Palestinian deported after Florida Jihad trial

2006-05-25

TAMPA, Florida (Reuters) - A co-defendant who was acquitted of all charges in the Florida terrorism trial of ex-college professor Sami al-Arian has been deported to the Palestinian territories, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.

Federal agents took Sameeh Hammoudeh from a prison near Tampa on Monday and escorted him to Ramallah in the West Bank. He had agreed to be deported after pleading guilty to a separate tax fraud charge. Hammoudeh's wife and six children were taken to Ramallah in February. "The order of deportation has been carried out. Sameeh Hammoudeh is in Palestinian territory," said Barbara Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

So long, loser, enjoy your stay in Ramallah. Say 'hi' to the IDF for us.

#10 When starts the fifth column attacks? "He was acquitted of terrorism, so let him stay."

#8 I like the idea of tossing Sami out the cargo door over gaza. With any luck he will land head first into the Arafish memorial/car wash/falaful stand. I still remember his interview with OReilly, it was ominous that he was a teacher but he is main stream in their world now.

#7 Besoeker, a warning: no more of the racist crap or insinuations. It simply won't be tolerated here. AoS.

#6 A spokeswoman for Immigration & Customs Enforcement works for DHS. And yes, she needs to be a U.S. citizen (by jus solis, jus sangre or naturalization).

#5 Sheesh! The story's got nothing to do with race. Back on point guys, please?

#4 My niece marred an Hispanic whose surname is Gonzalez. His family has lived in Colorado for 200 years - even before the territory became a part of the US. Let's not get too engrosed with Hispanic surnames.

#3 Ramallah is too good for al-Arian. Should have kicked him out of the airplane over Gaza.

#2 Not so, (Your prejudice is showing) She has to be either a native American, or descendent of Americans to get a job at State,

Just for argument, what about all the residents who were already living in what is now Texas, Arizona, California, New Nexico (Etc) when they becane States?
Did you think they all changed their names to Anglo ones?

Herein lies at least one of the potential problems.
