Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Northeastern University student deported back to Iran over family’s ties to jihad terror groups

Jan 24, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“A U.S. official familiar with information reviewed by authorities told CBS News that Dehghani himself does not have ties to terroristic groups, but ‘some very close to him’ do.”

Many in the U.S. think Shabab Dehghani is an innocent victim of official “Islamophobia.” And it is certainly true that no one should be punished for someone else’s misdeeds. At the same time, how can anyone be certain that he doesn’t hold the same views that his family members hold? To how much of a risk is Northeastern University required to expose its students?

“Northeastern Student Was Deported Back To Iran Over Family’s Ties To Terroristic Groups,” CBS, January 22, 2020:

BOSTON (CBS) – Shabab Dehghani, a Northeastern University college student who was detained at Logan Airport and sent back to Iran before an immigration hearing was held, was deported because of his family’s ties to terroristic groups, CBS News reports.

A U.S. official familiar with information reviewed by authorities told CBS News that Dehghani himself does not have ties to terroristic groups, but “some very close to him” do.

Dehghani is studying economics at Northeastern. He’s been studying in Boston for two years, but was stuck at home in Iran in December 2018 after visiting his family as he waited for his student visa to be renewed.

Dehghani’s attorney, Susan Church, told WBZ-TV he was detained starting Sunday night despite having a legal F1 Student Visa, as he tried to get back to school – and said at the time she didn’t know why.

An immigration hearing was scheduled for Tuesday morning, but Dehghani was deported before it began.

Judge Richard Stearns said during the brief hearing that there was nothing he could do because Dehghani had already been deported. Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey tweeted Wednesday that he still hadn’t heard from U.S. Customs and Border Protection about why Dehghani was turned away….

      Yes! He will not be missed. Surely, the FBI can find other fifth columnists and spies to join him.

    “Studying economics”

    I thought it might be something more islamic like Taqqiya studies, a subject we
    all know that requires being Economical with the Truth.

    Still,it could have been worse;Pilot Training..

      They are taught Taqqiya from birth, from parents and the quran. Don’t forget Kitman, <Talwrya as well… and a few other systems of lying and deceit.

    ……………….

    Unless Shabab Dehghani has broken with his family over this, then this is just.

    disagree with his deportation
    if his views were same as there family members then i would agree

    With his ties to terrorist, deportation was the correct response. One must remember that to LIE is part of the teaching of jihad. Better safe then sorry! Good job by our law enforcement community to recognize the possible danger of allowing this individual to freely move about our country.

    This presumably observant Muslim studied economics here for two years? Shar’ia compliance bans interest, no? Seems to me he could have studied all he needed to know about this subject in an Iranian university. Why study here, and waste your time learning about things Islam considers haram? My gut tells me there was something fishy about this guy.

      Not all Iranians are muslims, and not all Iranian muslims agree with terrorism. They have tried to overthrow the government loads of time, and been killed in untold numbers, or put in jail and then executed, or gunned down in the streets.

        Infidels don’t typically have ties to Jihad terror groups…
