Marks\u2014</span></p>
<p>Marwan Marouf, a leader in the Muslim community in Dallas for
the last 30 years, dropped his son off at school. Then, ICE
arrested him.<sup>1</sup></p>
<p>Despite Marwan\u2019s deep, decades-long ties to his local
communities, his commitment to community service, and his
ongoing immigration case, the Trump administration abducted him.
<strong>It\u2019s an outrage.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is undoubtedly part of the U.S. government\u2019s
campaign of discrimination and persecution targeting our
community for our faith and our beliefs.</strong></p>
<p>We are working with the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA),
which has represented Marwan for six years in his case for
lawful permanent residence, in an urgent push to secure Marwan\u2019s
release. <strong>We need your help to pressure Texas lawmakers
to immediately release Marwan from ICE detention and protect
members of the Muslim community from ICE.</strong></p>

<p>During his three decades in the U.S., Marwan has been a
dedicated community leader. He helped found Boy Scout Circle 10
District\u2019s largest troop in North Dallas, actively promoted
multiple drug awareness campaigns for youth, volunteers
regularly with the Red Cross, and is a Certified Disaster Relief
First Responder.<sup>2</sup> This is who ICE has ripped away
from his family and his community.</p>
<p><strong>We must fight for the release of Marwan.</strong> We
must fight for the release of all members of the Muslim
community \u2014 along with those in Black, brown, and Asian
communities \u2014 whose names we don\u2019t know, who\u2019ve been denied
their constitutional rights and taken away by ICE. <strong>We
must stop these ICE abductions in every community, in every
part of the country.</strong></p>
<p>Marwan\u2019s case, like so many of ICE\u2019s arrests, is devoid of
fairness, justice, and the constitutional protections that apply
to everyone in this country.</p>
<p>We are committed to working alongside MLFA, local leaders, and
the local community to fight for Marwan\u2019s release and the safety
of Muslims in America.</p>
