Shabbir Ahmed, 38, the former Lodi Islamic spiritual leader who was arrested on immigration violations during a federal terror probe in Lodi, California arrived in his home country of Pakistan. Ahmed was among five men netted in a federal investigation into suspected terrorist links within the Lodi, California Muslim community. Ahmed and another Lodi imam, Mohammad Adil Khan, and Khan’s son, Mohammad Hassan Adil were arrested on immigration offenses and also eventually agreed to be deported. Unsurprisingly, Khan and his son arrived in the eastern Pakistan city and Islamic hotbed of terrorists of Lahore in mid-August and reportedly were questioned by that country’s authorities before being allowed to go home to Karachi.Ahmed was escorted by immigration officers back to Pakistan last Friday on a commercial flight, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice. The announcement was made Monday.
Ronald E. Le Fevre said in a statement that Ahmed’s “removal sends a strong message that Immigration and Customs Enforcement will continue to use every tool at its disposal to preserve the integrity of our immigration system and prevent foreign nationals from conducting activities within our borders that pose a threat to this country.”

The Lodi group of men suspected of plotting terrorism inside the U.S. are now free in their native country, living again among Islamic fundamentalists and unencumbered by scrutiny of U.S. federal authorities. Like many who have been released from Guantanamo Bay, it is likely that they will again pop back up on the radar screen, continuing their Islamic terrorism agenda to kill non-Muslims. After all, there is the old saying that a leopard does not change its spots.
I think this is just crazy to deport these people. Shouldn’t they be tried and inprisoned so they cannot cause us harm? It seems obvious to me.
