Gay Refugee from Afghanistan Charged with Assault for Blocking Betsy DeVos

A gay man who condemned President Donald Trump's immigration order as driven by irrational fear was himself charged with assault for blocking Education Secretary Betsy DeVos from entering a middle school in Washington, D.C., on Friday. The opposition to DeVos has ranged from legitimate criticism to irrational paranoia, which seems to have driven protesters to physically prevent her from doing her job.

"Some are afraid that the Syrian or Yemeni or Libyan or Sudanese or Iranian or Iraqi family fleeing conflict or persecution is instead coming to take our jobs or threaten our way of life," 31-year-old protester Bilal Ahmed Askaryar wrote in an NPR article last month. Despite denouncing this fear as irrational, Askaryar allegedly engaged in an act of protest based on similar fears of Betsy DeVos.

Over the weekend, Askaryar was charged with misdemeanor assault and failing to obey an officer during a demonstration outside of Jefferson Middle School Academy, Politico reported. The paper also quoted a police report which said Askaryar was given "several lawful orders" to move out of the way of a vehicle, and then pushed an individual identified as "V-1." Listed as a factor under one of the charges is "impeding/assaulting US government cabinet member," Politico added.

(1) How about adding Afghanistan - as well as others - to the list of countries targeted for "extreme vetting" of aliens trying to come into the US from there?

(2) Fortunately, this is only a relatively minor crime, causing no deaths or injuries to American citizens. You can expect more serious stuff will be perpetrated in the US by aliens from unstable predominantly Muslim nations, and having pro-Islamist and leftist ideologies. Reducing that risk is the valid reason for Trump's executive order.

There is a building in Afghanistan waiting for him to be thrown from if we can get him deported for committing a crime.

Assault.

They should deport him to an address on the top of the tallest building in Kabul.

(just to save them the trouble)

Why isn’t this s.o.b. working? Why does he have the time and the inclination to be protesting and breaking the law? Undoubtedly he is a welfare parasite. Send him back home.

What a the rules about refugees who break the law?

Ain't a lot of tall buildings in Afghanistan, but I'm sure they'd figure out something. :)
