Judge rules Wisconsin mosque leader deportable, but legal battles continue

A US immigration judge ruled that Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, can be deported under a rarely used foreign policy provision. Sarsour, a lawful permanent resident for nearly 30 years, was detained in March after Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited his advocacy for Palestinian rights as a threat to US interests. While the judge accepted the government's claim that Sarsour is removable, the ruling does not mandate immediate deportation. Sarsour’s attorneys plan to appeal, arguing that returning him to Israel or Jordan would risk torture. The case highlights tensions between national security claims and free speech protections for pro-Palestinian activists.
