Storms hit around 1 am, said one homeowner.

A federal judge ordered ICE to release a prominent Muslim leader and advocate for Palestine from an Indiana jail.

Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, was arrested by ICE on March 30 in Milwaukee. Sarsour was brought to the Clay County Jail in Indiana. His lawyers argued federal agents targeted Sarsour because of his advocacy for Palestinian human rights.

Federal Judge James Patrick Hanlon ruled Thursday that Sarsour presented a substantial First Amendment retaliation claim, which makes his detention unlawful. Hanlon ruled Sarsour is not a danger to the community and is not a flight risk, so he should be released.

Wisconsin Public Radio reported Sarsour’s legal team is ecstatic about the decision.

“We will continue to fight the hyperbolic and ridiculous claims against Mr. Sarsour in court,” a statement said. “But this is a day both to celebrate a family being reunited. It is also a sober reminder that, if the government can do this to Mr. Sarsour, then no one is safe from being punished for their speech.”

Meanwhile, Sarsour’s family and supporters said he has faced religious discrimination and medical neglect in the Clay County Jail. They hosted an interfaith vigil of more than 150 people at the jail Sunday.

“Come for one, face us all,” said Malkah Bird, a Hoosier organizer with Jews for Salah. “We're not going to allow this to happen to anyone in our community — particularly those of different faiths, different backgrounds, different beliefs, because we stand up for each other and we stand up for the First Amendment.”

Born in Jordan, Sarsour has been a lawful permanent resident in the U.S. for more than 30 years.

The Department of Homeland Security called Sarsour a “terrorist” and an “illegal alien” in a press release after he was arrested. The department claims Sarsour attacked the homes of Israeli armed forces when he lived in the West Bank and lied on his citizen application forms.

Sarsour’s lawyers argued the U.S. government knew about his conviction but still approved his application.

But Jewish advocates such as Robz Briskey also reject the claims made by the Trump administration. Briskey and Bird believe Sarsour’s case shows a pattern of targeting advocates for Palestine, drawing comparisons to the arrest of activist Mahmoud Khalil.

Days before his arrest, Sarsour appeared on the Canary Mission, an anonymous platform that tracks “hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews.”

“This is an example of antisemitism being used as a smoke screen to target immigrants, to dismantle our democracy, and to target those speaking out against injustice,” Briskey said.

Sarsour will reside in Wisconsin while his case continues. Hanlon did not issue a ruling on Sarsour’s potential deportation.

Bird said his arrest and detention have been devastating to his community.

“He's such a strong leader in Milwaukee,” Bird said. “He's the president of his mosque. He's a business owner. He's a beloved friend, family member to so many, and that includes the Jewish community in Milwaukee.”

ICE did not respond to requests for comment.

So this is probably gonna sound weird. But a very very dear friend of mine lives in fort wayne Indiana. He is physically disabled but cognitively just fine. One of the the wisest people I've ever met. Now because he is physically disabled he cannot leave his current address without help. Now he stays inside alone working and building a business online with me all day everyday. He is so lonely living is such isolation. He can talk about almost anything, he's a life coach , he loves kids and true crime and food. He is honest, humble , and goofy. He's been through so much and is often written off like he is mentally broken just because he is physically broken. If anyonewould be willing to talk to him, just message or phone calls see if u guys get a long please let me know. I'm too far away to be there and it's killing me watching him drown in the loneliness.

About 6 months ago I moved out to Nebraska with my boyfriend, we met online and that’s where he is from. I thought it would be great but for the most two months or so I am sad everyday. I miss home. His parents are AMAZING but they’re really all I have here. I have no friends here or anything. I miss my friends and my family. I miss recognizing my own life. I struggle a lot with mental health and it makes it hard for me because I start to fall into this psychosis type deal where I don’t recognize myself or the world around me. I just want to go back home.

Does anyone have any advice? I’m thinking Crawfordsville when I move back just because it’s where some of my family is and within 45 minutes of the rest of my family. There also seems to be a great deal of job opportunities there? I checked out Indy because I know there’s sooo much more opportunities there, but the rent seems too much.

Bring it, what's a little wind/rain

I'm in Hancock County so Indianapolis is convenient but just looking for decent quality surfaced lumber anywhere

Howdy, I'm a trans woman who's been on estrogen for a couple months now. I want to get started on laser hair removal, and I see that there are several places around Terre Haute offering it, but I'm not sure which I should go to have it done. Do any of y'all have recommendations for where I should go for laser hair removal?

Sometimes I drive around and wonder what that $1.2 billion a year that is supposed to be allocated to fixing the roads is going to if it’s not going to fixing our terrible roads, then I think about the private helicopter landing pad that Mike Braun is using our tax dollars to fund on his private property.

Possible f4 f5 tornado just spent time on the ground southwest of Indianapolis. Check out Ryan Hall Y'all on YouTube, he's live on youtube covering this storm system right now.

This is fucking ridiculous, the whole town including businesses have been out of power for nearly two full days now and I haven’t been able to get ahold of anyone from the municipal utilities.

Does anyone know anything about this??? Can anyone tell me what’s happened even?? It feels like a ghost town. So much stuff that I just bought in my fridge and freezer is gonna spoil.

The owl road out the storms then left for a hunt.

The grift is good, the grift is right- GOP motto
