Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan's US Senate race has sparked celebrations in Dearborn, home to the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the United States.

El-Sayed will become the first Muslim elected to the US Senate. Residents and community leaders say his victory represents a historic breakthrough and a sense of belonging for people from diverse backgrounds.
