Abdul Razak Ali Artan, the Somali refugee who attacked eleven people on the campus of Ohio State University on Monday, was initially resettled in Texas by Catholic Charities of Dallas in June 2014, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Artan and his family “arrived at DFW Airport by way of JFK International Airport, and stayed in temporary housing in Dallas for 23 days,” according to NBC5.
A spokesperson for the State Department tells Breitbart News that 98 Somali refugees arrived in Texas in June of 2014, according to the U.S. Department of State’s Worldwide Refugee Admissions Processing System database.
Twenty-six were resettled in Dallas, 47 in Fort Worth, 19 in Houston, and 6 in Austin.
NBC News reported earlier that Artan was born in Somalia, then moved to Pakistan with his family in 2007.
“Pakistan continues to host approximately 1.45 million refugees. Most are from Afghanistan and live in refugee villages and urban areas,” according to the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) website for Pakistan.
Presumably, Artan and his family were processed by the UNHCR while in Pakistan, where they completed the current security vetting process and overseas medical screening. At some point, they were approved to enter the United States as participants in the federal refugee resettlement program by an officer of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), part of the Department of Homeland Security.
Subsequent to that approval, bureaucrats at the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) determined that Artan and his family should be resettled in Texas.

Texas Muslim-—Serial Killer of Christians-—on Disability and Food Stamps, had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property
Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22
This sort of thing is surprisingly common among Muslims -very few seem to have jobs but they drive around in luxury cars and are well-dressed and fed. The only reason this case came to light is because the Texas Muslim refugee committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.
The murder of Christian believer, Gelareh Bagherzadeh, was reported earlier. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the man she loved.
The Texas Muslim claimed he was too disabled to work. But he wasn’t too disabled to kill.
BACKSTORY The Texan, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission. The Muslim, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, blamed his daughters husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam.
<><> First Christian-believer Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents Texas Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.
<><> Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in northwest Texas, in the Harris County apartment he shared with his wife.
The Texas Muslim thought he could get away with murdering because he had already gotten away with so many other things in Texas.
Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.
The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.
A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.
The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:
<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,
<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,
<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.
The Muslim Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.
Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.
The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim familys alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.
Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.
Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the home.
Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.
How was he a Somali refugee if he came here from Pakistan?
Absolutely correct.
Are you suggesting that Catholic charities are doing a good thing with resettling moose limb refugees for the regime?
When it comes time for Trump to cut off every penny the churches are getting to import terrorists, rapists, murderers, and drunk drivers, there will be a groundswell of support.
I am a daily attender of MASS.....I am NOT a BASHER of the Catholic Church.
Follow the leader. Remember when Pope Francis traveled to Lesbos earlier this year? Pope Francis Brings 12 Muslim Refugees Back to Italy on Papal Plane.
Meanwhile ...
CHRISTIAN BROTHER AND SISTER REFUGEES FROM SYRIA SAY THEY HAVE BEEN ‘LET DOWN’ BY POPE FRANCIS AFTER HE LEFT THEM BEHIND IN A LESBOS REFUGEE CAMP DESPITE PROMISES THEY WOULD BE GIVEN A NEW LIFE IN ITALY.
POPE FRANCIS ABANDONS CHRISTIAN SYRIAN REFUGEES, TAKES ONLY MUSLIMS TO VATICAN INSTEAD
I used to give to Catholic Charities to feed and house the poor until I found out they were taking money to put terrorists in my backyard.
sorry to say but refugee settlement programs are nothing but COMMERCIAL VENTURES having nothing to do with CHARITY....
UNLESS DOCUMENTATION CAN BE SHOWN THAT THEY 1. ENTERD THE COUNTRY LEGALLY AND 2. HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY VETTED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS.....butunfortunately we still run the risk of them being sleepers....
John Derbishire rips into them all equally... Religious “resettlement” rackets.
Read the article ... it's clearly explained.
Same here. The only ones I don’t pass along empty are the ones for our local SVdP Society, the priest retirement fund, and our sister parish in Haiti. The first collection and building fund we do via direct deposit.
Several years ago, I met someone familiar with the local office of Catholic Charities. He spoke highly of their program to resettle Muslims in our area. I was taken aback and asked about christian refugees. He dismissed this by suggesting that we need to extend our services to others as well. I thought of the Jews who protect and defend their own first. Apparently, that is not the case with the Catholic Church. You may recall that earlier this year, pope Francis visited Lesbos and returned with only Muslim refugees. (POPE FRANCIS ABANDONS CHRISTIAN SYRIAN REFUGEES, TAKES ONLY MUSLIMS TO VATICAN INSTEAD). However, you may have missed the following information in the above article.
After determining the “head count” of arriving refugees for a particular city and state, the local authorized resettlement agency (the affiliate of one of nine major voluntary agencies, or “VOLAGs,” who are paid more than $1 billion per year by the federal government to resettle refugees), is paid to resettle the refugees. Those payments include allocations for housing, food, education, and other financial benefits.
IOW, follow the money trail!!!
Bill O'Reilly addressed this story last night on the O'Reilly Factor. Whoever is in charge of Catholic Charities will face an uphill battle this year, as donations from parishioners will no doubt tank.
Wow. Just wow.
I have withheld judgement on Pope Francis for as long as I possibly could, mindful of the fact that because the powers that be want nothing more than to undermine Papal authority, I shouldn’t take for face value what others interpret to be his words or intentions.
But we all know actions speak louder than words. How he could have abandoned members of the Body of Christ that way is astonishingly sad.
Catholic Charities is neither.
We are all members of the Body of Christ. If some of our outer extremities are becoming gangrenous, we should know about it so we can apply the proper treatment, right? Not all bad news is bashing, a body’s got to have a biofeedback system. :)
I could be mistaken about this because I wasn't paying full attention, but his response seemed to be... TS... So what... Only following orders...
BTTT
