Summary
In late March, a team of federal immigration agents detained Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian immigrant and president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee. Now, after more than two months in ICE custody, his health is deteriorating, according to the attorneys fighting for his release and members of his family. Sarsour’s son Kareem joined WORT News Producer Faye Parks this afternoon to share his story. Image courtesy: Free Salah Sarsour via Facebook.
