A deportation case against Salas Arsour could decide whether the Islamic Society of Milwaukee President can remain in the country after more than three decades here.
There was a hearing yesterday.

Sarsur denies wrongdoing and says he's being singled out because of his support for Palestinian rights.
The judge has not ruled the hearing will pick back up next week.
Milwaukee County is putting more opioid settlement money into treatment and prevention programs.
County Executive David Crawley has announced the next round of better ways to cope grants.
The county says they've received $111 million over 18 years from national opioid settlements.
They've used that money for harm reduction supplies, treatment access and data tracking.
The new funding will go to local groups working on addiction and mental health support across the county.
Crawley, who is also again running for governor after dropping out earlier, said the money is already helping more people get care.

A Milwaukee sanitation worker was injured when an oxygen tank improperly disposed of exploded in a garbage truck.

Marty Brooks says his firing from the Wisconsin Center District was driven by politics, not performance.
He told the board yesterday that some members had conflicts of interest and that his removal was tied to a vendetta from Milwaukee officials and business leaders.
Brooks said the board used an investigation to justify a decision it had already made.
Board members reject the argument and say Brooks broke district rules and campaign finance laws.

Medicine police say a man in his 30s was shot and killed during an arrest yesterday, and the incident quickly sparked protests across the city.
Officers say the man ran from them, fought with officers in the street, and pulled a knife, leading one officer to open fire after a taser failed.
That officer was hurt during the struggle and all officers involved are now on administrative leave.
The police chief says it's too early to say if the force used was excessive.
Protesters later took over a downtown concert stage calling for accountability as outside investigators take over the case.
After a brief spark of life in a decades-old cold case, Fond du Lac County Sheriff's deputies say searchers found no human remains after hours of digging at the former home of Bobby Joe Fritz.
Bobby Joe was five years old when he disappeared from his Campbell Sport home in 1983.
Authorities say an initial search of that home's basement last week uncovered potential evidence, prompting a full-scale excavation earlier this week.
The Vandalat County Sheriff says a large team of investigators, including crime lab personnel and a forensic anthropologist, sifted through about 30,000 pounds of soil.
The Sheriff says they didn't find any human remains, but they did collect potential new evidence that could generate fresh leads and help bring answers to this 43-year-old.

42-year-old Kiri Elkin had been shot multiple times with her body discovered by her estranged husband and a friend in April of 2021.
Elkin's boyfriend, Manly McDermott, has now been found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide.
He'll be sentenced at a later date.
A Chano area man was killed yesterday when his motorcycle crashed with a FedEx delivery truck in the town of Westcott.
Chano County Sheriff's deputies say the 39-year-old man crossed into an oncoming lane of traffic hitting the FedEx truck head-on.
The motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say the driver of the FedEx truck is a 25-year-old Green Bay area man.
Deputies say no other details, including the names of those involved, will be released at this time as it remains an active investigation.
A police shooting in Madison left a man dead and led to protests that moved from the scene to the city's main square last night.
Police say the man tried to get away, then fought with officers and pulled a knife injuring one officer before being shot.
Only one of the four officers fired a weapon and officials have not released the man's name.
The state justice department is now investigating and the district attorney will decide if charges are warranted.
Madison police don't have body cameras.
There's a new twist in the sickening salad parasite story.
Civic Media's Melissa Kay has more on the cyclosporiasis outbreak.
Over the weekend, the FDA issued a positive test result for shredded lettuce from Taylor Farms in central Mexico.
The FDA retracted their statement on July 19th, saying the test result was a false positive.
Assertions have popped up on social media, claiming this change is because of Taylor Farms' political donations.
According to a Snoop's article published on July 21, their parent company, Taylor Fresh Foods, has made 12 separate large donations to Republican PACs since 2020, including a $1 million donation to MAGA Inc., a Trump-aligned PAC, in March of last year.
Records show that while owner Bruce Taylor is a Republican donor, there's no evidence he personally donated to Trump.
Taylor Farms is continuing their voluntary recall, and the FDA states the outbreak investigation is ongoing.
