Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested the head of Wisconsin's largest mosque, who was previously linked to Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib and groups allegedly connected to Hamas.
Salah Salem Sarsour, 53, was apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] on Monday, in a 'targeted operation' in Milwaukee, according to federal authorities.
DHS said Jordanian national Sarsour is a 'convicted terrorist' who allegedly lied on his green card application when he arrived in the United States over 30 years ago.
Sarsour serves as the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and is a high-profile community member and businessman. The Daily Mail reported in 2023 that he co-hosted a campaign event for Tlaib during her 2018 campaign. She won the election and became one of the first two Muslim women in Congress.
Tlaib is a Detroit native of Palestinian heritage. She has been a vocal critic of the Israeli government and came under fire in 2023 when House members attempted to censure her for expressing pro-Palestinian views.
Sarsour had previously been accused of raising money for the Holy Land Foundation of Relief and Development, an organization that was raided by federal agents in 2001 for illegally funneling $12 million to Hamas, according to a 2001 FBI memorandum.
Five HLF leaders were convicted and sentenced to time in a federal prison for the scheme. Sarsour was never formally charged in relation to the terror funding.
'Salah Salem Sarsour is a terrorist convicted for throwing Molotov cocktails at the homes of Israeli armed forces. This illegal alien from Jordan lied on his green card application to gain legal status in the US,' Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement announcing Sarsour's arrest.

This is a first!
Hopefully, the first of many militant imams EXPELLED and their mosques blown to hell.
They are ENEMY COMBATANTS who do NOT have the right to be in the US.
Same with Omar.
Enemy combatants should be kicked out of congress and DEPORTED.
Mamdani, his “wife” and his Hezbollah-buddies need to be kicked out also.
Loving it!

Gif....
On his dating service site bio the women see a picture of George Clooney at age 35. The high tech age.
INB4 a judge rules that they must release him, and someone starts screaming that his arrest is SOLELY based on racism and/or islamophobia.
