Palestinian Activist Salah Sarsour Faces Deportation From US as Decades-Old Israeli Convictions Resurface

Salah Sarsour, a prominent advocate for Palestinian rights and a permanent US resident, has been ordered deported after living in the United States since 1993.

Sarsour is president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, the largest Islamic organisation in Wisconsin. His leadership role has made him a prominent figure in the state’s Muslim community.

His case brings renewed attention to Israeli convictions dating back decades. The information provided does not detail the underlying charges or explain how those convictions factored into the deportation ruling.

The order now places Sarsour’s future in the United States in question after decades of residence. No details were provided about the timing of his deportation or whether he would appeal the decision.
