 to failing to tell US immigration officials about her conviction in a deadly bombing in Israel in 1969, her attorney said Saturday.

A court hearing is scheduled Wednesday for Rasmieh Yusef Odeh, associate director at the Arab American Action Network in Chicago.

"We are engaging in serious negotiations, which could lead to a guilty plea," defense lawyer William Swor told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. "If she enters a guilty plea, she will likely have to leave the country."
The Times of Israel adds all sorts of interesting details:

Odeh was convicted of an attack that killed two people at a Jerusalem market in 1969. An Israeli military court sentenced her to life in prison in 1970, but she was released 10 years later in a prisoner swap with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine
... Paleostinian Marxist movement, founded in 1967. It is considered a terrorist organization by more than 30 countries including the U.S., European Union, Australia, Canada, and Antarctica.

. Hatem Abudayyeh, head of the Arab American Action Network, called her an “icon” in the community after her arrest last year. She’s been free on bail.
If you think they didn't know exactly who she is, what she's done, and celebrate her for it, you haven't been paying attention.
In 2013, Odeh received the Outstanding Community Leader award from the Chicago Cultural Alliance, a coalition of ethnic museums and cultural centers in the Chicago area.

#7  I'm surprised she is not up for the Nobel Peace Prize. Isn't that what they give to community organizers and rabble rousers who stir up trouble?

#5  Given that the administration would knife Israel in the back if it could get away with it without losing the next election, this is truly amusing.

What do you call the "Peace Process" or "negotiations with Iran"?

#4  It was simply a regime business decision. She's nearly 70 years of age and will undoubtedly soon be requiring expensive gov't proviced medical and elderly care. Under the Tour Bus please.

#1  Not certain how her deportation squares with Champ's recent release of 30,000 convicted thieves, rapists, murderers. Has Rasmieh Yusef Odeh somehow managed to vote for a republican in Chicago ?
