April 1, 2026

Washington D.C. – In the wake of the antisemitic attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, Congresswoman Haley Stevens is speaking out, standing with the Jewish community, and pushing for action.

In The Detroit News, Stevens highlighted how Oakland County rallied together in the immediate aftermath, crediting first responders and community members whose swift action saved lives, while calling for unity in the face of hate.

On the House floor, she forcefully condemned the attack and warned that antisemitism is rising at alarming levels. She urged Congress to move beyond words and take real action to protect houses of worship and invest in Holocaust education.

Following the FBI briefing, Stevens pointed to extremist ideology behind the attack and stressed the need for an urgent and serious investigation as well as stronger security and coordination to keep communities safe.

Across each moment, her message has been consistent: Jewish Americans should never have to fear practicing their faith, and leaders must do more to confront antisemitism.

As West Bloomfield’s Congresswoman, Stevens is continuing to push for action, accountability, and protection for communities under threat so no American has to fear being attacked while practicing their faith.
