Attorneys for Salah Sarsour, president of Wisconsin's largest mosque, say he has lost 30 pounds and is denied proper diabetes care in ICE custody. - Sarsour, a Palestinian-born legal permanent resident, was detained in April on what attorneys call baseless foreign policy threat claims.
- He has Type 2 diabetes and his blood sugar levels are not consistently checked, risking organ failure. - Jail guards allegedly denied him access to a Quran and interrupted his prayers, and offered pork rinds despite his religious dietary restrictions.
- The Department of Homeland Security says all detainees receive three meals and proper medical care, but court documents are sealed. The case highlights broader allegations of medical neglect in ICE detention, with hundreds of similar lawsuits filed across 33 states.
