I know the story is long; oh, I know. But please take the time to read the story of one refugee's experience in the United States of now. And please notice how the imagery of @brendanbannon memorably evokes his city of Buffalo.

New today: @ArseneauKelli and I dug into DHS' list of the "worst of the worst" Wisconsin detainees.
The majority were already serving prison time, often for convictions handed down before Trump's second term.

Before he was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accused of "funding terror organizations," a local Muslim leader was accused of similar offenses by a controversial website that purports to expose people it considers anti-Israel.

@joelfrier Joel, my headline is factually accurate and quite straightforward. The Islamic Society of Milwaukee president was detained by ICE. He is a pro-Palestinian activist.

I was among the news reporters speaking directly to the ISM director and Sarsour's attorney, contacting DHS, and reporting from the 600-person ISM rally. There, I asked more clarifying questions one-on-one and wrote the story from the mosque parking lot.

Federal immigration officials & Dodge County sheriff deny they held a U.S. citizen woman for 30 hours at O'Hare then released her onto the street in Wisconsin, despite her family providing evidence of her apparent location inside those detention centers.

DHS & Dodge County sheriff say Sunny Naqvi, 28, wasn't held for 30 hours at O'Hare, wasn't taken to Broadview & wasn't taken to Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin. But her friends & family dispute that with screenshots showing her location in all these places.

This tweet calling for "all mosques in America" to be closed was retweeted by Wisconsin Rep. Calvin Callahan, R-Tomahawk. See screenshot below:

All Mosques in America need to be closed down. They are nothing more than forward operating bases for jihad.

While it's well-established that as many as 3,000 Department of Homeland Security agents were roving the Twin Cities metro area at one point, advocates say it's less known that those agents have increasingly fanned out into western Wisconsin, too.
