‘Wael’s last wish’: Man detained by ICE denied release for son’s funeral
Al Jazeera
Maher Tarabishi’s ailing son Wael died as he sat in a detention facility. His family says ICE is responsible.
The restrictions placed on Maher Tarabishi will haunt him long after his 30-year-old son, Wael, is laid to rest.
For decades, Maher, 62, had cared for his son as he struggled with a rare genetic condition called Pompe disease, which causes muscle weakness and severe respiratory problems.
The disease required round-the-clock care and dozens of surgeries, which Maher carefully attended to.
