Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has officially denied Maher Tarabishi the chance to attend his son Wael’s funeral. This is a heartbreaking final blow to a family already devastated by Wael’s death while his father was held in detention.
The family had urgently requested that Maher be allowed to attend the services for his 30-year-old son, who required constant care due to a severe, progressive muscle disorder. For years, Maher and Wael were completely inseparable. Wael suffered from Pompe disease, and Maher wasn’t just his best friend, he was his entire support system.
