A 45-year-old Iraqi national who was granted refugee status in the U.S. is accused of having fought for ISIS and al-Qaida and is now facing extradition to Iraq on a murder charge.The costs of "diversity"...
The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested Omar Ameen at his home in Sacramento on Wednesday. Ameen is charged in the 2014 death of an Iraqi police officer in his hometown, Rawah, just after it fell to the Islamic State.
Federal prosecutors say Ameen fled Iraq after the killing and lied about his background to gain entry to the U.S. as a refugee, claiming he had been persecuted in his home country.
An arrest warrant was filed in May in Iraq, where Ameen is expected to face trial. On Tuesday a federal judge in Sacramento issued a warrant based on the extradition request.
Court documents state that on June 22, 2014, a day after ISIS militants seized Rawah, Ameen rode into town in a caravan of ISIS vehicles.
