Foreign national charged with firearms violation Friday, November 3, 2023 For Immediate Release U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Texas HOUSTON – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment against a 20-year-old Palestinian citizen for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

The charges allege Sohaib Abuayyash was an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States. He knowingly possessed a firearm, namely a Canik, model TP9 Elite SC, 9 mm pistol, according to the indictment.

The FBI arrested Abuayyash Oct. 19 who remains detained pending further criminal proceedings. He is set to appear for his arraignment Nov. 13 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Yvonne Ho in Houston at 2 p.m.

According to the criminal complaint filed upon his arrest, Abuayyash entered the United States on a nonimmigrant visa, which expired in 2019, and has allegedly been in direct contact with others who share a radical mindset. The charges further allege he has been conducting physical training and has trained with weapons to possibly commit an attack.

If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in federal prison as well as a possible $250,000 maximum fine.

The FBI is conducting the investigation.

An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence. A defendant is presumed innocent unless convicted through due process of law.

Another illegal immigrant problem. Why do we spend money that we do not have on giving these POSs so-called justice. Just push him out the ramp on the next C-17 flying over Gaza, sans parachute of course.

Now come on. At least a parachute canopy made of toilet paper

Canik’s 9mm TP9 line copied from the Walther P99 and made in Turkey.
For concealed carry...

Safe to say he was in Turkey before intruding here

That’s an okay gun.

I’ve thought of getting one.

Translation: FBI told a gun store to do a sale so they could pretend they interdicted a terror plot.

There is no nation of Palestine, and there is no such thing as a “Palestinian citizen”.

The Arab "Palestinian" from Jordan posted threats too. BTW, 70% of Jordanians are Arab "Palestinians."

Although our DOJ has been corrupted to the very top, or tippy top, there are veins of Justice which have not been corrupted and will not be.

Cases will be established on which all others will be prosecuted.

When they see these and other future events, most illegal aliens will return to their home countries of their own volition.
