US Immigration Judge Rules Palestinian Wisconsin Mosque Leader Can Be Deported

A US immigration judge has ruled that President Donald Trump’s administration can deport Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian who heads Wisconsin’s largest mosque.

The decision places the mosque leader at risk of removal from the United States. It does not, in itself, establish that he has been deported.

The ruling is the latest targeting supporters of the Palestinian cause in the United States, bringing renewed attention to immigration action against them.

The available information did not specify the legal grounds for the decision, whether Sarsour would appeal or when any deportation could take place.
