Congresswoman Gwen Moore Calls for Immediate Release of Milwaukee Community Leader Salah Sarsour
Milwaukee, WI — Congresswoman Gwen Moore is calling on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to immediately release Salah Sarsour, President of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, following his recent detention.
“This is completely unacceptable. Salah Sarsour is a respected leader in the Milwaukee community, and his detention raises serious concerns about the continued targeting of lawful residents based on the color of their skin or their political beliefs.
We cannot allow federal agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to operate in a discriminatory and politically motivated manner, which is why I will keep opposing funding for DHS that allows them to continue to kidnap people and inflict abuse in our communities.
I will do everything in my power to bring Salah Sarsour home to his family and community.”
