Deportation decision for a 30-year imam in the U.S.

Wisconsin’s largest mosque’s president Salah Sarsour was ruled deportable from the U.S. for pro‑Palestinian activities. Sarsour, who has been under ICE supervision for more than 80 days, will have his lawyers appeal the ruling.

Sarsour, a Palestinian‑born individual who has held lawful permanent residency in the United States for over 30 years, was detained by ICE on March 30. Released in June by a federal court decision, Sarsour was found deportable in the final hearing of his immigration case.

Immigration Judge Jayme Salinardi accepted the foreign‑policy grounds based on a 2025 memo from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in his ruling. The government argues that Sarsour’s activities conflict with U.S. policies against antisemitism and foreign terrorist organizations.

The judge did not accept some of the government's allegations that Sarsour lied in his green‑card application.

The decision does not yet mean deportation.

Sarsour is preparing to appeal the ruling. According to his lawyers, the deportation order will not be enforced immediately as long as the legal process continues. Sarsour also said he will defend his right to free speech and his right to remain in the United States.

Sarsour’s file is among the cases in which the Trump administration applied its foreign‑policy‑based immigration authority against pro‑Palestinian activists and organizations. The same legal provision had previously been used against Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi.
