Old Dominion University shooter ID'd as likely jihadist

I posted about a reported shooter at Old Dominion University, here, that wounded two people and ended the shooter's life. We now know the identity of the shooter and yes, his first name begins with the letter "M."

The shooter, Mahamed Jalloh, was previously convicted of supporting ISIL [who the kids often refer to as ISIS].

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was arrested back in 2016, per the Department of Justice press release, for "attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)." 

According to the complaint, Jalloh is alleged to have attempted to provide services by assisting in the procurement of weapons to be used in what he believed was going to be an attack on U.S. soil committed in the name of ISIL. In addition, the complaint alleges that Jalloh attempted to provide material support to ISIL by providing money to assist in the facilitation of individuals seeking to join ISIL.

This guy, a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone, reportedly made multiple trips overseas trying to link up with ISIL directly. He ended up pleading guilty and getting slapped with an 11-year sentence in 2017.

Fast-forward, and under the Biden administration, he walks free in 2024.These are all excellent questions. Why wasn't he deported after serving time for trying to arm up for a domestic terror attack in the name of a foreign terrorist group? Why was this would-be jihadist released back into American society?

We do not have to live like this.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to keep the Department of Homeland Security shut down in a push to defund the agency and abolish ICE, because apparently, securing the homeland and deporting threats like this is just too mean-spirited for the progressive playbook.
