The Minneapolis mayoral campaign office of Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh was vandalized earlier this week with a threatening message, campaign officials said.
Fateh's campaign released an image of a written message they allege was left at the scene, reading, "Somali Muslim — this warning is no joke."
His office filed a police report on Wednesday. Fateh, 35, said in a statement his campaign won't be "deterred by hate speech and vandalism."
"We will not back down to Islamophobia. I will not be bullied or intimidated," Fateh said. "The people of Minneapolis are demanding change, and I will continue fighting for it. My team and I are dedicated to continuing to connect with Minneapolis residents and winning this election. We will not be stopped."
In a statement, Mayor Jacob Frey said
