Case stalled months after an aborted deportation to Israel

Abdelhaleem Ashqar sits in his Springfield, Va., home, Thursday, Sept. 12, 2019, discussing his deportation case. The U.S. government tried to deport him via Israel earlier this year, but a judge’s order forced the U.S. to reverse course on a Tel Aviv tarmac and bring the Palestinian activist back to Virginia while his case gets sorted out.
