Illegal Jordanian Palestinian Citizen in Texas Accused of Plotting to Attack Jews
“We have seen that with an individual we arrested last week in Houston had studied how to build bombs and posted online about his support for killing Jews.”
A federal grand jury indicted Sohaib Abuayyash, a Jordanian Palestinian citizen illegally in the U.S., for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Abuyyash, who came to America on a nonimmigrant visa that expired in 2019, allegedly wanted to attack Jews.
The TikTok video says “airsoft guns,” but that is not true.
Authorities found Abuyyash with “a firearm, namely a Canik, model TP9 Elite SC, 9 mm pistol.”
FBI Director Christopher Wray mentioned Abuayyash in his Senate testimony:
During his testimony on Tuesday before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security, where he discussed threats to the country, FBI Director Christopher Wray referenced Abuayyash, although he did not use his name.
“We have seen that with an individual we arrested last week in Houston had studied how to build bombs and posted online about his support for killing Jews,” Wray said during his testimony.
He said the most immediate concern to the country is violent extremists who draw inspiration from events in the Middle East and plan attacks on Americans. Wray referred to Abuayyash as one.
But hey. We need to concentrate on Islamophobia according to the Biden administration! You know, not the blatant anti-Semitism plaguing the country because anti-Jews blame Israel for Hamas invading the country, slaughtering thousands and kidnapping hundreds.
Abuayyash entered America on June 2, 2016, on a B2 tourism visa. He left two months later.
Abuyyash returned in June 2019 with a Palestinian passport. He then “applied for an Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, which is still pending,” in January 2020.
In August 2023, the government approved Abuyyash “for an employment authorization in the United States, allowing him to work in the U.S. until August 1, 2025.”
Here’s what charging documents say about the defendant.
- In August, FBI agents saw social media videos of him at a firing range shooting an AR-style rifle and later a handgun. The videos, posted on TikTok and Instagram, prompted a wider investigation and led agents to a pair of Houston-area gun ranges.
- Further investigation linked Abuayyash to “others who share a radical mindset” and determined he had been “conducting physical training, and has trained with weapons to possibly commit an attack,” the charging documents allege.
- Investigators said he has “viewed specific and detailed content posted by radical organizations on the internet including lessons on how to construct bombs or explosive devices; and that Defendant has made statements to others that support the killing of individuals of particular religious faiths.”
- The complaint called the federal probe a “national security investigation.”

Open borders biden, Dementia Joe is the useful idiot of islamic terrorists.
smh
While he is an idiot on a good day, with a downhill run, and a blazing tailwind; he is more of an active accomplice than you imply.
Subotai Bahadur
These people are so dumb that even when they study, they often blow up themselves and even their neighbors. Work accidents, evolution in action.
I don’t think they’re dumb. I think they are brainwashed. I don’t think there is a cure.
Before I forget: no human being is illegal. /s
As a group, they fall slightly over one standard deviation lower IQ than whites. The are not the best and brightest, and they sure as hell do not belong in America.
No Jew Hunting Allowed–but it is legal to hunt illegal terrorists.
Welcome to Texas.
The problem with putting someone like this in prison is that they will radicalize other prisoners. How about capital punishment for illegal terrorists?
I’d settle for tying him to a chair and throwing him out an 8th floor window. After all, if it’s good for the goose, it’s …
Send them halfway home and then let them swim the rest of the way
I’m for sending him all the way home. Just no need to land the airplane.
That is what needs to happen in Palestine, drive them to sea and let them swim. In all seriousness, what can you do about their criminal insanity? No one wants them, rightfully so.
Nobody in the muslim world wants their trouble. NOBODY. That’s why they are kicked out of Egypt, Kuwait, Iran and others. Their only use is to be used as proxies by nations hostile to Israel.
Is there a tag limit?
A bounty on illegals makes sense.
He was training at Texas gun ranges, and Texans at those ranges didn’t notice his Jihad beard or his green card status. Its like Saudi men learning how to fly, but not land planes in flight simulators.
His “jihad beard”? Lots of folks have beards like this. It’s been a trend the last 20 years.
And how the hell would they know his green card status? Texas has probably given him a DL.
Maybe it is time beards go out of style?
Remember — as the vile and evil Dhimmi-crats perennially lecture us, alleged “Islamophobia” is the real problem; not Islamofascist Jew-hate, Christian-hate and Hindu-hate, committed by goose-stepping Muslim supremacists and terrorists.
The seething hatred of the antisemites is something to behold. Hard to fathom where it comes from, but for many it’s not from lived experience.
The Imam in Maryland is a work. Hardly different from the Hamas lunatic that threatens multiple October 7s, or those brave men Meshal and Nasrallah. Bet they wear Burkas when they go out.
Every person admitted should have to have a Sponsor who is responsible for them, financially by providing housing, medical care, food, IOW they become a Ward of the Sponsor. In addition the Sponsor should be required to post a bond say $50K that is automatically revoked, no discretion, the first time their Ward doesn’t show for a scheduled hearing/session either in person or teleconference. Every person admitted should be under the equivalent of a sort of soft probation, subject to random drug tests, the occasional unannounced visit and at home last quarterly review/check in with immigration.
How about we don’t let them in the country in the first place?
But there is also an insatiable need by Democrats to get new voters, regardless where they come from.
I think one day soon, there will be a reckoning.
If you can swing that sure, works for me. I don’t see that happening in the near future. Even Trump, the most pro border security POTUS since Eisenhower didn’t propose zero immigration.
You are so correct Chief. But a guy can have a dream can’t he? Even if it’s a pipe dream!
Best to you. Your commentary is enjoyable.
No worries. If we had a blank slate to design an immigration system it would be much easier. I don’t really disagree with you but the political reality is such that what I proposed is probably as strict as we can get and is almost certainly a pipe dream as well.
When I comes to the Middle East, there should not be any immigration, too many liabilities.
Israel is in the Middle East. So’s Cyprus.
The key isn’t so much where these folks come from but what their history is and what ideological views they hold. IMO, If they can’t prove they:
1. Are law abiding
2. Don’t support terrorism and/or goals of terrorist groups
3. Don’t hold views/ideology that are incompatible with Western culture
We should not grant admission to those sort of folks. Especially considering the abandonment of official efforts and societal pressure to assimilate.
Remember. When they take away guns from honorable citizens, only criminals will have guns.
I prefer that people like Abdul al Killajew above not be the only one with a weapon.
Not that long ago this bastard would not still be alive
So, all he needs to do is go to Mexico and then walk across the border. He might even get some extra money out of it.
…. and an apartment, food stamps, a cell phone, welfare payments, free health care, legal representation, and a host of other goodies.
Pretty sure airsoft guns don’t throw brass like that.
One Muslim with a firearm. Lone wolf, religion of peace, not representative of the entire Muslim religion.
One Muslim country paragliding into Israel, killing and mutilating women and children. Religion of peace, pushing off the oppressors, defenders of faith.
One white gunman defending himself on the streets of Milwaukee. Murderer, white supremacist, hate crimes, all white males are bad, GUN CONTROL!!!!!
Excellent
Illegal Jordanian Palestinian Citizen
Say what? How is someone an illegal citizen? Do you mean to say:
“Jordanian Citizen Illegally In The US”?
In English, “Illegal” in that headline modifies “Citizen”.
You’d think that, after the fiasco at the art show in Garland, the feds would know not to try to start another terrorist attack.
