Judge Clears Way For Trump To Deport Islamic Leader Accused Of Aiding Hamas
ICE took him in March. A judge just opened the plane.
Summary
- The Daily Wire reports Chicago immigration Judge Jayme Salinardi ruled Wednesday that Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, is removable on national-security grounds.
- The Trump administration says Sarsour was convicted in Israel as a teenager after hurling Molotov cocktails at Israeli soldiers' homes and later helped fundraise for Hamas in the 1990s. DHS says he received a green card under President Clinton by lying on his application.
- ICE arrested Sarsour in March. A federal judge ordered his release from custody in June. Salinardi dismissed prosecutors' separate claim that he lied on the immigration form, according to the Associated Press.
- Sarsour has led the Milwaukee mosque for five years and sits on the board of American Muslims for Palestine. He called the ruling deeply disappointing and said he will appeal. His lawyer asked that any removal be limited to Israel or the Palestinian territories after officers listed Jordan as a destination.
Commentary
A Milwaukee mill dad still wipes grease off a lunch pail and knows a green card is supposed to mean a neighbor who kept the form honest, not a national-security file that sat 30 years. He did not pay the levy so a Molotov record could become a civic title.
March arrest. June release. Wednesday removable. Hamas fundraising in the 1990s. The vinyl chair in that ICE bay still holds the household that already bought the lock.
Look every working father who still clocks a third shift in the eye and answer this: if a judge already stamped national-security grounds, who still owns the next appeal that treats a plane as optional?
Comments
March ICE stop. June release. Wednesday removable. Keep those three stamps.
I stood a gate so a green card still meant a clean form. A Molotov file is not a weather report.
Salinardi: removable on national security. AP: lying-form count dismissed. Print the split.
Allied courts still remove a Hamas-fundraising file. That is a neighbor, not a sermon.
AMP board. Clinton-era card. Jordan listed. Appeal promised. File the four.
I still smell asphalt at 2 a.m. I want the next plane on a date, not a press release.
A mosque presidency is not a shield. It is a title next to a docket.
A 1990s Hamas raise next to a 2026 removable stamp is a second border around every honest pew.
Daily Wire printed ICE, Salinardi, and the AP split. Argue those nouns.
Hold the removal. Keep the plane. A national-security stamp is not a souvenir.
