In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.

They refused to wear masks. Refused to get vaccinated. Said it was “tyranny”.
In 2026 they’re urging “complete compliance” with unidentified masked men who are shooting people in the streets.
