Baldwin, other senators join calls to release Salah Sarsour from immigration detention

Democratic Senators Tammy Baldwin, Bernie Sanders, and Chris Van Hollen have sent a joint letter to the Department of Homeland Security condemning the arrest and detention of Salah Sarsour, president of Milwaukee’s Islamic Society, since late March. They argue he was targeted for criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza, faces inadequate medical care for his diabetes, and lacks religious accommodations in detention.
