Trump wants tighter security on northern border after Edmonton jihadi evaded deportation by fleeing to Canada

Oct 11, 2017 10:51 am By Robert Spencer

“Mr. Sharif was arrested in San Diego in July of 2011 and ordered deported to Somalia by a judge later that year. He was then released, failed to report for his deportation and could not be located by U.S. authorities after January, 2012. U.S. authorities have said that Mr. Sharif had no known criminal history at the time. Mr. Sharif subsequently arrived in Canada and received refugee status. He now stands accused of stabbing a police officer outside a football game at Commonwealth Stadium on Sept. 30 and running down pedestrians in a truck during a later chase.”

And anyone who may have supported his deportation at the time would have been denounced as a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”

“Trump administration cites Edmonton attack in call for immigration changes,” by Adrian Morrow, Globe and Mail, October 8, 2017:

The Trump administration wants to change the immigration rules that allowed a man accused of perpetrating a terrorist attack in Edmonton last month to evade a U.S. deportation order years ago and come to Canada.

The White House also wants to tighten security along the U.S. border with Canada as part of a plan to toughen immigration controls across the country.

One administration official cited the case of Abdulahi Hasan Sharif, 30, Sunday evening as President Donald Trump sent Congress a set of border-security and immigration changes he wants passed.

Mr. Sharif was arrested in San Diego in July of 2011 and ordered deported to Somalia by a judge later that year. He was then released, failed to report for his deportation and could not be located by U.S. authorities after January, 2012. U.S. authorities have said that Mr. Sharif had no known criminal history at the time.

Mr. Sharif subsequently arrived in Canada and received refugee status. He now stands accused of stabbing a police officer outside a football game at Commonwealth Stadium on Sept. 30 and running down pedestrians in a truck during a later chase.

The administration official said Sunday that Mr. Sharif was released in 2011 because authorities were having trouble deporting him, as Somalia at the time was not repatriating its citizens. The official said the administration wants to “address” this problem.

In his message to Congress, Mr. Trump called for new rules that would “end the practice of catch-and-release” and give Immigration and Customs Enforcement more power to keep prospective deportees in custody until they are removed from the country. Part of the problem, the President wrote, was a 2001 Supreme Court decision that prevents authorities from detaining people for more than 180 days if there is no imminent prospect for their deportation….

    Why on earth are deportees being released into the population, when we know they present an increased risk? They should be notified in person and immediately removed. If they need to collect their belongings then send a security guard to do so.

    Countries refuse to accept them- tough!

      Yes, their home countries won’t repatriate them?
      Well then why the hell are WE obligated to ‘patriate’ them?

      • tom parry says

        Oct 12, 2017 at 4:21 pm

        Thisis the huge problem for europe and usa. Of course their countries do not want them back!!
        the only solution is not too let them in. Bit too late this advice, the cow is out of the barn- no need to shut the door.

    Edmonton is a less likely place to find evading jihadis than Toronto.

    Does anyone think the trail of Mosques from Dearborn through Ontario’s Chatham-Kent, London, Hamilton, and Oakville, to Toronto, is some unfathomable coincidence? And who thinks the Muslims on each side of that border consider themselves patriotic nationalists first and muslims, second – or even respect the border as anything but a nuisance?

    Perhaps, someday it will be dubbed, “The Jihadi Underground Railroad”.

    Immigration reform? We can make a start by keeping Justin Trudeau out of the country.

    • Skeptic Sam says

      Excellent idea.

    The first step has to do with how we deal with deportation orders here. Ordered deported? Put in shackles and place in detention. Put on next flight that will take person to country deported back. If said country refuses to take deportees: no money or support of any kind, zero. Deportee can file for a new hearing or appeal from home country or last country he/she came from.

    If that does not work, send back to country they entered from. If the person had no documentation and was allowed on plane, send airline the bill and send deportee back to where plane took off. Otherwise, take deportee in shackles to nearest embassy of that person and deposit there since that is considered home country turf. Arrest if he/she leaves embassy except to leave US.

      Very good idea…. stuff the embassy or consulate…

    The Lib-jihad Sharia Party of Canada is making all Canadians pay for the jihad against them and he will create a law that will PENALIZE THEM for daring to speak out against their ENSLAVEMENT UNDER ISLAM.

