Palestinian Activist Salah Sarsour Faces US Deportation as Israeli Convictions Follow Him Decades Later

Salah Sarsour, a prominent advocate for Palestinian rights and a permanent resident of the United States, has been ordered deported.

Sarsour heads the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, the largest Islamic organization in Wisconsin. His position places him at the forefront of a major Muslim community institution in the state.

He has lived in the United States since 1993. The deportation order now threatens to end a period of residence spanning more than three decades.

Israeli convictions dating back decades continue to shadow Sarsour in the United States. The available details do not specify the grounds for the deportation order or whether those convictions formed its legal basis.
