Congresswoman Gwen Moore Applauds Court Order Requiring Release of Salah Sarsour From ICE Detention
Congresswoman Gwen Moore today welcomed a federal judge’s ruling ordering the release of Salah Sarsour from ICE detention, calling the decision a victory for due process and human dignity.
“Over the course of two visits, I observed troubling signs of declining health and raised serious concerns about the conditions of his confinement,” said Congresswoman Moore. “No person in ICE custody should be denied adequate nutrition, medical attention, or humane treatment.
Congresswoman Moore has repeatedly advocated on Mr. Sarsour’s behalf, including through multiple letters to ICE officials demanding that he receive proper medical care and sufficient nutrition.
“The court’s ruling affirms what many of us have been saying for months: Mr. Sarsour’s continued detention was unjustifiable,” Moore continued. “Thank you to the legal advocates, community leaders, and family members who fought tirelessly for Mr. Sarsour’s release.”
