(NY Post) It took nearly a year for a Lebanese illegal migrant who arrived under the Biden administration and admitted that he’s a Hezbollah terrorist hoping “to make a bomb” to get his deportation papers, Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the Post Monday.
Now, the Trump administration is working to finally boot him from the country.
New York-bound migrant Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, admitted his ties to the terrorist group and ambitions when he was captured by border agents in El Paso, Texas, on March 9, 2024 — and was immediately held in federal custody.
During a medical screening in a processing center, Ebbadi was asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied, “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” according to a Border Patrol document previously obtained by the Post.
