Salah Sarsour Detention, Medical Neglect

Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian-born legal permanent resident of the United States>>>, was detained by United States — United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement>>> agents in April. His attorneys allege he is being held on baseless claims of being a foreign policy threat, possibly due to his criticism of Israel>>> and a past minor conviction by Israeli military courts. Since his detention, Salah Sarsour>>>, who has Type 2 diabetes, has allegedly been denied consistent medical care, leading to a 30-pound weight loss and severe abdominal pain. His blood sugar levels are not consistently checked, and he was told to buy his own medication. Furthermore, he claims jail guards denied him access to a Quran, interrupted his prayers, and offered him BBQ pork rinds, violating his religious dietary restrictions. His attorneys, including Luna Droubi>>>, have made an urgent appeal to U.S. District Judge J. P. Hanlon>>> for his release. An investigation by KFF>>> and Associated Press>>> revealed hundreds of similar medical neglect allegations in federal lawsuits across 33 states.
