Milwaukee Mosque President Detained by 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. His attorneys and local officials, including United States===Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, allege the arrest is politically motivated due to Sarsour's criticism of Israel and a past conviction as a minor by Israeli military courts. The United States===United States Department of Homeland Security confirmed the arrest, accusing Sarsour of lying on immigration forms and being suspected of funding terror organizations, citing his past conviction for throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli armed forces. Sarsour's supporters are calling for his release, and his attorneys have filed a petition to that effect.
