Immigration officials began court proceedings Thursday to deport a Sacramento man to his native Iraq, where he faces trial, and most likely execution, for a terrorist murder that a federal magistrate says he didn’t commit.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement accuses Omar Ameen, who was granted U.S. refugee status in 2014 as a target of persecution and terrorist threats in Iraq, of defrauding the government by lying about his own alleged terrorist connections. Despite the magistrate’s findings, government attorney Sean Kersten told an immigration judge Thursday that Ameen “poses a danger to the community and a high risk of flight” if released on bond during the court proceedings.
