Attorneys for the president of Wisconsin’s largest mosque urge U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to release him, alleging he has been denied appropriate medical care for diabetes while in ICE custody. The Independent reports that lawyers say the man has lost about 30 pounds since he was taken into custody roughly two months ago. They argue that access to basic medical treatment is not being provided.
The Winnipeg Free Press presents the same core claim, stating that attorneys seek his release on the grounds that he has been denied diabetes care during his detention by ICE. Both outlets frame the dispute around medical needs and the conditions of confinement, rather than the merits of any immigration allegations.
As of these reports, the articles describe the attorneys’ assertions but do not provide details on ICE’s response or independent medical findings. The situation centers on whether the detainee is receiving necessary treatment for diabetes and whether continued detention is appropriate while his health is reportedly deteriorating.
