Mohammed Yousuf Mullawala is the fellow who wanted to learn how to drive a truck, but not to back up.
"Judge orders deportation of driving student," by Tom Mooney in the Providence Journal, with thanks to Peg:
BOSTON — A federal judge yesterday ordered an Indian national whose behavior at a Smithfield trucking school spawned a nationwide antiterrorism investigation be deported.Mohammed Yousuf Mullawala la “is not the person who he claims to be,” said U.S. Immigration Judge Matthew J. D’Angelo, as a shackled Mullawala listened a few feet away at the court room’s defense table.
While Mullawala’s “ultimate intentions and motives have not yet been revealed in full,” the judge said, “this court reaches a finding that mirrors the grave concern expressed by the Joint Terrorism Task Force, The Rhode Island State Police and the Rhode Island Fusion Center” — which spearheads local homeland security matters....
[...]
He has been under investigation since Nov. 29, after an instructor at the Nationwide Tractor-Trailer Driving School became suspicious of him and contacted authorities. According to court papers, Mullawala’s lack of interest in learning how to back up a tractor-trailer, his request to buy software on hazardous materials and his queries on whether fingerprinting would be required for a commercial driver’s license raised concerns with the instructor.
Six days after the investigation began, Mullawala walked into the state police headquarters in Scituate to file a harassment complaint against a detective who called him on his cell phone. After questioning, he was taken into custody on a student visa violation.
During an immigration hearing last month Mullawala admitted he lied to the state police, as well as on applications for permanent residency, admission to colleges, driver’s licenses and the trucking school. But he denied being a criminal or a threat to anyone....
In his written decision, D’Angelo said he was unimpressed by Mullawala’s testimony.
“The respondent’s admission to submitting false information was by no means rehabilitated by his testimony.
“Rather than fully responding to questions posed to him, the respondent’s testimony was instead vague and evasive and attributed any discrepancies in his testimony or documentation to other individuals.”
The explanations that Mullawala did provide, D’Angelo wrote, “were implausible and appeared to be those of an individual struggling to fabricate a cover rather than of one who truly wishes to explain his or her actions.”
For example, said D’Angelo, when asked why he changed residences so frequently — 11 different places in four states since his arrival from India in 2002, and some in New York City where he stayed for only a month — Mullawala explained it was because he had “difficulty finding parking.”
“While it is admittedly difficult to find parking in New York and other major metropolitan areas, it seems highly unlikely that one would change residences on what appears to be an almost-monthly basis simply to secure better parking.”
D’Angelo said he also found “implausible” Mullawala’s explanation for why he withdrew from Johnson & Wales University, where he was majoring in computer science, and transferred to the University of Bridgeport. Mullawala said he transferred — even though Johnson & Wales offered him a “substantial” scholarship — because the Providence-based school didn’t offer computer engineering as a major.
Yet, the judge said, Mullawala described the two majors as “essentially the same.”
“Not only was the respondent’s testimony rife with vague, farfetched, evasive and implausible statements,” D’Angelo wrote, “but the written documentation he submitted to both [the Department of Homeland Security] and various state government agencies contained numerous inconsistencies and outright falsehoods.”
For example, in Mullawala’s application for the Nationwide Driving School, he indicated he had lived in Providence for five years and listed an individual named “Jahdish” as one of his character references.
Later Mullawala admitted the application was a lie, the judge said: “… at the time he submitted his application, he had not even resided in the United States for five years and [admitted] that Jahdish was a ‘fake character witness.’ ”
Mullawala’s deportation could ban him from reentering the country for at least 10 years.
Only ten years?
for those that do not know it, go out and google your posting name and google will pull up all of your postings................
have fun.......

