ICNA Council for Social Justice Welcomes Release of Palestinian Activist Leqaa Kordia

The ICNA Council for Social Justice welcomes the release of Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after more than a year in detention related to her participation in Gaza-related campus protests.

ICNA CSJ appreciates the efforts of civil rights advocates, legal teams, community leaders, and elected officials who raised concerns about her prolonged detention and called for due process and fairness. Their advocacy highlights the importance of protecting constitutional rights, including freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest.

Prolonged detention connected to political expression raises serious civil liberties concerns. Immigration enforcement must not be used in ways that discourage lawful dissent or penalize individuals for exercising their First Amendment rights.

ICNACSJ is encouraged that Ms. Kordia can now reunite with her family while continuing to pursue her legal case. We remain committed to defending civil liberties, protecting immigrant communities, and promoting justice for all.

Charles “Sonny” Burton is facing ex*****on in Alabama for a 1991 robbery even though he did not pull the trigger and the person who did received a lesser sentence.
Now in his 70s and in poor health, Burton has spent 35 years in prison mentoring others and serving as a Muslim faith leader. Members of the original jury and even the victim’s daughter have questioned whether this ex*****on serves justice.
Governor Ivey has the power to grant clemency.
📧 Send an email now urging the Governor to commute Sonny Burton’s sentence to life in prison.
