Summary
An immigration judge in Chicago ruled Wednesday that Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee for five years, is removable on national security grounds. The Trump administration said Sarsour, convicted in Israel as a teenager for throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli soldiers' homes, allegedly helped fundraise for Hamas in the 1990s. The judge dismissed claims he lied on his immigration application. Sarsour says the case is politically motivated and plans to appeal.
