Supreme court case info

Ahmed Ali

This case was settled seven years after the fact. The case is about a refuge that’s locked up because of a battery charge he had. It was announced that he had a mental disorder. This basically meant he had mental problems. He was trying to make a life for himself and people in society were knocking him down due to his religion. He had a rough life growing up in Somalia with his family because of the wars in his country. Ahmed seen unforeseeable things that he couldn’t even speak about. Ahmed was seeking medication and doing his time in jail for his battery charge in Wisconsin and trying to get out of jail and just be an American citizen. This was hard to do because he was moved to the immigrant detention where he was deported where he was held there for 3 years. The government was not abiding by the law they had Ahmed Ali in a non suitable living situation. They wouldn’t review the detention and it took more than five years for his case to be carefully reviewed. They found that the government was violating the international law and his detention was arbitrary. The government didn’t even pay attention to his rights for they didn’t seem to consider him worthy of that. Religion should not be who a person is it should be what they a person believes. They have the right to feel that we all have rights and we can make our own decisions and we all have freedom of speech even if you’re from another country. Ahmed Ali was just trying to be somebody that could possibly makeup for the misfortunes he had in the past. The conclusion id you shouldn’t judge a book by the cover especially when it’s religion.
