A New bill introduced by Dearborn State Representative Alabas Farhat seeks to add protections for individuals wearing religious garments during arrest procedures such as the hijab. The bill addresses the gap in current state law, which lacks a uniform policy on booking photographs and arrest processes for those wearing items such as headscarves or hijabs.
