In a win for immigrant justice, Egyptian American hospital chaplain and Muslim cleric Ayman Soliman was released from detention last month. Accused of “material support for terrorism,” Soliman spent over two months in detention, fighting a case riddled by inconsistencies and outright fabrication on the part of the Department of Homeland Security.

While Soliman’s release is an important win, the expansion of “material support” and “terrorism” charges is a dangerous weapon in DHS’s enhanced war. These allegations can and have been easily weaponized against citizens and non-citizens alike, Muslims in particular.

Action item: learn about the Muslim youth-led human rights organization Yusra and support their work.
