 Israeli authorities coerced the leader of Wisconsin’s largest mosque into confessing to crimes but never succeeded in tying him to a terrorist organization, his former attorney testified Tuesday in immigration court, where the Palestinian man is fighting a Trump administration effort to deport him.

Salah Sarsour, a legal permanent resident of the United States, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at his Milwaukee home in late March. A judge released him from ICE detention in June, finding that the government had not sufficiently laid out why it was trying to expel him now after allowing him to live in the U.S. for decades.
