Milwaukee, WI — Good riddance. On March 30, ICE agents swooped in and detained Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, the state’s largest mosque. Sarsour, a Jordanian national and longtime legal permanent resident, has a rap sheet that screams national security risk.
DHS confirms the guy was convicted in Israel for throwing Molotov cocktails at the homes of Israeli soldiers and possessing weapons. He then lied about it on his U.S. immigration paperwork to snag a green card back in the Clinton era. Now, after more than 30 years here, federal authorities have him locked up in Indiana, calling him a foreign policy threat with no bail.
Left-wing activists, local politicians, and Muslim advocacy groups are crying “political persecution” and “Islamophobia,” claiming it’s all because Sarsour mouths off in support of Palestine. Spare us. This isn’t about free speech — it’s about enforcing the law against someone with a documented terrorist past who wormed his way into a position of influence at a major mosque.
America doesn’t owe sanctuary to firebombers who hide their history to game the system. President Trump’s ICE is finally doing what previous administrations ignored: prioritizing real threats over open borders fantasies. One down. Keep the removals coming. Deportation proceedings are underway, and that’s exactly how it should be.
No more letting radicals run mosques while waving the American flag of convenience. Law and order just scored a win for national security.