He can claim he's a comedian. Maybe he can tell the authorities that the best 10 years of his life were spent in high school. I'm sure the Hindus in India are happy bunnies knowing this guy is on his way home.
Oh goody-he might be gone for ten whole years. So this means we'll be seeing him again around 2017 under a new name then?
We really need to find a way to jail these losers and make that jail sustain itself without tax money-simply deporting this scum won't get the job done. That's especially true regarding those "holy" ones who continue to preach their filth via the internet-their reach is global no matter what country they happen to be in (and are defiling by their mere presence).
BACK TO THE HOLE YOU CRAWLED OUT OF!
Alright! An immigration judge w/ some gonads! Rather than coming up w/ lame excuses and making nice w/ the little serpent, we are finally going to exile a suicide bomber BEFORE he has the pleasure of ramming a truck filled w/ c-4 and deisel fuel into the side of a synagogue or church. Nice job, in one pocket of our liberal nation the government is actually on our side. :)
Mohammed Yousuf Mullawala is a terrorist, so what kind of mentality does a Judge who is suppose to be protecting society simply deport him, so he can go back to terrorstan, tell the other terrorists what he learned, get a fake passport out of Cuba and be back next week hijacking a truck again.
There are laws on the books and this terrorist should be tried in a military court as an enemy combatant and if found guilty, executed.
You have the terrorist caught, so why turn him loose to attack again.
Kudos to the judge, but how long will this guy remain in the US while this decision is appealed?
How many more judges can we find who have his courage?
Unfortunately, this guy's clumsiness only feeds into the propaganda that people like him are merely unbalanced and no threat to anyone. Wait for CAIR to speak up loudly, complaining that this judge is anti-Muslim and that Americans are mistreating "peace-loving" Muslims who come here only wanting to earn a living.
Check out www.islamwatch.org
Amil Imani (a former Muslim) makes a great case for banning all Muslim immigration to the US. In his words:
"Islam is a highly communicable pandemic violent disease that demands urgent and serious containment."
Ban Muslim immigration... do not let them into the country to start with...
Islamisforlosers, do you really think he will honor the deportation rules if he was here on a student visa that was expired? Do you really, really believe that?

Not really. I was just thinking wishfully.
Yea muslim students..... what can i say they have nothing positive thing to say about america yet they know they are better off here than their country of origin. every "believing" muslim is a "package" of potential violence against non-muslim. in other words "good boy muslim" might actually be bad for infidels' health. SERIOUSLY!
This guy was intercepted due to his colossal stupidity and the rational suspicions of his instructor. But we cannot expect all or even most Jihadi to be so mindless. Perhaps there needs to be a full vetting of all foreign nationals trying to get a job near any type of chemicals or means of creating mass destruction or death.
Deportation only means he will try again with another identity. Full biometric information needs to be taken on deportees. Biometric screening must become mandatory for all foreign nationals entering and leaving this country. Without 100% screening, all other efforts don’t mean very much.
To all those who will complain that full vetting and biometric screening are discriminatory, it’s discriminatory to blow people up.
send this monster now back to Indai, and perhaps he will get a greeting from their police. something tells me those questions will be a little more pointed!
It is good to see someone actually doing the right thing....hope to see more of the same...Ban Muslim Immigration...deport the rest...
I don't need to know how to back up a truck. I moved one month later because parking was bad." Go figure. Not to many brain surgeons in india.
I'm sure the Hindus in India are happy bunnies knowing this guy is on his way home.

Maybe he can learn how to back in a rickshaw. if he makes it backe safely that is. i am hoping there'll be a few Sikhs waiting for this scum at the airport.. with their holy daggers.. must respect everyone's religion mustn't we? :-)
Of course there'll probably a ticket to Mexico City waiting for him at the airport - courtesy of some "chic" in SOWdiarabia. Once in Mexico he;s home free.
Oh George!
"Mullawala’s deportation could ban him from
reentering the country for at least 10 years."
Well that would be true if the borders were secure...not like we don't have MILLIONS of illegal aliens in the country with numerous OTM (other than mexicans) having been released and never showing up again for court dates!
Why has the judge ordered deportation?
Mullawalla should be dropped down an elevator shaft.
The sad thing is that all the people like Mullawalla in the USA are now going to go to much greater lengths of disceit and covering their tracks. Mullawalla should have made sure he did backing lessons - purely to not arouse the instructors suspicions.
The FBI and law-enforcement agencies in the States should rigourously cross-check every single item for foreigners in the States: bank accounts, journeys, unusual items ordered, anything to do with transportation or chemicals or food or water, phone calls, irregular financial transactions, courses missed, internet use, mosques attended, temporary work. Anything that does not tally with their profile should be checked. Everything should add up to "innocence".
We should implant a homing device in his spleen and keep track of him.
Then, if he gets close to one of our borders, we can send a small rocket to make contact . . .
Yeah, I agree, deportation just means he'll try to harm our boys over there. I think with a mind like he has, he should be under supervision in a maximum security prison, like Club Gitmo !
Dear Lord! What has India done to deserve such scum?
On second thoughts, never mind. When Mohammed is back in India, he will get special consideration. The Prime Minister of India has recently said that the Muslims in India have first claim to resources. He is even considering Islamic banking which will follow the Sharia. Not just that, regular banks have to ear mark 15% of their lending to Muslims. Remember that India is a "secular" country -- which essentially translates to the state doing everything to mollycoddle the Muslims because they vote as a block, while the non-Muslims vote all over the place. So every political party is trying to out do each other in giving goodies to Muslims.
In a sense, I don't feel pity for India, only contempt for having no sense and rushing headlong to self destruction. It is not just that Islam wishes to destroy the kuffars, the kuffars are hell bent on commiting suicide. Karma, neh?
