The Trump Administration’s Latest Attacks on Muslim Community Leaders
After months in detention, we finally received the good news that Ohio chaplain Ayman Soliman was released from jail as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) dropped his deportation case. Soliman was an interfaith chaplain at a children’s hospital and a longtime leader of the Ohio Muslim community with deep ties to interfaith work across the state. As ProPublica reported, Soliman’s asylum status was restored and his application for a green card was revived. This news came through the dedicated hard work and advocacy of many organizations, particularly CAIR-Ohio and his colleagues at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, who were fired for speaking out on his behalf.
Interfaith Alliance Condemns Political Violence and Defends the First Amendment
Last week, Interfaith Alliance signed two important letters demonstrating our commitment to opposing all political violence and supporting free speech. In the wake of the unacceptable murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the Trump administration has announced a crackdown on progressive nonprofits and philanthropic institutions. To protect movements working across diverse issue areas and communities, we reiterate our commitment to working nonviolently and supporting the First Amendment right of organizations to speak out and advocate for the civil rights of all communities.
