A coalition of Muslim civil rights organisations gathered outside the US Supreme Court to demand the immediate release of Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian community leader who has lived in the US for more than 30 years and was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on March 30.
Sarsour, head of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and a board member of American Muslims for Palestine, was pulled over by more than 10 ICE agents while driving near his home on March 30, according to the Islamic Society of Milwaukee.
He was first taken to a detention facility in Chicago before being transferred to one in Indiana.
