Here is the hot news this morning. The LA Times has a more detailed account of the story that broke overnight, than some other news outlets (maybe CA is getting a little more sensitive to the terrorists living in their midst).
The two Iraqis are actually Palestinians who had been living in Iraq. By the way, we only bring a small number of Palestinians to the US as refugees. And, it is not clear to me if one or either of these actually became refugees by arriving here through some other means and then granted asylum. I guess only their federal resettlement contractor knows for sure!

The Obama administration is helping them.
Two Palestinian men who were born in Iraq and came to the U.S. as refugees were arrested Thursday - one in Houston and another in Sacramento, Calif. - as part of federal investigations into alleged terrorist plans, authorities said Thursday.
Federal officials did not directly link the two cases, but the indictments were both unsealed Thursday and both men are scheduled to appear in courts Friday.
The Houston man was identified as Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, 24. He was charged with three counts - attempting to provide material support to ISIS, unlawfully procuring citizenship or naturalization and making false statements....
Officials who said they had been briefed on the case said Al Hardan had lived in Houston with his family for about four years and that the case had unspecified connections to arrests elsewhere.

I missed a line to include:
According to the six-page indictment, Al Hardan was born in Iraq on Christmas Day, 1991, and entered the U.S. as a refugee around Nov. 2, 2009. He was granted permanent resident status about Aug. 22, 2011.
This no surprise. There is a major infestation in west Houston. They must number in the thousands. Three mosques have gone up within walking distance of my house. It is only a matter of time before they become too confident in their numbers and are aggressive.
