A Michigan city lawmaker who was once a left-wing symbol for criminal justice reform faces two felony cases alleging domestic violence and election fraud.
Flint City Councilman Leon el Alamin is set for a September evidence hearing over claims that he lived outside the ward he represents during the 2024 elections and an October trial for allegedly beating an ex-girlfriend he lived with, according to Genesee County court records and local media reports. El Alamin, an ex-drug dealer whose prior record was expunged, endorsed Democratic Michigan primary winner Abdul el Sayed’s Senate run last year before el Sayed’s campaign called his domestic violence and assault case “deeply” disturbing.
