ICE is Waging Trump’s War on Disabled Communities

On Friday, January 23rd, Wael Tarabishi, a 30-year-old Texas man with Pompe disease, died after his father and primary caregiver, Maher Tarabishi, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in October. Pompe disease is a rare chronic muscular condition that requires breathing support and daily care. After his father Maher Tarabishi was detained, following a routine immigration appointment in October, Wael's health rapidly declined and led to his death in the hospital this month.
