In this segment of the interview, Muslim Legal Fund of America Legal Director Marium S. Uddin walks listeners step by step through the turning point in Marwan Maruf’s case: the moment his second green card application was denied, his sudden roadside detention by ICE, and the rapid escalation of charges that followed. She explains how an initial allegation that he had overstayed his visa was replaced within weeks by a more serious claim that he reentered the United States without valid documents, and how an added “material support for terrorism” charge and recent internal policy shifts left the immigration judge saying his “hands are tied” on bond. The clip ends with Uddin recounting how, after a final hearing on November 20, the judge sustained the terrorism allegations, ruled Maruf ineligible for any relief, and ordered him removed to Jordan.
