The judge found the government failed to prove retaliation wasn’t the motive behind his sudden detention, questioned why he was deemed a threat after decades of peaceful life in the U.S., and affirmed that lawful residents enjoy full First Amendment protections. Sarsour, who suffers from Type 2 diabetes and received inadequate medical care while detained, was freed shortly after the ruling and expressed relief to be with his family, vowing to continue speaking for the silenced. Though U.S. officials previously labeled him a “criminal and terrorist” — despite no U.S. criminal record — the judge rejected claims he lacks constitutional rights, citing his strong community ties and health concerns. His immigration case continues. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
