Last week a hijab-wearing Muslim girl reported to police that she was attacked by Trump supporters on a New York City subway while onlookers stood by and did nothing. The alleged incident turned out to be a hoax.

In Ann Arbor, Michigan, something similar has happened, although the accusation was different:
