Three more convicted terrorists learned their fate today in a Minneapolis courtroom. All admited to trying to leave Minnesota to fight for ISIS.
A federal judge sentenced Hamza Ahmed to 15 years in prison. He sentenced Hanad Musse and Adnan Farah to 10 years each.
Once again there were signs of obvious tensions at the courthouse. Judge Michael Davis began the day by warning everyone in court that anyone threatening anyone at the courthouse could face arrest. He underscored the seriousness of the case by reminding onlookers that the defendants were part of an active terror cell.
Hamza Ahmed was sentenced to 15 years in prison and 23 years supervised release on the terror conspiracy charge and a charge of student loan fraud. Ahmed had drained his federal student loan account to finance a trip to Syria. Ahmed apologized in the courtroom, saying “I refuse for this to be my legacy. I will come back and I will help my community.”
Hanad Musse was sentenced to 10 years and 20 years supervised release. He told the court, “I was reckless and selfish. I would tell young ones to stay away from terrorism. Don’t make the mistake I made. I am sorry.”
Also receiving a 10 year sentence and 20 years supervised release was Adnan Farah. His older brother Mohamed was found guilty at trial and faces a possible life sentence. Adnan Farah’s attorney Kenneth Udoibok said while his client received a long sentence, it’s still five years less than what prosecutors wanted.
“He will come out of prison with enough time for life, and to that extent I am grateful for the judge,” Udoibok said.
Farah’s mother Ayan also had words of support for the judge.
“Thank you so much. He gave [him] the low sentence for my son, and I appreciate it 100 times a day,” she said.
On Wednesday, Mohamed Farah, Adnan’s brother ,along with Abdirahman Daud and Guled Omar will be sentenced. They were all convicted not only on terror charges but conspiracy to commit murder. They’re facing up to life in prison
They may be here in Minnesota, but they sure are not my countrymen!
So, The Stupid State of MN takes in un-vetted ‘refugees’ willy-nilly.
Then, when they act TRUE TO FORM, they waste Taxpayer Dollars to convict them of crimes?
Got it. ;)
This is a start, but far more important in the unindicted terrorist who will be losing power in 66 days, and the tyrant wannabe whose lust for power has been frustrated.
Yes, and the “un-vetting” continues on.
Minneapolis and St. Paul.
“Proud Sanctuary Cities”.
Kick all these refugees out.
*There will be others to take their places.*
Yes, but it is still a small victory.
I thought they were arresting obama and the 2 Clintons
Is there a shortage of rope and lampposts in MN?
“Minneapolis and St. Paul. ‘Proud Sanctuary Cities’”.
If things hold, NOT FOR LONG!
‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ is a Sanctuary City, too. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting some blond-haired, blue-eyed burka-clad Idiot Wisconsin Chick towing a string of brown-ish babies behind her.
I am now 50 miles away and in another county.
Enough!
I’m surprised they didn’t get off with time served.
The first one sentenced this week got time served.
Send them to Gitmo to serve their sentences.
Can’t. Obie from Nairobi said he’s closing it down!
