ICE Arrests Wisconsin Mosque President for Alleged Immigration Fraud and Past Terror Conviction

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Salah Salem Sarsour, the president of Wisconsin's largest mosque. Officials say Sarsour lied on his green card application to hide a criminal past. He received legal status during the Clinton administration but did not disclose a conviction for throwing a Molotov cocktail at the homes of Israeli forces. Sarsour is also suspected of funding terrorist organizations and has a history of trying to get weapons illegally. He is currently in ICE custody as the government begins the process to remove him from the country.
