The insane true story of how impossible it is to deport the worst foreign criminals.
Abdi Gelle Mohamed’s appearance on ICE’s ‘Worst of the Worst’ list for Minnesota is only the beginning of the real story. And hopefully the end of it.
“Before we arrested Somali criminal alien Abdi Gelle Mohamed in Minnesota, he was convicted of sexually abusing a child,” ICE tweeted.
What ICE didn’t mention was that it was in 1998 and we’ve been trying to deport him ever since.
Mohamed illegally entered the United States in 1998, claimed that he was mentally ill and had been persecuted in Somalia (one Somali cure for mental illness is to lock the patient in a room with a hyena so the beast can eat his demons, which is thus far the only Somali therapy that Minnesota taxpayers haven’t been paying millions of dollars for) and applied for asylum.
Proving that we were crazier than Mohammed, we granted the admitted lunatic… asylum.
Six months after the Somali illegal entered the country, he molested a ten-year-girl living in his building and, once again, claimed insanity. It took two years to determine if he was competent to stand trial. Finally he was convicted and sentenced to less than 3 years in prison. Minnesota declared that Mohamed (like the original Mohammed) was “mentally ill and dangerous.”
In 2001, the United States began trying to deport him. Mohammed claimed that he couldn’t be deported because sending him back to Somalia would violate the United Nations Convention Against Torture. No word on whether sexually abusing children violated any UN conventions.
(Considering the UN Peacekeepers’ track record of sexually abusing children, probably not.)
A witness testified that back in Somalia, Mohamed was “ostracized from the community and frequently beaten”. This seems like an entirely reasonable thing to do to a child molester.
Six years later, Mohamed still hadn’t been removed and his case had reached the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals as Mohammed, or rather his lawyers, argued that the Bush Administration was violating the illegal alien pedophile’s constitutional rights by trying to deport him.
Rather than being shipped back on the first boat or pirate ship, the Somali was now suing Attorney General Ashcroft and the United States in court over his ‘Constitutional’ right to Habeas Corpus, a term that should have been applied far more literally rather than liberally, and arguing, among other things, that he couldn’t be removed because his due process had been violated because the interpreter hadn’t properly translated the Somali word for “schizophrenia”.
It’s doubtful that a Somali illegal alien had dragged a lawsuit over the Real ID Act to the Court of Appeals of the Eighth Circuit on his own initiative. Not without some very good lawyers.
The ACLU and other pro-terrorist lawfare groups were against the provisions of the Real ID Act which barred illegal aliens who had been ordered removed from the country from endlessly dragging their cases through the court the way Mohamed had been doing. One of Mohamed’s lawyers had worked for a refugee group while another was with New York’s ACLU chapter.
The Court of Appeals noted that Mohamed’s case had followed a “tortuous path, from state probate court, to state criminal court, from six conferences with an immigration judge for removal proceedings, to the Board of Immigration Appeals, to this court on appeal, back to the Board, to federal district court for habeas proceedings, and finally to this court“. --->READ MORE HERE
