US can deport the leader of Wisconsin’s largest mosque on national security grounds, judge rules
The judge rejected the government’s false-statement claim, and Sarsour’s lawyers say the 30-day appeal will challenge removal on torture grounds.
- Immigration Judge Jayme Salinardi ruled Wednesday that Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, can be deported as a foreign policy threat, though rejecting claims he lied on his green card application.
- Following his March detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, a Federal judge found Sarsour raised a "substantial" claim that the Trump administration targeted him for pro-Palestinian speech, ordering his release pending the immigration case.
- Testifying in Sarsour's defense, Jawad Boulos stated that Shin Bet agents coerced his confession, while Patrick Taurel argued the decades-old Israeli convictions resulted from torture, not terrorist ties.
- Sarsour told The Associated Press that returning to the West Bank "means the end of my life," while his legal team maintains his previous Israeli treatment indicates dangers he faces if deported.
- Secretary Marco Rubio issued a memo in June 2025 stating Sarsour could be deported on similar grounds as Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi, reflecting a broader Trump administration effort to expel Palestinian rights advocates.
