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.”
I wonder if a mmechanical issue will force them to land in Israel.
I wonder if they’d like a few words with her.
Exactly!....how in the hell do these people get vetted in the 1st place???....the vetting process should be the 1st “WALL” they encounter....
In one of life’s cruel ironies she would have been a Hillary cabinet appointment.
Remind me again about the great vetting we’re doing.
How can you be an “ex-terrorist”?
You either are or you are not.
When asked why women can't drive in Saudi Arabia....
Sharia law is SO awesome for women!
Fake post

I dare her to wear her pussy hat when she arrives back home to her islam hellhole.
Libtards are a special kind of stupid, totally disconnected from reality.
POWERFUL! A picture is worth a thousand words.
I wonder if we can revoke natural born citizens’ citizen status, and where to deport them to?
Deport the other bitch too.
So much Win...
Good riddance to bad rubbish! Now this is the kind of winning I can get used to!
It says a lot that so many “citizens” of USA could rally behind this creature. Not good.
Radical Islam has a friend in the left.
Not an ex terrorist.
And good
