Judge rules Saudi student could be deported

BOISE - An immigration judge in Boise decided today that University of Idaho graduate student Sami Omar Al-Hussayen could be deported.
But the Saudi Arabian national allegedly linked to Islamic radicals will remain in the Canyon County Jail as his case moves along two legal tracks.
Immigration Court Judge Anna Ho decided Al-Hussayen was "removable," meaning he could be deported for violating the terms of his student visa into the United States by being paid for creating Internet pages for groups including the Islamic Assembly of North America.
But Ho continued the hearing until June Fourth, meaning Al-Hussayen will stay in custody.
Al-Hussayen was arrested in February in Moscow and faces eleven charges of visa fraud and making false statements to attend the university.
Today, federal attorneys asked him if he worked with two radical Saudi sheiks linked to Osama bin Laden. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination for all the questions.
As they say in Mexico - "Saudios amigo."
OK, somebody had to say it.
