Islamic Fund Raiser Deported 

This is something Canada could take a lesson from, what with it harboring fundraisers for Hamas and the Tamil Tigers.

Beware the pop-ups and pro-marijuana ads for this link from the NYT:

A federal immigration judge on Tuesday ordered a former fund-raiser for a prominent Islamic charity to be deported, saying his activities posed a threat to national security.

The judge found that the man, Abdel Jabber Hamdan, who has lived in Orange County for more than 20 years, knew or should have known that the money he raised for the Holy Land Foundation was being used to support terrorism. The government contends that the foundation has funneled more than $12 million to Hamas and other Palestinian organizations that the United States considers sponsors of terrorism.

The immigration judge, D. D. Sitgraves, ordered Mr. Hamdan, 44, who has been in custody since last summer, deported. But Judge Sitgraves said he could not be sent to Jordan, where he was born in a Palestinian refugee camp, because he would be at risk of torture by the Jordanian government because he has been accused by the American authorities of terror-related activities.

The benevolent U.S. is still protecting the best interests of this man, despite his transgressions. That's rather big-hearted of a government that is accused by the left of being Nazis.

Mr. Hamdan's eldest daughter, Yaman, 20, said on Tuesday that she believed that the government was pursuing the deportation order as a way to pressure her father.

"They're trying to get him to talk about the H.L.F., even though he doesn't have that information," said Ms. Hamdan, a pre-law student at Chapman University in Orange, Calif. "They're holding him on a visa violation that's more than 20 years old because they want him to provide the evidence against the others."

William B. Odencrantz, a senior lawyer at the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said he was pleased with Judge Sitgraves's order, although he said the government might appeal her ruling that Mr. Hamdan not be returned to Jordan.

"We're pleased the evidence we presented convinced the judge that Hamdan knew or should have known that the money he was raising as a paid employee of the Holy Land Foundation was destined for a terrorist organization that engages in atrocities and human rights violations such as suicide bombings and killing innocent people," Mr. Odencrantz said.
