On Wednesday, Moussa arrived at work in combat fatigues. On Thursday, he was fired, arrested and told he would be deported.
Moussa, 28, was charged with trespassing after refusing to leave Kay Chemical Co. on Capital Drive, Greensboro police said Friday. Company officials say Moussa loudly celebrated Tuesday's attacks and later distracted workers by dressing in combat fatigues.
After his arrest, Moussa admitted he is in the country illegally, according to Detective S.E. Sanders. Immigration and Naturalization Services will soon deport him to his home country of Niger, Sanders said.
Moussa was an employee of Key Resources, a local temp agency, and had been working in a Kay Chemical warehouse for about two weeks. He began taunting employees when he showed up for work Tuesday, Kay Chemical Vice President Steve Mosh said.
"It was incredibly inappropriate," Mosh said. "He said he was glad (the attacks) happened. He was gloating."
The next day, Moussa came to work dressed in combat fatigues. He was quickly told to go home. On Thursday, Key Resources fired him.
Moussa then told his employers that he wanted to come back to Kay Chemical to get his final paycheck. At the request of officials at Kay Chemical and Key Resources, police escorted Moussa back into the Kay Chemical. When he refused to leave, he was arrested, Sanders said.
Moussa never threatened Kay Chemical employees. Pam Medlin, owner of Key Resources, said Moussa's actions and clothing, however, made his co-workers feel threatened.
"I wanted him to know this is not tolerated in this country," she said. "You cannot say this. It is viewed as a threat."
Company officials were in compliance with the law when they fired Moussa, according to Deborah Ross, director of the ACLU of North Carolina.
"North Carolina is an employment-at-will state," she said. "You can be fired for your political beliefs by a private employer here."
Key Resources conducted a thorough background check on Moussa, but found nothing to indicate that he was in the country illegally, Medlin said.

I'd rather reflect on how tiny the tail lights of the plane are getting as they ship his butt back from whence it came.
Well said!
Many of us have been warning for years about how allowing in millions of immigrants from cultures that despise us was a mind-bogglingly insane thing to do, but the open-borders we-need-the(cheap)-workers crowd on the right and the hate-America multiculturalist liberals on the left allied to let 'em all in.
On a completely unrelated topic, I understand chemical plants are one of the more dangerous workplace environments.
Oh no it was not.
It was -- and is -- a perfect example of Absolutely-Evil genius at work.
The coldly calculated ploy of those who would destroy Our Fraternal Republic's very Foundations in order they might increase their unearned power over us all.
We call their organizations by such names as those used by the Communist Party of America and by such of that Evil gang's bastard offspring as are visible. To whit, the ACLU, NEA, ABA, Trial-Lawyers, AARP, the Roosevelt, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton "administrations," the vast organized-criminal enterprises AKA the "Democratic" party -- and [Including and in this context, perhaps especially; the Foreign Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service] the entire feral-gummint bureaucracy -- every key post in which is filled, owned, operated and controlled by a "Democratic" party activist -- and whose "employees" [Every one of whom takes Our Money and agrees to be Our "Trusted Servant"] are more than 90% Democrats!

This is your typical Clintonian Immigrant. Hates America, has no compunction about sticking his finger right in the wound, thumbing his nose at all of us.
Probably voted for Al Gore.
I couldn't agree more.
That is sooo heartwarming! To know the ACLU stepped right in to check out the employer's compliance with the law on this one.
However, it must be beyond pathetic to have a job where you rush to insure the rights of illegal immigrants hello, illegal immigrants aren't being violated when they act as enemies of your country.
