U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the upcoming deportation of Marwan Marouf, 54, a Jordanian illegal alien who is the director of public relations and fundraising for the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Dallas-Fort Worth.
In September, RAIR announced that Marouf had been detained by ICE pending investigation.
RAIR notes, “The detention of Marwan Marouf — a top MAS Dallas leader and brother-in-law to the Elashi family at the center of the Holy Land Foundation terror-finance convictions — marks a rare but decisive federal strike against the Muslim Brotherhood’s entrenched network in Texas.”
Federal immigration authorities this week detained Marwan Marouf, a top official of the Muslim American Society (MAS) in Dallas, who AP reporting in 2002 described as a brother-in-law to Bayan Elashi, one of the Dallas businessmen later convicted in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing case. This arrest represents a significant win in the fight against militant Islamic influence in the United States — and a direct strike at the Hamas support networks that once made Dallas ground zero for Islamic financing.
According to immigration records, Marouf first entered the United States more than 30 years ago as an international student. He later married and raised a family in North Texas, and for over a decade, he pursued permanent legal residency through his employer. But those applications repeatedly stalled amid federal scrutiny of his charitable and organizational affiliations. On the very day of his detention, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services formally denied his green card petition — echoing prior findings that flagged his activities more than a decade earlier.
Dallas Express reports Marouf was charged with lack of a valid entry document, solicitation of funds for a Tier III undesignated terrorist organization, and “material support” of terrorism, according to his lawyers at Muslim Legal Fund of America.
An ICE spokeswoman noted Marouf is an “illegal alien from Jordan,” who entered America in Dallas on June 5, 2009. He had a non-immigrant visa at the time, allowing him to remain in the country until February 12, 2011.
“Marouf failed to depart the U.S. as agreed on the conditions of his admission,” she said. “He has been living in the U.S. illegally for over a decade.”

In 2008, the FBI ruled CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror-finance trial against the Holy Land Foundation and its former officials.
In recent years, CAIR has been a leading voice in censoring and banning conservative voices on social media.
In the months following Oct. 7, CAIR’s Executive Director Nihad Awad cheered the slaughter of 1,300 Jews in southern Israel by Hamas.
