WGN 9: CAIR-Chicago Press Conference Addressing Hate Incidents

CAIR-Chicago held a press conference Friday to address hate incidents targeting Illinois Muslims. Incidents included threats to kill Arab-American Muslim high school students, a threat sent to mosque, and a threatening call to CAIR-Chicago.

Report any suspicious activity or individuals to the local police (dial 911), and to the mosque or organization. Report any social media threats (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Email), voicemails, text messages, website attacks/hacks, phone calls, verbal threats, physical threats to the police.

Follow up with CAIR-Chicago after making any reports to the police so we can document and ensure threats are being investigated.
