Palestinian deported by ICE from the US to Tel Aviv on a private jet

Описание: Maher Awad, a Palestinian who had been living in the US and was in the process of obtaining his green card, was arrested and deported by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) along with seven other Palestinians to Tel Aviv, where he was taken by Israeli police and later released near the town of Ni’lin in the occupied West Bank.

Awad and the other Palestinians were reportedly deported aboard a private jet owned by Israeli-American real estate developer and Donald Trump’s personal friend, Michael Dezer.

Awad’s wife was pregnant when he was arrested. She gave birth while he was being held by ICE. He has not yet met his son.
