Overview

• Fateh’s campaign says a message reading “Somali Muslim — this warning is no joke” was scrawled on a window at the Minneapolis office this week.
• The campaign filed a police report on Wednesday and released a photo of the message after announcing the incident late that night.
• In a statement, Fateh said his team will not be deterred by hate speech or vandalism and rejected attempts at intimidation.
• The incident comes about a month after the state DFL vacated his July endorsement, citing an undercount tied to an electronic voting system, and placed the Minneapolis DFL on two years of probation as the city party appeals.
• Fateh’s campaign says threats and slurs have increased as he challenges Mayor Jacob Frey for the Nov. 4 election, attributing the surge to right‑wing attacks.
