An immigration judge has cleared the way for the leader of Wisconsin’s largest mosque, an outspoken advocate of Palestinian rights, to be deported on the grounds that he is a threat to national security.
Salah Sarsour was detained in Milwaukee in March by ICE officers. A federal judge ordered Sarsour’s release in June, saying he raised a “substantial” claim that the Trump administration was targeting him for speaking out against Israel and advocating for Palestinian rights.
