The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Florida), the state’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organizations, today announced details of this weekend’s local events as part of the National Week of Action to demand the immediate and unconditional release of 16-year-old U.S. citizen Mohammed Ibrahim, who has been unjustly detained by Israeli authorities since February 2025.
Mohammed, a Florida native, was only 15 when he was violently seized by Israeli soldiers and has since endured more than eight months of inhumane imprisonment. During that time, he has been denied contact with his family and access to adequate food or medical care. Reports indicate that Mohammed has lost more than 25 percent of his body weight and contracted scabies due to unsanitary conditions and neglect.
The National Days of Action to Free Mohammed Ibrahim, running now through Saturday, Nov. 8, include vigils, rallies, online campaigns, phone banking, and letter-writing initiatives organized across the country. The effort will culminate in a National Day of Action on Saturday, Nov. 8, one day before Mohammed’s next court appearance in Israel. Rallies and local actions are planned throughout Florida — in Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, Melbourne, and South Florida — to #BringMohammedHome.
Confirmed Florida Events:
| Event | Venue | Date & Time |
| Bring Mohammed Home | Tampa City Hall | Nov. 8, 2025 – 5 p.m. |

CAIR and CAIR-Florida are urging the U.S. State Department, elected officials, faith leaders, and civil society organizations to speak out and pressure Israeli authorities to secure Mohammed’s release.
Throughout the week, participants are encouraged to:
- Post on social media using #FreeMohammedIbrahim and #BringMohammedHome, tagging members of Congress and the U.S. State Department.
- Call their representatives to demand urgent U.S. diplomatic intervention.
- Attend local vigils and rallies across Florida and nationwide to show solidarity.
- Join phone-banking or letter-writing events to keep Mohammed’s case visible.
Community leaders, veterans, health care professionals, educators, and faith-based organizations are encouraged to join this nationwide campaign to defend the rights and dignity of an American child.
