“If you don’t know history, it’s as if you were born yesterday. If you were born yesterday, then any leader can tell you anything.” - Howard Zinn, War and Social Justice, speech at Binghamton University on 8 November 2008.
September 10, 2021: “The judge overseeing the last two weeks of hearings and testimonies of Omar Ameen’s immigration case has been changed by the Department of Justice, sources close to the case told KCRA 3.
Ameen was the Sacramento refugee accused of being an ISIS leader and killing an Iraqi police officer in 2014.
Earlier this year, a Sacramento federal judge said there were major problems with the case against Ameen and refused extradition to Iraq.
However, the U.S. Immigration Department took Ameen into custody the day he was released and began proceedings to deport him, claiming he lied on refugee applications.
Sources told KCRA 3 Investigates that immigration Judge Scott Laurent, after weeks of hearings and testimony in the deportation case, is no longer the judge in the case.
The removal comes just two weeks after Laurent issued an order that was, in part, critical of the government’s case against Ameen.
In particular, Laurent was critical of the Department of Justice for wanting FBI agents to testify for the government, but not be cross-examined by Ameen’s attorneys.”
