DOJ Drops Charges Against Syrian Woman Arrested at Texas Border with Mexico
Breitbart Texas ^ | 09/28/2015 | by Ildefonso Ortiz

McALLEN, Texas – A federal court in this border city dropped all charges against a Syrian woman and her brother in law, a U.S. Citizen, who were arrested as they attempted to enter the U.S. from Mexico.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested 27-year-old Walaa Alrehawi and her brother-in-law 46-year-old Mohammad Ziad Alzalam last week in the border city of Hidalgo on the charge of misusing a U.S. passport.

Court records obtained by Breitbart Texas revealed that Ziad traveled to Beirut, Lebanon, to pick up Alrehawi and the two allegedly used a U.S. passport belonging to Ziad’s wife to fly to Frankfurt, Germany. From there, the two flew to the Mexican resort town of Cancun and then made their way to the Mexican city of Reynosa, where they arrived at the international bridge and split up as Ziad tried to enter as a citizen while Alrehawi arrived trying to request asylum.

CBP officers had charged the two with misuse of a U.S. Passport, however, the very next day the U.S Attorney’s Office filed a motion to dismiss all charges “with prejudice” stating that the move came “in the interest of justice.”

How dare the CBP try and do its job and stop a Muslim invader from being smuggled into the US.

We are truly in a battle against the evil of this Federal Government. Anyone that does not believe this is very foolish.

And as long as the current administration is in control, our country is sunk.

I get being against something. I get opposition of politics or ideology. What I don’t get is those GOPe leaders who HELP these a$$holes implement their policies designed to destroy us.

I really can’t say here what I think should happen to the Crying Boy, or his McTurtle counterpart, but it isn’t pretty. They together have done so much damage to us and our heirs it isn’t remotely funny.

Hey, there's a problem in the Breitbart article: The DOJ's request was drafted as an order for dismissal without prejudice--i.e.,the original case is not necessarily and finally closed--whereas the Breitbart article says the Court Order was issued with prejudice--i.e., the original case is now closed.

So, when are they going to be at the Whitehouse? And, what Rap sensation will be performing that night? I am sure they are invited already and maybe Odumbass invited them 2 hours before they were notified about not being charged.
