All in Rasmea Odeh
Rasmea Odeh, a Palestinian icon, has been in solitary confinement for the past 12 days at the St. Clair County Jail in Port Huron, Michigan.
Judge Gershwin A. Drain’s courtroom was filled to capacity with anxious supporters as Rasmea Odeh, a Palestinian-American icon and community leader, was found guilty on one count of unlawful procurement of naturalization.
Odeh was accused of lying on her immigration forms in 2013 by failing to disclose a criminal conviction meted out by an Israeli military court in 1969. The original judge on the case proved to have Israeli ties and finally stepped down and allowed a less bias judge to be randomly appointed, the Electronic Intifada reported.
