- ICE detention of Salah Sarsour, mosque president, for 80+ days on retaliation and political grounds — Salah Sarsour, president of Wisconsin's largest mosque and a green card holder of nearly three decades, was detained by ICE on 30 March 2026 after being surrounded by armed agents. A federal judge found he was likely detained in retaliation for his Palestinian rights advocacy, rendering the detention potentially unlawful. The Trump administration continues seeking his deportation; Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a memo deeming him deportable for allegedly undermining US foreign policy on antisemitism. Sarsour reported dehumanizing conditions, denial of medical care, and religious observance restrictions during his 80+ days in custody.
