April 2, 2026

The president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents this week after the authorities said he had been convicted of crimes by Israel more than three decades ago and had lied on his American green card application.

The president, Salah Sarsour, 53, has led the group, which is the largest Islamic organization in Wisconsin, for five years. In a statement on Thursday, the group said that he was a legal permanent resident who had lived in the United States for more than three decades.

Source that ISN'T blatantly pro-Israel, or at least less so

Seems he's a legal permanent resident of 30 years without an American criminal record being deported because of something he MIGHT have done as a teenager, according to the only government in the world that's still less credible than the Trump kakistocracy.

Reminder: when it comes to anything regarding the fascist apartheid state that is Israel, (or cops), the NYT is no more credible than the NY ComPost.

Huh? This article is not anti-Islamic or anti-Palestinian. If the NYT prints something useful, I have no problem posting it.
