Amer Ghalib, the mayor of a Michigan city that became the first in the U.S. to elect an all-Muslim city council, endorsed former President Donald Trump on Sunday, calling him the “right choice for this critical time.”

“President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles,” Ghalib, the Democratic mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, wrote in a post on Facebook. “Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time.”

“I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences.”

Hamtramck, a city of 28,000 people surrounded by Detroit, became the first city in the country with a Muslim-majority city council in 2015. Voters elected an all-Muslim city council in 2021. Ghalib, who is originally from Yemen, became the first Muslim mayor of Hamtramck in 2022.

Ghalib and Trump met in Flint, Michigan, last week as the former president seeks to court voters in the state and appeal to Muslim- and Arab-Americans.

Trump told Breitbart on Sunday night he was “very impressed” after meeting the mayor. The former president added that he would try and hold a rally in the city “if the opportunity presents itself.”

The Trump administration enacted harsh policies against immigrants during his time in the White House. He has pledged to reimpose his widely criticized ban on travel from some Muslim-majority nations and promised to enact the “largest deportation” in U.S. history if he is reelected.
