Two teenage jihad mutant muslimahs arrested in NY for possibly planning splodey attack
2005-04-07
From FOX:

Two 16-year-old girls from New York City have been arrested on immigration charges after federal authorities said they planned to become suicide bombers, according to a published report.

The teenagers were arrested March 24 and were being held in a detention center in Leesport, Pa., The New York Times reported Thursday, citing a government document provided by a federal agent.

According to the document, the FBI found that the girls posed "an imminent threat to the security of the United States based upon evidence that they plan to be suicide bombers," the Times said.

The evidence was not described in the document.

Manny Van Pelt, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, would confirm only that two juveniles had been arrested on "administrative immigration violations" and remained in custody.

The girls — one from Bangladesh, one from Guinea — were living in the United States illegally, the Times reported.

Adam Carroll, a community activist with the Islamic Circle of North America, told the Times one of the girls had been arrested after she stopped attending public high school in September. Federal immigration agents investigated her home and discovered an essay about suicide and Islam on her computer, Carroll said.

#13  Did anyone else notice that fighting truancy seems to be more important to our legal system than fighting illegal immigration?

#10  "Immigration Detention Centers" are merely the nearest jail. Overstayers are mixed in with the general population of car thieves, assaulters, and drug dealers. It sucks, but no level of government sees it as a problem, and it won't be a problem until an illegal immigrant gets beaten to death by a real criminal.

Which is not to say that being an illegal isn't a crime, but other nations have seperate immigration detention facilities that reflect the fact that illegal aliens deserve a different standard of detention than violent criminals.

#8  Deny them any claims for asylum, just put them on a plane ASAP.

But not before administering an old-fashioned whacking on their asses with a hickory switch.

#5  sounds more to me like your basic f**ked up suicidal teens, a la Columbine and Red Lake, but expressing it the way youd expect a muslim would, rather than anything connected with terror groups. But you never know.

#4  Why waste time on a hearing. Either you came in legal and have documentation or you don't. It's an easy enough system to negotiate. Make your claims for asylum or whatever up front not after arrest. Post arrest b.s. should not be invited. Planes are too expensive. Let em ride a slow boat or the cheapest option. Bill the parents and perhaps pay the cost of arrest, detention and deportation via forfeiture of their assets. That would change the dynamics.

Send them and their families back home. No need for a trial beyond the immigration hearing. Deny them any claims for asylum, just put them on a plane ASAP.

#2  There's a "Detention Center" in Leesport Pennsylvania?! It's a county prison. Why hold suspected Jihaadis at a county prison????

#1  OK, it should be 'teenage mutant jihad muslimahs'.

Not sure I know how to square the "were living in the United States illegally" with "one of the girls had been arrested after she stopped attending public high school".
