A US immigration court has ruled that the government can proceed with deporting Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian community leader who has lived in the United States for 33 years, according to Anadolu Agency.
The court upheld the removability grounds cited by the government, which were based on foreign-policy considerations rather than a criminal conviction, the report states.
Sarsour's defense team has indicated it will appeal the ruling, signaling that the case is likely to continue through further legal proceedings before any deportation could be carried out.
The case has drawn attention as an example of immigration removability actions grounded in foreign-policy justifications, an area that has drawn scrutiny from civil rights advocates concerned about due process for long-term US residents.
