UPDATE (Monday, October 6, 2025):

During this morning's bond hearing, Immigration Judge Abdias E. Tida denied bond, specifically noting that he did not have the authority to grant bond for Marwan Marouf. This means Marwan will be forced to continue to fight his immigration case from the Bluebonnet Detention Center, separated nearly 200 miles from his family and support system.

The Trump Administration’s abduction of Palestinian-American Muslim Marwan Marouf has shaken the local community in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Marwan is a beloved community leader with the Muslim American Society’s Dallas chapter, and has been a dedicated service leader in his community for three decades. He helped found Boy Scout Circle 10 District’s largest troop here in North Dallas, has actively promoted multiple drug awareness campaigns to educate youth about the dangers of drug use, volunteers regularly with the Red Cross, and is a Certified Disaster Relief First Responder.

Arresting and detaining Marwan for what appears to be political motivations immediately after the denial of his green card application on September 22, 2025, is an injustice, especially while his immigration case is still ongoing. ICE arrested Marwan after he dropped off his son at school on September 22nd. Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) has been engaged in a six-year effort and was representing Marwan during his green card/lawful permanent residency case.

This injustice is undoubtedly part of the U.S. government’s campaign of discrimination and targeting of our community. And it’s a fundamental violation of Marwan’s constitutional rights to due process.

We must call on our elected officials to secure the immediate release of Marwan. We must fight for the release of all members of the Muslim community — along with those in Black, brown, Latino and Asian communities — whose names we don’t know, who’ve been denied their constitutional rights and taken away by ICE and separated from their families. We must stop these ICE abductions in every community, in every part of the country.

TAKE ACTION: Send a message to your Members of Congress now, urging them to call for Marwan’s immediate release.
