Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions urging him to investigate the recent desecration of a Jewish cemetery as a hate crime. Ellison, D-Minn., called on Sessions to designate the attack on the Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri, in which more than 150 headstones were overturned and damaged, as a hate crime.
