In Buffalo, New York, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested an illegal immigrant, Saim Irgi, 39, from Turkey, who resisted officers during his apprehension and attempted to grab one of the officers’ tasers, yelling “Allahu Akbar” as he was forcefully removed from his vehicle.
Irgi was taken into custody on November 5, after officers were forced to tase him. He has a violent criminal history, including charges of assault in New Jersey and charges for strangulation, assault, and reckless endangerment in Pennsylvania.
ICE Buffalo acting Field Office Director Tammy Marich said in a statement:
Saim Irgi is a violent criminal offender and a significant public safety threat to the residents of western New York. The officers of ICE Buffalo will continue to work tirelessly to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from the United States.
Irgi entered the United States illegally near Jamul, California, from Mexico on July 7, 2023. He was then released by the Biden administration into the country without any vetting.
On March 19, the Pennsauken Police Department in New Jersey arrested Irgi on a simple-assault charge, which was dismissed on April 4. Later that same day, he was taken into custody by the Philadelphia Police Department and charged with strangulation, simple assault, and reckless endangerment.
Any Federal judge order that he must be deported to NYC to help the new mayor?
Shouldn’t have been arrested. Should have been shot as a terrorist.
We need to get everyone of these people and deport them immediately...No if’ and’s or but’s.....
“Irgi was taken into custody on November 5, after officers were forced to tase him.”
Gee, that’s a shame.
“He has a violent criminal history, including charges of assault in New Jersey and charges for strangulation, assault, and reckless endangerment in Pennsylvania.”
Okay, maybe not.
Don’t tase me, Bro!
The motto of New York City is “Sigillum Civitatis Novi Eboraci,” which now translates roughly to “Alahu Akhbar.”
> resisted officers during his apprehension and attempted to grab one of the officers’ tasers, yelling “Allahu Akbar” <
In the UK, officers probably would have been ordered to give him the taser.
In the US, we’re not that bad.
Not yet, anyway.
Well we know now that he was not hispanic ..
I fully agree. He attempted to grab a tazer (which he may have thought to have been a gun) was his attempt to disable the officer. Shoot then contact his mother to claim the body.
Glad to see them getting jihadists too!
I voted for this. 👍✝️
Him being in Buffalo makes me wonder if his plan was to flee to Canada...
That should warrant a double tap
What country is “Sam” from? I betcha he didn’t “Walk” to the border…
Drop this evil thing
at Pres DEI Jills new place .
He can stick Her and the senile ones heads on a sticks .
It be fitting end for that evil America hating witch .
That’s right, TURKEY! Who the heck paid for his plane ticket to the Border? I betcha I know….Georgie!
TWO encounters with law enforcement yet he was free to roam around. The problem lies not with the police, but with the DA and/or the Courts.
Don’t tase me, Khayoo.
Wonder if they’ve come up with a motive yet.
