Convicted terrorist-turned-Women's March organizer Rasmea Odeh has been deported from the United States to Jordan after it was revealed that she lied on her application for a U.S. visa and for U.S. citizenship. Odeh did not state on her application that she was convicted in 1970 for two bombings in Jerusalem that resulted in the deaths of two people, and hence was tried for immigration fraud. After several appeals and a vacated sentence, on March 23, 2017 Odeh was sentenced to be deported and to be stripped of her U.S. citizenship. Her citizenship was formally revoked on August 17.
Odeh was one of the co-authors of the Women's March's "A Day Without A Woman" planned strike and was active in the Women's March activism.
Despite the relatively open-and-shut nature of the case, Odeh still has supporters who protested her deportation using the hashtag #HonorRasmea.
We cannot express the amount of sorrow felt, a broken system deported an amazing activist & organizer #HonorRasmea https://t.co/EE1H8RAwna pic.twitter.com/elFg3mrmgE— WomensMarchIA (@WomensMarchIA) September 20, 2017

WRL's 2017 Grace Paley Lifetime Achievement Awardee Rasmea Odeh was deported to Jordan this week. Our struggle is one struggle.#HonorRasmea pic.twitter.com/qk9XmLUA3R— War Resisters League (@resistwar) September 21, 2017
And despite claiming to a Chicago newspaper that she has no friends or family in Jordan, this appears to be false.

She lied. In this instance, they found out later, and are doing the right thing.
She spent time in prison for being connected to terrorism.
She said no when asked if she had ever done something like this.
It has taken four years to get her ass out of here. That’s my only beef at this point.
Well, that and admitting people at all from that region these days.
All I would like to know is
has this ex-terrorist left the United States,
yes or no?
I’ve been hearing reactions to her upcoming deportation since the Inauguration. I’m concerned that she’s going to disappear into the crowd and never leave.
Should be deported to Guantanamo for the rest of her life.
In name of multiculturalism? Besides they are reliable democrat voters eventually. First Reagan gave millions of illegals blanket amnesty. Then the Bushes neither pushed for the wall, nor made any attempts to deport illegals. And now the majority GOP congress is slow walking funding the wall. My point is, the blame goes all around.

Wow...what GREAT news...stripped of her citizenship AND deported. Hallelujah. How long has this vermin been living in the US?
I hope we hear LOTS more stories like this. Maybe next we could focus on all the lousy mexicans protesting on OUR soil. The last thing this country should tolerate is ingrate illegals protesting us and our laws on OUR soil. Eff all of them. Get them out of here. Anybody rounded up in such a protest should be immediately put on a plane back to Old Mexico.
I’ll take a thousand illegals from Mexico over one if these Muslim communist terrorists.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww such a pity such a pity..one less Jew Hating far left loon in America..can we deport Sarsour next I was hoping it was that b*tch that was deported but I’ll take this murdering loser being deported as a HUGE plus and look at the loons who will miss her..can we deport those idiots too
They should have waited until after Halloween. She would be great in a horror house, no make-up required.
So Linda Sarour AND this creature? This should have been much bigger news with sirens and p*ssy hats on Drudge.
On this issue, it has gone back to around 1985. And yes, both parties were the problem.
I defend Reagan. Here’s why.
As we are told today there are only 11 million illegals in country, Reagan was told there was only 1 million. In his speeches, he explained there was only 1 million that would take advantage of the amnesty. As soon as he signed the legislation, 3.5 million signed up under it.
We could count on 30 million plus signing up, perhaps significantly more.
Reagan addressed why he signed it. He addressed the 1 million illegals in the nation at the time, and how unacceptable that was. He signed the bill granting them amnesty, because that same bill put into effect harsh penalties for hiring illegals.
Employers were subject to large fines. There may have been a renter’s clause, subjecting landlords to stiff fines. I’m not sure if either touched on confiscation. They may have.
Then George Bush came along. So did Clinton, GW, and Obama. None of these people enforced the new laws Reagan signed into law.
Oh they were thrilled that the amnesty was enforced, but they had not desire to do their Constitutional duty.
Reagan did his best to make things right. If the laws he signed into law had been enforced, we wouldn’t have many illegals in our nation.
The Bushes, Clinton, and Obama didn’t give a damn about 10, 20, 30, or more illegals being in our nation. Remember, Reagan railed on 1 million being here.
There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell Reagan would be up for an amnesty today.
If he had remained president, those laws would have been religiously enforced.
We’ve been sold out since January 1989.
That Bush family is flat ass wicked. They’re not much better than the Clintons or Obama.
You’ll get tens of millions of illegals from Mexico AND hundreds of muslim communist terrorists.
She was counting on Hitlery winning!!!
+1
Sorry, I refuse take a thousand illegals from Mexico or any other country for that matter. If you observe which illegals are in American prisons, majority of those convicted criminals are Mexicans.
The difference between Mexican illegals and Muslim illegals is, the former are currently a much larger number, and are doing the most crime among illegals. OTOH the Muslims (both legal and illegal) are a huge threat in the future. The 53 Muslim majority countries in the world today all started out with a handful immigrants. They grow silently until becoming majority, then Sharia takes over.
Reagan failed to understand the basic truth of psychology. Which is, rewarding bad behavior GUARANTEES more bad behavior in future. After Reagan gave illegals blanket amnesty, the flow of illegals expanded geometrically.
