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 didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

The protection of human life must be about much more than just the unborn. This story is about the threats to life from ICE. I'm from the part of the pro-life movement that works not only on abortion, but on war, the death penalty, assisted suicide, and violence by government agencies.
Unborn children die in ICE detention, too.

Full text of Charter of the "Board of Peace." This was originally a part of the so-called peace plan for Gaza, but the Charter makes no mention of that purpose or of Gaza. This has led to speculation that Trump is trying to start a rival to the United Nations.

The March for Life is just around the corner! Join us for our 2026 meetup!

(We're calling this the "Alt Prolifer" meetup because many in attendance break the "stereotypical" pro-lifer mold — they might be secular, consistent lifers, progressives, LGBT+ — but all are welcome!)

As a Palestinian Pastor, I Can’t Call This ‘Peace’ Plan Justice
What has happened in Gaza is a coercive peace where the powerful impose their will, dictate terms, and call it “stability.”

It is understandable why any Christian would want to help all mankind.

However, I'm confused about why a phony Christian like Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz would claim he wants to serve Israel.

Must be for the same reason he serves Trump: personal gain. Not exactly the teaching of Christ, is it!
