Ex-Terrorist Who Led ‘Women’s March’ Will be Deported

A convicted Palestinian terrorist and a key figure of the recent Women’s March will be deported from the United States after accepting a plea bargain that allows her to escape a prison sentence.
Rasmea Odeh will be stripped of her U.S citizenship and forced to leave the country and return to Jordan after failing to disclose to immigration authorities that she had been imprisoned in Israel for committing two terror attacks.
As part of her plea bargain, however, Odeh won’t have to spend time in U.S prison or detention, according to a statement on Thursday by the Rasmea Defense Committee.
The terrorist-turned-activist rose to prominence in the US following her involvement with the Women’s March and another recent high-profiel protest, “A Day Without A Woman”. In a letter in The Guardian that she co-authored with other activists, Odeh urged women worldwide to join in a “new wave of militant feminist struggle.”
But according to the New York Post, Odeh had a secret: she was convicted for her role in two terrorist attacks in Israel, including an attack on an Israeli supermarket in 1969 that killed two students shopping for groceries. She was released from prison in 1980 following a prisoner exchange.
Back then, Odeh admitted planting the bomb in the 1969 attack, though in later years she claimed the confession was given under torture. Israeli officials dispute this.
Despite spending 10 years in prison for terrorism in Israel, she acquired U.S citizenship in 2004 by withholding information about her past. She later claimed that post-traumatic stress disorder caused her to lie on her application for citizenship.
Another key organizer of the Women’s March, Linda Sarsour, has repeatedly defended her, tweeting back in 2014 when Odeh was convicted of immigration fraud that year: “Targeting, criminalizing, deporting torture victims like Rasmea Odeh reminds me once again how we lost our way as a nation.”

Don’t worry, Palestine needs suicide bombers. You’re never too old for that.

I suggest this only partly in jest: Obama probably would have feted her in the WH and put her on some special panel in recognition of her accomplishments and contributions to society...

At least she won't be costing the US Government more money and this is an excellent example of why and when the US sh ould strip someone of US citizenship. However, there should be follow up to see who sponsored, investigated, and approved her request for citizenship and take other appropriate measures.

Yep....we need more like her in the USA, .....the Burkini crowd.....take away women’s right to vote, drive or appear in public. Women need to be out of sight, out of mind /S
America’s feminists are into re-bondage. Submit you biatches?
Buahahahahahahaha!
Every feminist I have ever met thinks that Sharia is to be tolerated. That’s why they support whackos like Rasmea Odeh.
Glad she is being deported.
