Overview

• The Muslim Legal Fund of America says ICE detained Marwan Marouf on September 22 after he dropped his son at school.
• His attorneys say ICE officers handed him a USCIS denial dated that same day and argue the decision relied on recycled reasoning from more than a decade ago.
• The ICE Detainee Locator System lists Marouf at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility in Anson, Texas, roughly three hours from Dallas.
• MLFA says it will challenge both the denial and the detention in immigration court and federal court.
• Community groups including MAS and CAIR have voiced concern, while DHS officials defend stepped-up enforcement under President Trump’s directives.
