Really wonderful news: US deportation case against Mosab Hassan Yousef dismissed

'Son of Hamas' Mosab Hassan Yousef, the most prolific informant Israel has ever had, will not be deported from the United States (Hat Tip: Republican Jewish Committee Headquarters via Twitter).
EMET has just received word directly from Mosab that the Government has officially dismissed its deportation case against Mosab Hassan Yousef at a federal detention center in San Diego.

Mosab has told us that it was thanks to the efforts of EMET that the government decided to dismiss its case and grant him political asylum.

EMET is enormously grateful to all those who played a part in standing with Mosab during this time, and helping the Department of Homeland Security come to understand what a grave error deporting Mosab would have been.

A special thank you is due to Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO), who authored a letter to DHS secretary Janet Napolitano, co-sponsored with 21 other Representatives. We wish to thank each and every representative who added their names to this call for sanity and to do right by a man who has stood up to terrorism and hatred, at a great personal cost.

Thanks also to former Ambassador R. James Woolsey, who also wrote a letter on Mosab’s behalf, and to all those who called, wrote, or emailed their congressional representatives and the White House on behalf of seeing justice done.
Finally some good news. Why and how things ever got to a deportation hearing is an examination left for tomorrow.

Well, thank G-d for that! I'm sure we all understand that Mr. Yousef would have been a dead man if he'd actually been deported. It really appears that it was only the huge political pressure put on the Dept. of Homeland Security that prevented it.

"Why and how things ever got to a deportation hearing is an examination left for tomorrow." Yeah, we'd all really like to know the answer to that one. Carl, thanks for publicizing this travesty and please keep us posted on any further info you get.

B"H, good news, but we must stay on the alert. Common sense doesn't rule.

Finally some good news. I'm very glad to hear that in the end sanity prevailed. That's such a rare occurrence anymore.

Sanity prevailed. Now about Islamic terrorist Ibrahim Parlak.

Good luck with getting him deported any time within the next decade.
