An Egyptian immigrant in the U.S. on a student visa is getting deported after making threatening remarks about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

According to the website Egyptian Streets, Emad El-Din Ali Mohamed Nasr El Sayed, was arrested three weeks ago after police say he posted a death threat against Trump on Facebook.

“I am willing to kill Donald Trump and serve a life sentence,” El Sayed said on Facebook. “[T]he whole world would thank me for doing that.”

It may or may not have been serious, but in any case it appears likely to cost El Sayed. He was arrested by local police Feb. 12.

While El Sayed initially faced a charge of making an illegal threat, authorities apparently decided to drop it and instead simply revoked his student visa. That means El Sayed will have to return to Egypt. Interestingly, authorities apparently based the revocation of his visa not on the threats, but on evidence that he had recently ended his enrollment at Universal Air Academy, a flight school in Los Angeles that he was attending.

Hani Bushra, one of El Sayed’s attorneys, told Egyptian Streets that the flight school was pressured to terminate El Sayed’s enrollment so that he could be deported. Bushra claimed authorities did so because the criminal case wasn’t strong enough.

“It is unfortunate that the immigration judge did not see that Emad’s placement in removal proceedings came after law enforcement failed to file and sustain criminal charges against Emad, and therefore resorted to punishing him in different way,” he said.

Another hearing will be held on the case March 4.

An Egyptian student at a Southern California flight school who was facing deportation for a Facebook threat against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will be allowed to leave the country voluntarily, an immigration agency spokeswoman said.

During a hearing Friday morning at U.S. Immigration Court in downtown Los Angeles, Judge Kevin Riley granted Emad Elsayed voluntary departure to return to his home country. He will be escorted by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Virginia Kice, an agency spokeswoman.

Elsayed remains in custody and must leave the United States in 120 days, she said.

His attorney, Hani Bushra, asked the judge to grant bond, which was denied. Bushra said his client felt that he had no other option than to leave the country voluntarily. He will return to Cairo where his family lives, Bushra said.

"He made a mistake he regrets," Bushra said. "He will regret it for a long, long time."

Elsayed, 23, was taken into custody Feb. 12 by ICE officers for allegedly violating the terms of his admission to the United States, Kice said.

Elsayed was arrested at a flight training school and is being held in an Orange County jail.

Elsayed posted an article on Facebook on Feb. 3 about Trump calling to ban all Muslims from entering the United States and the flight student included his own comment, Bushra said. In that comment, according to a court filing that sought to keep him in custody, Elsayed said he would not mind being sentenced to life in prison for killing Trump.

"You can't make a threat against a major presidential candidate, especially when you are a guest in this country," said Claude Arnold, retired special agent in charge of ICE Homeland Security Investigations in Los Angeles. "These things get investigated and taken seriously regardless of a person’s nationality or religious background."

Bushra said that the day after Elsayed's post on Facebook,U.S. Secret Service agents turned up at the flight academy where Elsayed had been training to become a pilot; the school owner had reported the Facebook comment to federal authorities. The agents questioned Elsayed about the post and it was obviously not a serious comment, Bushra said, noting that he could find thousands of similar comments on social media.

Elsayed's student visa was revoked after his flight school, Universal Air Academy in El Monte, withdrew its support for his visa, his attorney said. Without an educational institution's backing, a student loses that immigration status and can be kicked out of the country.

Bushra said the owner of the flight school has now signed a statement saying that he is willing to reinstate Elsayed, who came to the United States last September to study for a pilot's license and paid $41,000 in tuition, the lawyer said.

When Bushra tried to get Elsayed released from custody, the lawyer said, the government cited Elsayed's statement about Trump as evidence that he is a danger to society and should not be released. At this point, he said, his client wants to get out of jail and get back some of his tuition money.

A federal law enforcement source who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly said that when Elsayed was interviewed by a Secret Service agent, he did not withdraw the statement.

Secret Service officials declined to comment.

There has been heightened scrutiny of U.S. flights schools since some of the 9/11 hijackers who flew commercial airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon attended such schools before the attacks.

Alex Khatib, owner of Universal Air Academy, told the Associated Press that federal agents detained Elsayed and federal officials asked him to "terminate paperwork from the school that made the student eligible to study for a pilot's license."

Egyptian student who threatened Trump to leave US on July 5

An Egyptian student in the US has agreed to leave the country after authorities arrested him for a Facebook comment allegedly threatening to kill US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, according to the NBC news network.

At a hearing on Friday night, US immigration authorities said that Emad Eddin al-Sayed, 23, must return to Egypt voluntarily by July 5 or be deported.

Sayed, who has been studying at a flight school in Southern California, was originally arrested on February 12 in Los Angeles after reports of a Facebook post allegedly threatening to kill Trump.

NBC said Sayed was angered by comments made ​​by Trump on preventing Muslims from entering the United States and wrote a comment about it on Facebook on February 3, saying he was ready to kill Trump and that the world would thank him.

Sayed's lawyer Hani Bushra said the US authorities interrogated Sayed the day after he wrote his comment, and inspected his house and personal computer.

"He has to be escorted from jail directly to New York, where he will take the Egypt Air flight to Cairo," say Sayed's lawyer. "We are now trying to work on expediting this process as fast as possible."

The head of Universal Air Academy in El Monte has expelled Sayed, thereby invalidating his student visa for the United States, while immigration officials have declared him a danger to the community.

"He's just a student who said something foolish, and it's being taken way out of proportion," Bushra said earlier this week, according to NBC.

Bushra said that after an investigation it was decided not to bring criminal charges against Sayed, meaning that deporting him was an over-reaction.

However, the lawyer admitted that it was understandable that US authorities would be jumpy about such threats, particularly given that some of the alleged 9/11 hijackers were also enrolled at flight schools, NBC reported.

Earlier, Sayed's family had reacted angrily to his detention and potential deportation, particularly since it took them some time to discover where he was being held.

“Land of the free? Rights denied? What's the crime?” Ohoud al-Sayed, the student's sister, posted on her Facebook page."

"Supposedly the USA is the land of the free,” Ohoud said.

Try the middle east and see how much freedom you have there, instead of trying to exploit and abuse the freedoms here

I wonder what we really have averted with this one.
