The White House said Wednesday that it considers the New York terrorist attacker to be an enemy combatant, a status which would make him subject to military justice.
“I believe we would consider this person to be an enemy combatant, yes,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “I think the actions that he took certainly justify that.”
Terrorist suspect Sayfullo Saipov, a native of Uzbekistan, is accused of killing eight people and injuring 11 others by mowing them down with a rented truck on a bike path in lower Manhattan Tuesday. President Trump said he would consider sending Mr. Saipov to the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention center. Mrs. Sanders said the president “wasn’t necessarily advocating for it.”
Asked about the president’s call for quicker and tougher justice in terrorism prosecutions, Mrs. Sanders said Mr. Trump “was simply expressing his frustration” with the lengthy legal process that often comes with such cases.

If he is an enemy combatant, does that mean what he did is formally declared an act of war and any wartime exclusion clauses in insurance policies come into effect?
Let the bastard rot in Gitmo for 30 - 40 years.
A very large percentage of the MSM should be considered enemy combatants also.
He was a socialist for sure, but at least you knew what side he was on when the rubber met the road.
A public hanging would help focus the minds of Islamists in America.
Send all 23 of his family members that he brought over here back to their hog lagoon country ASAP.
If a family member commits terrorism, they should all be sent back.
Yeah! This guy Saipov should be shot and several thousand more muzzies should be considered enemy terrorists and deported
Absolutely! Taken to Gitmo and place in solitary in a 4’ by 8’ cell forever.
A nice hog pen somewhere down in Mississippi would be good for him, his family, and all the mosque members at the New Jersey hive.
He is a LAPR "Lawfully Admitted for Permanent Residency admitted under the visa lottery program. He is a lawful immigrant.
He is also out of his legal status because he is in jail.
He is probably entitled to a regular trial given his legal status. However if convicted he can be striped of his legal status and its protections and be ordered removed from the US. All the way to Gitmo.
I would rather see him in a super max. Much harsher than the resort on Cuba.
“He is probably entitled to a regular trial given his legal status.”
It’s easy to make the case he got his legal status fraudulently and strip it.
Then ship to Gitmo for fun and games.
Did he become a citizen?
I refer you to Hamdi v Rumsfeld for various thoughts on Gitmo and detainees and due process.
And the infamous Scalia dissent that even made it into this wonderful tribute to Scalia

If Sander’s “we” includes President Trump (which it almost certainly does), it fits in nicely with my new tagline.
Gitmo, firing squad???
This guy should have never made it to the back of a cop car!
He should have been shot on sight by the first armed American that had a clear shot.
That program gives him a green card.
Enemy combatant!? OF COURSE he should be considered an Enemy Combatant.
Ya think?
“This guy should have never made it to the back of a cop car!”
There’s catharsis in the pomp and ceremony of a Hanging or Firing Squad.
And it allows terror to build in the heart of the condemned.

For every American that died deport 10K
For every American injured deport 5K
Start with their anyone even remotely related to him.
Oh, I almost forget, bulldoze his mosque to the ground.
