Flight Student Facing Deportation Over Trump Post

Russ Niles

A commercial flight school student from Egypt is in jail in California after he posted what immigration officials perceive as a threat to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. It appears the Immigration and Customs Enforcement department is intent on deporting Emadeldin Elsayed for the Facebook post even though there was not enough evidence to charge him criminally. In the post, Elsayed said he would be willing to go to prison for life for killing Trump and the world would thank him for it. Elsayed and his lawyer Hani Bushra both have said the post was dumb and Elsayed said he regretted hitting the button as soon as he did it. He said he was reacting to Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from the U.S. temporarily. “It’s just a stupid post. You can find thousands of these every hour on Facebook and the media,” he told The Associated Press in a phone interview from jail. “I don’t know why would they think I am a threat to the national security of the United States just because of a stupid post.”

It apparently took the Secret Service and immigration officials more than a week to determine it was more serious than a “stupid post.” He was interviewed by the Secret Service shortly after he put up the post and eight days later they returned to tell him that while he didn’t break the law, his visa to attend flight school was being revoked. He said the agent who interviewed him spoke about the mass killing in nearby San Bernardino by a Muslim couple and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. Elsayed will appear at an immigration hearing to discover his fate but it appears Customs..

Egyptian held in Trump threat agrees to leave US

Friday, March 04, 2016 12:25PM
LOS ANGELES, CA —

An Egyptian flight student who was arrested after posting threatening comments about Donald Trump on Facebook has agreed to leave the country by July 5.

Immigration authorities on Friday agreed to let Emadeldin Elsayed return to Egypt voluntarily instead of deporting him. Elsayed is being held at a jail in Southern California.

His lawyer, Hani Bushra, told Immigration Judge Kevin Riley that he may seek another bond hearing for Elsayed because he believes the detention is illegal.

Immigration authorities arrested Elsayed at his Los Angeles-area flight school on Feb. 12, eight days after the Secret Service investigated a post he wrote on his Facebook page. It said he would be willing to serve a life sentence for killing the Republican presidential hopeful.

Elsayed is not charged with a crime.

Glenn Beck should be sharing a cell with this guy. On his show today, Beck said that he would have stabbed Trump, and the stabbing wouldn’t have stopped. Now, Beck is trying to weasel his way out of this by claiming that he was talking about stabbing the co-host of his show, not Trump. I listed to the recording, and it sounds to me that he was referring to stabbing Trump.

The Secret Service should slap that loon in a cell, and investigate him. At the same time Cruz should be asked if he is going to disavow Beck.

Angry Muslim guy attending flight school.

Sounds familiar.

Well, Good job, Secret Service and thank you, Mr. Obama for not standing with the Muslims this time.

Much appreciated and I mean that most sincerely.

We are still admitting them to flight schools?

What is being done about Glenn Beck? Is Cruz still silent about his buddy?

TSA Let 25 Illegal Aliens Attend Flight School Owned by Illegal Alien

By Edwin Mora | July 18, 2012 | 4:38 PM EDT

(CNSNews.com) — The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) approved flight training for 25 illegal aliens at a Boston-area flight school that was owned by yet another illegal alien, according to the Government Accountability Office.

The illegal-alien flight-school attendees included eight who had entered the country illegally and 17 who had overstayed their allowed period of admission into the United States, according to an audit by the GAO.

Three of the illegal aliens were actually able to get pilot’s licenses.

Discovery of the trouble at the flight school began when local police—not federal authorities—pulled over the owner of the school on a traffic violation and were able to determine that he was an illegal alien.

"I have a knife this big!"

"radio host Glenn Beck said that if he “had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop."

You can find thousands of these every hour on Facebook and the media,” he told The Associated Press.

And they apparently fit Facebook's community standards!
