The Department of Homeland Security’s arrest of 65 year-old American-Palestinian community activist Rasmea Yousef Odeh at her home in the Chicago suburbs last week was an outright act of political repression. Federal authorities, along with Israel and its supporters in the US, are continuing to search for ways to intimidate and silence those who are effective advocates for Arab American communities, and who speak out for Palestinian rights. If convicted, Rasmea faces up to 10 years in prison, being stripped of her U.S. citizenship, and probable deportation. We cannot allow this to happen! USPCN calls on all people of conscience everywhere to support Rasmea and all Palestinians in our fight against these charges. Call Barbara McQuade, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, at 313.226.9501 or 313.226.9100, or email [email protected], to demand that she Drop the Charges Now!
