A radical, Israel-hating California teacher claimed she married a Gaza resident online to help him gain American citizenship — and push her pro-Palestinian agenda.
Laura Pinho, a dance teacher at Canoga Park Senior High School in California, announced her nuptials in a wild June 16 CODEPINK Zoom webinar called “Challenging Zionism In Our Schools.”
When CODEPINK activist Marcy Winograd congratulated her on her marriage and asked her to share details about her life, Pinho, 51, launched into a pedantic monologue about how she only married Salem S.E. Abu Amra to advance “Palestinian rights and freedoms.”
“I have power as an American citizen. I have a passport that I was just born with, and how can I live in this world if I don’t make every effort to equalize the playing field on whatever way that I can,” she said in the webinar, first uncovered by the North American Values Institute.
Englewood New Jersey Mayor Michael Wildes — who is also an immigration attorney and former federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York — told The Post that Pinho is playing with fire.
“She can be prosecuted criminally, brought up on federal conspiracy charges. Marriage fraud is one of the top five crimes you can perpetrate including terrorism and drugs. The fact that somebody would be foolish enough to say they actually did it makes it actionable for the federal government to investigate,” Wildes said.
Marrying someone to obtain a green card is federal crime and can carry a five-year prison sentence and up to a $250,000 fine, according to the Department of Justice.
The odd couple tied the knot April 5 in Utah, which allows marriages to be conducted via Zoom, according to records posted online by the Utah County Clerk and obtained by Israeli nonprofit NGO Monitor.

IIRC, a skank Congress critter from Sh!tholistan married her brother to help with citizenship.
Dance teacher? She should be dancing on a rope.
God’ law is more stringent; His Penalty lasts much longer.
Exactly — its immigration fraud and now she is on record. She is obviously stupid in more ways than one.
Laura Pinho, a dance teacher at Canoga Park Senior High School in California, has found a way to marriage. After hitting the wall hard at 51 and driving all future marriage prospects away with lectures on white supremacy, patriarchy BLM, her democracy, and colonization has found a match. A non-english speaking Gaza man that thinks when she talks the infidel wants sex. Laura is now proudly virtue signaling to all her single activists comrades.
Now we know why younger voters are suddenly supporting communism.
The moron bigot said "I have a passport that I was just born with". Really? Born with a passport?
I guess she didnt have any brothers to marry
“Female narcissism on full display; first, by how important she thinks she is; and, second, by her need to tell everyone to gain their admiration.”
Main character syndrome.
Maybe she’s just horney.
I hope her marriage is backed by the full faith of sharia.
Breaking FR protocols, I read the attached article. I skimmed it quickly, it is not clear that the “groom” has ever come to the U.S. or that the happy newlyweds have ever met in person. He is from Gaza and may still be there. She is a California resident. The “wedding” was conducted in Utah because it allows zoom weddings, provided that the couple provide two witnesses (who also do not need at any point to be present), get a Utah marriage license (done remotely, I presume), and present valid ID. How Utah checks IDs on marriage applications, I don’t know. I won’t make any stupid snarky jokes about the semi-underground, unreformed, polygamous Mormon sects that are still scattered around ....
Anyhow, the marriage is about as solid as a California voter ID. Of course it should be overturned by the first judge to hear the case, if a case is ever brought. A hyper-politicized activist judge would probably ok it; an honest judge would not.
Once again, we see the almost complete rot beneath the surface of institutions that are supposed to maintain basic guardrails.
I’m starting to think the IRS may be the only federal agency that even tries to keep rigorous records anymore. And that’s only because it’s in business to fleece us and wants to be sure that no one can hide a quarter under the couch cushion.
Who is that skank, from a Shiite hole country? 😝😆😂 Oh wait, I think we all know. 😀😊🤪
How many Virtue Points did she get for that?
She teaches dance...
With her cunning and insane mind she will do what she can to bring this terrorist over. He, having grown up in Gaza will not follow any rules, civility, order or moral guideline.
Together they will avoid the legalities and processes.
****
She's a peach.
*****
What a waste of the tax payer money.
Immigration fraud
Laura better go to Gaza shithole for some time, she aught to feel what it’s like living under a Hamas brutality
