When the threat appeared imminent, the FBI had to move in on the only charge that could stick for now: weapons charges. Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, was planning a massive terror attack targeting Jewish people in the Houston area. He had visited multiple gun ranges in the area and was trying to obtain instructions for bomb-making.
How Abuayyash was able to get firearms is a detail that will be revealed in time, but yes—he shouldn’t have been able to purchase or possess any firearm on a non-immigrant visa. That paperwork expired in 2019, but he’s been allowed to remain on American soil on a work authorization order through 2024. He's also applied for asylum (via NY Post):
A “radical” Jordanian national living in Texas was allegedly plotting an attack on Houston’s Jewish community before he was arrested on gun charges.
Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, had been studying how to build bombs and posted about his support for killing Jews, federal officials claim.
“He has viewed specific and detailed content posted by radical organizations on the internet, including lessons on how to construct bombs or explosive devices,” FBI Director Chris Wray told the Senate Homeland Security Committee, though he declined to identify Abuayyash by name.
“And that defendant has made statements to others that support the killing of individuals of particular religious faiths.

...after you cover him with bacon grease and pig fat.
He’s the guy that is served up to take attention away from any others.
They’re all high fiving and taking pictures like cops do when there’s a big drug seizure.
There’s a scene in the movie, Traffic(which is really good), where the drug dealer/snitch explains how they’ll send one sacrificial lamb to the border with drugs. While everyone is celebrating, the other trucks breeze right through.
The FBI now has a million clean skin, untraceable immigrants to groom as terrorists.
Given the history of the FBI it can’t automatically be assumed to be a legitimate case. Most of the Muslim terrorist plots broken up by the FBI in the last many years were actually FBI planned and inspired “plots”, much like the Whitmer “kidnapping” case, and J6.
The reason he was caught is a gun shop owner reported him.
That is probably the gun store that reported him.
He applied for asylum when his visa expired, which bought him time.
Note he is called Jordanian when most likely he very much identifies as Palestinian.
It was a gun store that reported him.
No...it was the gun store that reported him based on the paperwork.
FBI started investigating him in August before the Oct 7 attacks in Israel.
Some of the few remaining Texas Good old Boy agents made the arrest before consulting Washington.
...more likely their own asset taken down to make a show of it.
Good point.
Gun control in the USA is a dead issue now. They might want to make it an issue again, but it ain’t gonna happen.
You’re absolutely correct. This has to be FBI-instigated.
In the state of Texas, you must be at least 21 years old to purchase a
handgun. (the article states he had
one in his possession). He’s supposedly
20 years old.
The gunshop pic is not an
actual pic of the supposed perps
weapon. It’s only posted as scare
tactics about those evil military
style weapons.
He could have bought or stole these
weapons from anyone, but not from a
gunshop.
