I started off with the DOJ's website to check for activity. There's a May 17 link to sentencing of a Hizballah terrorist.

Ali Kourani Convicted in Manhattan Federal Court for Covert Terrorist Activities on Behalf of Hizballah’s Islamic Jihad Organization

The terrorist's name is  Ali Kourani, a.k.a. “Ali Mohamad Kourani,” a.k.a. “Jacob Lewis,” a.k.a. “Daniel.” 

I searched his name, Ali Kourani, and found a Daily Beast article that provides levels of detail I found interesting (e.g., "He was undone after running a stop sign with 190 pairs of Uggs"), including a description of how leaders of Hizbollah recruited him as a "sleeper agent" and later how the FBI tried to turn him into an informant.

Ali Kourani, the Hezbollah Sleeper Agent Busted Black Ops in America

That article notes that when he was arrested in the US last June, the press referred to him as “the Kingsbridge Heights Terrorist.” The press apparently didn't want to refer to him by his real name nor associate him with Hizballah - just one more way the press has worked to protect those who would destroy us. The Daily Beast article held my interest even though I really wasn't planning on spending any time researching much about him.

ANother article from msn.com offers some conflicting info. In the DB article, Kourani was approached by the FBI, in the MSN.com article below, "After his wife took their kids and moved to Canada, Kourani approached the FBI, offering them information in exchange for “benefits,” Houle said.

Kourani, 34, wanted the FBI to get his children back from his wife, arrest his wife’s family, give him a high-paying job and an apartment in a doorman building, Houle said. But Kourani’s intel on Hezbollah wasn’t valuable enough to the FBI and they arrested him instead.

“The defendant miscalculated. His plan failed,” Houle said. “The U.S. government was not prepared to provide benefits and a doorman building to a terrorist.”"

Sophisticated terrorist or fake Ugg boots salesman? Trial begins of accused Hezbollah spy living in the Bronx.

Anyway, more evidence of Trump's administration working to purge the US of terrorists, and of the legacy of our treasonous press.

As well as the utter sense of entitlement among the Musselmen.

I've been nailed for connections to Hezbollah, and my wife went to another country with the kids. What'll I do? I know, I'll DEMAND the FBI arrest my wife, and put in in a position to control access to a tall building full of civilians, and pay me free rent, too.

If he wanted treatment like that, he should've gone over to England. /Dhimmis if not converts>
