US appeals NJ Muslim cleric immigration case

In a case that could erode hard-worn trust between Muslims and law enforcement, the government is appealing the case of a Muslim leader who won his fight to remain in the United States.

• "We hoped they wouldn't pursue this case, as a gesture of good will, and because of the important need to reconnect with our community and build trust again," said Aref Assaf, a member if the group Americans 4 Qatanani, which supported his immigration fight. "It seems that there has been a political decision at a higher level to pursue this case, and they continue to persecute — not just prosecute — our community and our leader."
