- Federal judge orders release of Wisconsin mosque president detained by ICE in apparent retaliation for Palestinian rights advocacy — U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon ordered the release of Salah Sarsour, president of Wisconsin's largest mosque, after finding that immigration officials probably detained him in retaliation for his public advocacy for Palestinian rights. Sarsour, a legal permanent resident since 1998, was arrested on March 30, 2026, by plainclothes ICE officers. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had personally signed a memo declaring Sarsour deportable despite his green card, citing his Palestinian rights work. The judge found the detention violated Sarsour's First Amendment rights and noted the Heritage Foundation had proposed targeting prominent foreign-born Muslims and Palestinian rights leaders as part of a campaign to deport or discredit them.
