Cop accused of lying about citizenship to join FBI
San Antonio Express-News ^ | June 6, 2011 | Guillermo Contreras

Posted on 06/07/2011 2:18:50 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

........The Iranian-born officer, now a U.S. citizen, was taken to federal court in San Antonio late Friday on a charge of making false statements about his citizenship to get a job in law enforcement. He was released on $50,000 unsecured bond following a hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge John Primomo. If convicted, Amrollah could face up to five years in prison.

........The FBI claims Amrollah lied about his U.S. citizenship in applications to be a jailer, a police officer and, most recently, an FBI agent. In April 2010, the affidavit said, Amrollah e-mailed the FBI expressing interest in attending WMD training, and about joining the JTTF.

In May 2010, he e-mailed again “stating he would be a good asset for the JTTF due to his language abilities and connections he had to the local Persian community,” the affidavit said.

“Sensitive positions with the U.S. government are taken very seriously and any attempt at being deceptive to gain access to these positions is going to be pursued,” said special agent Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio.

The affidavit said Amrollah was born in Iran in 1981 or 1982. In July 1998, when about 16, he was caught by the U.S. Border Patrol crossing illegally from Mexico with his parents and a juvenile sister. The family later applied for asylum, and their request was granted in September 1999, the affidavit said.

He obtained legal permanent resident status on Oct. 5, 2004, and on Feb. 25, 2010, Amrollah became a naturalized U.S. citizen — more than a month after his most recent application to the FBI, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit said the FBI found Amrollah applied multiple times to various positions within the FBI starting in 2000, and “a comparison of the applications indicated discrepancies and/or false statements.”

Thanks Cincinatus' Wife.
The Iranian-born officer, now a U.S. citizen, was taken to federal court in San Antonio late Friday on a charge of making false statements about his citizenship to get a job in law enforcement... lied about his U.S. citizenship in applications to be a jailer, a police officer and, most recently, an FBI agent. In April 2010... e-mailed the FBI expressing interest in attending WMD training, and about joining the JTTF... e-mailed again "stating he would be a good asset for the JTTF due to his language abilities and connections he had to the local Persian community," ...was born in Iran in 1981 or 1982. In July 1998, when about 16, he was caught by the U.S. Border Patrol crossing illegally from Mexico with his parents and a juvenile sister... obtained legal permanent resident status on Oct. 5, 2004, and on Feb. 25, 2010, Amrollah became a naturalized U.S. citizen -- more than a month after his most recent application to the FBI...
Hey -- with Zero at the helm, this guy would have sailed right through if he'd been wearing a bandanna made of cloth torn from an old pillowcase and some jihadist tattoos.

Interesting that they came here illegally from MEXICO... and some people think our boarders are safe? I wonder how many other people are employed and the government agency never fully checked during the application process and how many Middle Easterners simply walk over via Mexico. This is scary stuff!

How is his behavior any different than a spy who is trying to work his way into a highly sensitive position in law enforcement or intelligence? It isn't.

Throw him in prison for a good long time, revoke his citizenship and kick his butt out of the country, along with his entire family.

After Obama and his traveling sideshow is evicted from the Whitehouse and the new POTUS takes command and control I bet Obama will go on a non stop tirade telling everyone how he worked the system, worked the votes and conned his way to be POTUS.

We all know he failed to qualify and with his narcissic ego he will rooster on about it forever about how he made America to be the nation of fools.

I really will bet on it.

In the meantime, babies and grandmothers and those who DON’T want their crotches examined by strangers, are the focus of Homeland Security.

It’s crazy. As U.S. citizens, we have given up so much of our freedom and for what? Other people from third world despots. Their “freedoms” are more important to our Government.

The pattern of giving up our rights to have "safety" is being sped up.

With respect to illegals and fear from those being here to harm us, we are also becoming a country more likely to stay home bound. IMHO. For example, we will seriously consider going to a museum, a public outing etc... for fear of a possible attack. I know that is exactly what the terrorists want but living close to D.C. makes one think before just jumping in the car.

Somebody ought to tell Barry.
