Back in June, the FBI arrested eight people at the University of Michigan for engaging in an ongoing campaign of terror against Jewish community leaders and officials at the University of Michigan.
Over this weekend, four more people were arrested as part of the same investigation.
It has now been revealed that one of the original eight arrested by the FBI was a campaign worker for Abdul El-Sayed.
Anyone surprised?

From the New York Post:
A former Abdul El-Sayed campaign worker was among the dozen anti-Israel activists accused of terrorizing members of Michigan’s Jewish community, according to feds.
Mariam Odeh, 24, was one of eight included in the original rounds of indictments by the US Attorney’s Office for allegedly threatening University of Michigan officials in an attempt to force the school to cut ties with Israel, the US Attorney’s Office in Eastern Michigan said.
The number of conspirators grew to 12 Friday when four more alleged co-conspirators were indicted, federal prosecutors said.
Odeh, who was charged in June for her alleged role in the scheme, did a stint working for El-Sayed’s Michigan Senate campaign, The Detroit News reported that same month.
She had been paid twice by the lefty candidate’s campaign, records obtained by the outlet showed.
An El-Sayed spokesperson later confirmed Odeh’s position as an hourly employee on the campaign for two weeks to the outlet.
The Dearborn, Michigan native left the campaign gig on April 15, after raking in nearly $750, El-Sayed spokesperson Roxie Richner told the paper.
Odeh was allegedly among the crew of pro-Palestinian activists who planned and carried out the harassment and intimidation of school officials to try to get the university to cut ties with Israel, according to feds.
This is the type of person who is attracted to El-Sayed as a political candidate.
