North Texas Muslim leader Marwan Marouf — longtime PR and fundraising director for the Muslim American Society (MAS) in Dallas — will be deported after an immigration judge cited evidence tying him to Hamas-linked activity.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Marouf overstayed his visa and was denied legal residency because of involvement with a foundation that “provided material support for Hamas.” Judge Abdias Tida also cited Marouf’s donations to the Holy Land Foundation, the Hamas fundraising arm that was shut down after 9/11, and ruled that the “gravity of the evidence” made him ineligible for voluntary departure.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded by noting this case as “another example of CAIR Texas’s support for Hamas and terror,” consistent with his recent designation of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. CAIR, as usual, denied everything and claimed victimhood, filing a lawsuit and insisting that criticism of CAIR amounts to bigotry.
Marouf’s lawyers declined to appeal; he will be deported to Jordan within two weeks.
Once again, CAIR is defending someone tied to Hamas-linked organizations — and once again, media outlets quoting CAIR never mention its own documented record, including the FBI’s cutting of ties with CAIR in 2008 over the same concerns.
“Dallas Muslim leader will be deported, judge cites allegations he supported terrorism,” bKERA, November 20, 2025:
North Texas Muslim community leader Marwan Marouf will be removed from the U.S. after an immigration judge on Thursday denied his request for voluntary departure.
In denying his request, Judge Abdias E. Tida cited donations Marouf made to the Holy Land Foundation, a nonprofit in the U.S. that was designated a terrorist organization by DHS following the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.
The request for voluntary departure comes as attorneys for Marouf say he is facing immediate health risks….
Marouf, a longtime public relations and fundraising director for the Muslim-American Society in Dallas, has been in ICE custody since September.
He was initially charged with overstaying his visa. But in recent weeks, the Department of Homeland Security charged Marouf with soliciting funds for a terrorist organization.
During Thursday’s hearing, attorneys for Marouf asked Judge Abdias E. Tida to allow him to receive post-conclusion voluntary departure instead of a standard removal order.
This would have allowed Marouf to remain in the U.S. up to 60 days following his release from custody and reapply for lawful entry back into the U.S. from Jordan, where he maintains citizenship. Attorneys say it would also allow for Marouf to address his cardiac condition Brugada syndrome sooner.
But Tida did not grant Marouf voluntary departure, finding Marouf both ineligible under federal law and that he did not merit of such relief as a matter of discretion….

Islam and its Muslims form and support Criminal, Terrorist Enterprises against Non-Muslims to help gain ultimate power and control using deceit, discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 3:54; 9:5, 29, 111; 98:6-7, etc.). This is the true face of Islam, discrimination and terrorism.
Islam, Allah’s hellacious ideology, in Qur’an 8:39 commands Muslims to fight Non-Muslims until Non-Muslims surrender to Muslim rule and become Muslims when Allah says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”
Demonic Allah in Qur’an 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Allah commands Muslims to conquer and subjugate every territory for Islam using every tool available with their MONEY and with their LIVES wielding the power of the Government or the State. Hence, Islam and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Westerners via Governments, Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Qur’an 8:60; 9:5,29, 111; 47:4; 49:15; 65:4 etc.).
Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day when Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 60:4.
Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence. Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Muslims are supremacist terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and with their LIVES while undermining a society from within using the man-made book of lies and deceit, the Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”
MUSLIM BELIEVERS are a greater TERROR than Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims.

The terror-supporter should have been sent when the trial was complete and some of the muzzies sent to prison for their support of hamas.
More would have been done….as in a trial of cair members…had bo not stepped in to put an end to the justice being applied to muzzie terrorists.
Jordan is probably too *nice*…..send him to some horrible place where he can help the “community.”
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I think since he has Jordanian citizenship, that’s where they are sending him. They can’t just send him anywhere
Also, Jordan has been slowly becoming more anti-Israel, just like Egypt has. He won’t be tilting them to be more hostile than they already are
JS says
All Islamic nations are hostile to Israel, and always have been.
Subscribe to MEMRI .org and see what they say about all of us. They are liars and very crafty and sneaky. Never turn your back, because they’ll stab you.
somehistory says
They are sending other illegals to nations where they are not citizens.
Since he was not allowed to self-deport, they should do with him as they do with the other illegals who commit crimes.
Northern Virginiastan says
He looks like Zelenskyy!
Huapakechi says
Could we also deport those screaming that he must be allowed to stay in spite of the deportation order?
OLD GUY says
The Government should take a good look at all islamic leaders who support and promote terrorist and threaten American citizens.
Winston 101 says
Deport! Deport! Deport!
And then I’m rooting for his “health risks”.
He’s a ☪️cancerous tumor on the body politic
of America. Excise him.

Finally a judge who follows the law and not emotions!
