Salah Sarsour, the president of Wisconsin’s largest mosque, has spoken out following his release from more than 80 days in federal immigration detention. Sarsour was held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for over two months before his recent release.
Sarsour described his experience in detention as “dehumanizing,” stating that the conditions he faced reminded him of time he previously spent in an Israeli military jail. The account highlights his perspective on the treatment he received while in federal custody, drawing a direct comparison to his past experiences in the Middle East.
