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.”
Good!
Of course the narrative will she is being ‘pointed out’ and deported ONLY because of her march activities.
AND the Lib press will gladly push that angle.
Good she be gone with NO prison time, gets her off our ‘welfare rolls’ quicker.
Another reason we need a wall- and/or tight border control as these fools will get deported today and walk back across the border tomorrow afternoon.....
Dayum! You’re right!!! They’re going to deport Joe Pesci!
OMG! That’s WONDERFUL!
Hallelujah!
Sarsour may be the next Brooklyn Borough President or City Council member in Brooklyn, the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn, which used to be a conservative enclave.
Sarsour is not going anywhere.

I’m glad they got her. Not so glad she won’t be in prison before they kick her butt out of the US.
But I love small victories.
Ha ha.
Seriously, this is awesome.
Seriously because it finally something serious.
Don’t let the hellfire missile hit your ass on the way out...
An Arab terrorist who planted a bomb that resulted in loss of human lives and served a prison sentence for it — becomes a US citizen -in 2004 - smack dab in the middle of the Bush admin with Colin Powell as Sec State.
I’m guessin she’ll be back.
