Immigration judge overturns decades-old deportation order against Subu Vedam

Taking the stand and fighting for his freedom turned into a victory for Subramanyam Vedam.

An immigration judge on Thursday morning granted Vedam’s appeal, allowing him to remain in the United States and overturning a deportation order that was first issued more than 30 years ago.

In issuing the ruling, the judge said Vedam “does not pose a danger to the community” and pointed to his actions while incarcerated as evidence of “good moral character.”

The judge cited a long list of accomplishments during Vedam’s decades in prison, including educating himself and starting a literacy program.

The Department of Homeland Security now has until May 4 to appeal the judge’s decision to the Board of Immigration Appeal.

Wait, what was that about incarceration?

Much of his testimony focused on his criminal history, primarily between 1980 and 1983, with Vedam describing himself at the time as “young and stupid.”

Vedam was convicted in 1983 of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Thomas Kinser. During the hearing, he denied shooting Kinser or anyone else, saying he had been smoking marijuana and drinking beer with Kinser and was shocked to later learn of his death.

That murder conviction was vacated last year. However, Vedam also acknowledged that in the early 1980s he sold LSD, charges to which he later pleaded no contest.

Murder, huh? But, he’s saying he’s supposed to be allowed to stay in the U.S. because he’s been in prison for 43 years instead of being repatriated to India. Seriously, multiple laws say he is to be deported after his jail stint. A judge can’t randomly change that law. He’s not an America. Judges like Judge Adam Panopoulos are unhinged and need to be yanked from the bench.

President of Wisconsin’s largest mosque detained by US immigration agents

The president of Wisconsin’s largest mosque was detained by federal immigration agents, drawing accusations from local officials and religious leaders that the arrest was motivated by his statements against Israel.

Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian-born legal permanent resident of the United States, was taken into custody by nearly a dozen US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Monday in Milwaukee after he left his home, according to the Islamic Society of Milwaukee.

Supporters called for his immediate release on Thursday and his attorneys said he was detained on the grounds that he is a foreign policy threat. His attorneys say the claims have no merit.

Instead, they believe Sarsour, 53, was targeted for speaking out against Israel and for a conviction as a minor by Israeli military courts, which have faced scrutiny over allegations of limited due process and high conviction rates of Palestinians. Israel rejects those claims. The offenses included allegedly throwing rocks at Israeli officers, according to attorney Munjed Ahmad.

Could it be that he’s a Jew hater and a supporter of a US designated terrorist organization, Hamas?

(Amy Meek) This isn’t some innocent “community leader.” Sarsour is a documented Hamas supporter with a rap sheet going back to the 1990s, one that U.S. authorities let slide while he built mosques, businesses, and a jihad fundraising machine right here on American soil.

This is the enemy within that patriots have been warning about for years: a Hamas financier who used green cards and furniture stores as cover to send cash to terrorists, then rebranded as a “Palestine advocate.”

Decades of Direct Hamas Ties:

Jailed 8 months in Israel in 1995 for supporting Hamas — where he buddyed up with Adel Awadallah, West Bank commander of Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

Named in 2001 FBI memos as a Hamas fundraiser tied to the Holy Land Foundation (biggest terror-financing conviction in U.S. history).

There’s more at the tweet. Hamas should not be in the U.S.