    M103 is a form of JIHAD, Canucks. M103 is a war on your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

    At one time, liaison between U.S. and Canadian law enforcement operated in unison to keep crime from crossing the border. But, we should know better than to expect the cooperative policy to continue, when PM Trudeau has an EU state of mind which respects no national sovereignty.
    If we do not know better yet, it had better happen very soon. Trump is not like Trudeau, Trudeau is a “one world” puppet who is compromising Canada. Canadians are being patient with Trudeau, yet he will maneuver Canada so as to reshape it in the images of France or Germany.

    Though at this point this is all just talk, this idea is heavily applauded, but long overdue.

    We now have to figure out how to protect ourselves from returning IS fighters and unvetted ‘refugees’ and asylum seekers coming from Canada, thanks to Justin’s treasonous virtue-signaling and boisterous grandstanding.

    The best part: “He was then released, failed to report for his deportation and could not be located by U.S. authorities”
    Well, uh… Ya don’t think he would fail to report for his deportation on purpose, do ya? Why would he do a thing like that?

    I would like to see what he supposedly sent to Congress;

    If Trump is serious, why doesn’t he just pinch off the vile, treasonous ‘Refugee’ Resettlement industry in the US altogether? His useless travel bans are just posturing; red meat for the ever-increasing component of what he takes for granted as his ‘base’. The language allows for ‘family members’ who can prove a connection (What kind of family members? Immediate? extended? tribal? Can you imagine the potential for fraud, here? Trump has just created a virtual cottage industry for traffickers, smugglers and document forgers worldwide with this nonsense.)
    Instead, Trump approved the 45,000 refugee number for this next year, accepted the Australian boat rejects, and put the Somali woman as the US youth representative to the UN.
    Talk+ Action = 0

    I, for one, am not buying Trump’s bulls**t anymore.

    STOP THE HIJRAH

    END REFUJIHAD

    Oh great, don’t tell me we’ll need visas now to go to the States. If anything, it’s Canada that needs to tighten its borders with the US not the other way around.

    • robeaver says

      Oct 12, 2017 at 8:49 pm

      Yes. The US can keep their terrorists.

        Oct 13, 2017 at 11:11 am

        Hey… they don’t want to be here… and you guys love them so…. is natural that they want to be on your side of the border….

    By all means, let them flee!
    Just don’t let them come back.

  10. Todd Bensman says

    The administration has missed the mark. The issue is not that we couldn’t deport this Somali, but that he smuggled in to the Mexico-California border and got in with a bogus asylum claim. It’s the smugging over porous borders that matters here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/alleged-isis-sympathizing-attacker-canada-originally-crossed-bensman/

    ………………..

    So sad–this was never necessary before the influx of Muslims.

    I cannot believe how slow we are as Americans, as police, as border patrol …as any group obliged to deport anybody. Not only slow, but actually not considering our resources for deportation.

    Here is what must be done as I see it, plain and simple:

    As soon as the edict comes down to deport someone, a ticket to country of origin must be issued to the escorts of the deportee for the deportee. Then, if the country of origin refuses to accept the deportee get a special branch of the armed forces to put the deportee into parachute rigging or on a landing craft, eject him out of the plane or land him on the surface of the deportee’s country. No FanFare. All done in silence.

    Leave him there with a small bottle of water and a bologna sandwich. Nothing more. Let the deportee figure it out.

    Be done with it.

    I am so fed up with this protection of the “poor Mooslom”.

    • Carolyne says

      Oct 12, 2017 at 9:28 am

      Forget the bologna sandwich. A juicy pork chop would be more appropriate.

    Of course Mr Turd will host him in his house as a VVIP..

    I’m still for banning Muslims from the U.S. and declaring war on Islam starting with all the mosques. Nothing wrong with that at all, it’s either now or later.

    There really needs to be an island like the French Devil’s Island of the early 20th century where we can send deportees who are refused repatriation by their own country. There should be no thought of releasing them back into the US population unmonitored. Hmm, maybe there would be room in Guantanamo Bay?
