US immigration judge rules Wisconsin mosque leader Salah Sarsour can be deported
US immigration judge Jayme Salinardi ruled that Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, can be deported under a Cold War-era immigration provision based on a memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The judge rejected government claims that Sarsour lied on his green card application. Sarsour's legal team plans to appeal and will seek protection under the Convention Against Torture.

The split, in one line
Al Jazeera frames the case as threatening free speech protections and highlights Rubio's unchecked power, while the Washington Times leads with national security grounds and Sarsour's Israeli convictions. The wires stay neutral on the legal mechanics.
