I’ve marveled from time to time lately about the changes I’m seeing with media coverage of the US Refugee Admissions Program.
Granted they are tiny changes so far, but at least some media outlets are looking more carefully at a program that NO ONE questioned eleven years ago when I first began writing RRW.
In 2007 any story about refugees was one that evoked warm feelings about the poor, downtrodden and grateful people that nice church folks were welcoming to America.
I called those stories “refugees see first snow stories.”

Imagine my surprise today when I saw this editorial at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazetteabout the Iraqi refugee (alleged ISIS killer) being arrested in California.
The Arizona Daily Starhas posted a very detailed report on what happened in court in Tucson with the government’s case against a husband and wife team who allegedly had some relationship with Islamic terror group al-Shabab in Africa. See my previous post here.
Fraud, fraud and more fraud!
So much for Obama’s extreme vetting…..
How many more Somalis welcomed to the US are using more than one name?
I’ve snipped just a bit of the story below, but please read the whole thing. A few of the many things that interested me were:
~The pair (28 and 25 years old) it now seems have used various names and have FIVE children with one still in Africa. Is it a young boy they left for the terrorists to raise?
~They came to the US via China and they supposedly got to Beijing, China on $500 (5,725 mile 14 hour flight on $500?). And, why were we picking up random Somalis in Beijing?
~He (whatever his name is) lost his hands in a blast in a market, he says. Was he delivering a bomb that exploded prematurely? Or, perhaps making the bomb?
~The couple was getting ready to move to Minneapolis. What! to hide in the huge Somali community there?
I’m sure you will have even more questions when you read the whole story:
The warden was supposed to die! (Kurbanov told the court)
Fazliddin Kurbanov was already serving a sentence of 25 years on terrorism charges when he tried to kill the warden at California’s Victorville prison. The warden was seriously wounded and scarred for life from the improvised knife attack.
Thanks to Richard for spotting the story at Creeping Sharia.
Kurbanov is just one of many vetted refugees who have been found to have terrorist or criminal connections and the Trump Administration has been busy finding more as we have been reporting.
We have covered this case from Kurbanov’s arrest in 2013. We were especially interested in how so many radicalized Uzbek’s were being ‘welcomed’ to America as refugees.
Michael Patrick Leahy writing at Breitbartdid a thorough job of cataloging the chronology of lies told by alleged ISIS fighter turned Obama refugee—Omar Ameen.
From Breitbartyesterday (I saw it after I posted my short news item on the arrest, here)
And, btw, other news stories on the case only did a quick summary, while Leahy actually went to the court filings:
Iraqi Refugee, Alleged Islamic State Murderer, Arrested in California
The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested an Iraqi refugee in Sacramento, California on Wednesday on the authority of an arrest warrant for the 2014 murder of an Iraqi police officer issued by an Iraqi judge on May 16.
Ameen has a scheduled hearing on Monday in his extradition case—watch the courts save his ass!
“Omar Ameen, 45, an Iraqi national, wanted on a murder charge in Iraq, appeared before a federal magistrate judge in Sacramento, California today in connection with proceedings to extradite him to face trial in Iraq.
Ameen settled in Sacramento as a purported refugee and attempted to gain legal status in the United States,” the Department of Justice said in a statement released late Wednesday.
Court documents alleged that Ameen, who entered the United States from Turkey in November 2014 through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, led a four truck ISIS caravan to Rahwah, Iraq where he murdered the police officer on June 22, 2014.
[….]
Court documents presented on Wednesday outline what appears to be a highly sophisticated ruse by Ameen, who along with many members of his family has been a member of ISIS and its predecessor Islamist terrorist organizations since at least 2004, to gain approval into the U.S. Refugee Admissions program by making a number of false statements, and then use his approved U.S. refugee status as a getaway mechanism after carrying out the 2014 murder of the Iraqi police officer.
