Supporters mobilize on eve of Rasmea Odeh's sentencing
Supporters are mobilizing for Rasmea Odeh on the eve of the Palestinian American community leader’s sentencing.
Odeh, who lives in Chicago, will appear before US District Judge Gershwin Drain in Detroit on Thursday morning to learn her fate.
Odeh is expected to make a statement before the judge and her lawyers hope she will be spared any further jail time for her conviction on immigration fraud charges.
US prosecutors have asked the judge to impose an exceptionally harsh sentence of between five and seven years in prison, to be followed by deportation.
