FILE - In this Feb. 16, 2004 file photo, Abdelhaleem Ashqar, left, with his wife Asma, right, meets reporters at the National Press Club in Washington, to announce his presidential candidacy for the Palestinian National Authority. Ashquar who says he fears torture at the hands of Israeli authorities, is back in the U.S. after a judge's order forced immigration authorities to reverse his deportation and bring him back from Israel before he ever got off the plane. According to court papers and interviews, U.S. authorities arrested and deported Ashqar Tuesday, June 4, 2019 after misleading him about his need to report to an immigration office to process paperwork.
