Salah Sarsour Detention by US ICE

Salah Sarsour, the Palestinian-born president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and a legal permanent resident of the United States, was detained by United States — United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in United States — Milwaukee. The United States — United States Department of Homeland Security confirmed his arrest, accusing him of lying on immigration forms and being suspected of funding terror organizations, citing a past conviction as a minor by Israeli military courts for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails. His attorneys, Munjed Ahmad and Othman Atta, deny these claims, asserting that Sarsour is being targeted for his criticism of Israel and his advocacy for Palestinian rights. The detention has sparked outcry from local officials, including United States — Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, and advocacy groups, who liken the case to Mahmoud Khalil's and condemn it as an overreach of United States immigration authorities and a violation of due process and free speech under the Donald Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