Leahy then goes through a series of lies told by Ameen that should have raised red flags if he had ever received any “robust” vetting as the Obama Administration and the refugee industry had been insisting was the case.
As we have reported on many occasions, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees does the first cut on the supposed screening of refugees to America.
In or about April 2012, Ameen arrived in Turkey and began the process of applying for refugee status.
Ameen claimed on his Resettlement Registration Form before the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (“UNHCR”) that in 2010, his father, Abdulsattar Ameen Hussein, was killed due to his cooperation with the American military. . . In actuality, the death certificate for Abdulsattar Ameen (which Ameen did not submit with any of his applications) indicates he died from natural causes—a cerebral clot—on December 25, 2010.
That is just one example of the shoddy screening this alleged ISIS fighter received.
Apparently James Comey was right about one thing when he told Congress in 2017 that the FBI was investigating US refugees for ties to terrorism. 300 he said! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2017/05/09/comey-fbi-looking-at-2000-cases-of-us-links-to-foreign-terrorists-300-are-refugees/
Perhaps most astounding is Ameen’s time line.
He was granted refugee status on June 5, 2014 even as he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Iraq for other ISIS terror-related activities. He returned to Iraq on June 22, 2014 and allegedly killed the police officer. Did no one even know he had left Turkey?
Five months later he was resettled in Sacramento by the Obama Administration.
Expect the whole story to disappear from the media within days because it flies in the face of the major refugee industry talking point that refugees are thoroughly screened.
By the way, four resettlement contractors were operating in Sacramento in 2014: International Rescue Committee, Church World Service, US Conference of Catholic Bishops and the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants. Wonder which one placed him.
One more thing…
Through the Obama years Turkey was one of the top countries processing refugees to the US, see here. Under President Trump, Turkey lost its significant role in sending us mostly Muslim refugees.
“There’s been nothing else like this, promoted anywhere in the United States which is a message in and of itself.”
(Minnesota resident Bob Carrillo)
But, it isn’t too late for Minnesotans and others to tell the powers-that-be at the US Bank Stadium that you object to the event—an event that celebrates the ritual slaughter of animals.
The Secret Plan of Muslims to Sneak Tens of Thousands Into the U.S. Bank Stadium for a Historic “Show of Power” in Minnesota
There is a secret plan to literally sneak fifty thousand Muslims into the Minnesota Vikings US Bank Stadium.
Feast of the Sacrifice…at US Bank Stadium? Yup.
Their own words not mine: “to show our unity and power”.
What is the Islamic event about?
Well it’s called EID AL ADHA – Feast of the Sacrifice.
About a week and a half ago we discovered this program being sponsored by some very interesting people and organizations.
Fifty thousand people – two day event on the 21st and 22nd of August at our Minnesota Vikings US Bank Stadium. That folks is tantamount to two Super Bowls back to back. We just had a Super Bowl here recently and capacity is between 60 and 65 thousand people! These folks have, in a very stealth fashion, invited 50 thousand people to be in the stadium on the 21st and 22nd – both days.
With a list of who’s who in the Islamist world in terms of Imams from Minnesota and from around the country as presenters.
[….]
This is the first of its kind and it’s massive. And Minnesota residents Minneapolis St Paul and the surrounding area are not prepared for this.
[….]
Call the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority at 612-332-0386 and demand, the operative word there, demand its cancellation.
Tomorrow!!!
Come to the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority Board Meeting on Friday, August 17 at 9 am and voice your position together with other citizens.
More here. See how secretive the organizers have been about the gathering.
See also the video accompanying the story. Honestly I couldn’t watch because the ‘celebration’ is about brutally sacrificing animals. BTW, where is PETA?
Wonder where the organizers will find 50,000 celebrants?
Just have a look at the numbers Conservative Review put togetheryesterday. We are admitting Muslims to the US by the tens of thousands annually through a variety of LEGAL immigration programs. Expect the construction of more mosques and events like this one!
