Father of Fort Dix suspects arrested on immigration charges
Posted by jappezza May 10, 2007 19:08PM
The father of three men charged in the foiled Fort Dix terror plot was arrested this week on immigration violations and is in federal custody, two law enforcement sources said today.

Ferik Duka, the father of Eljvir, Dritan and Shain Duka, is being held pending a hearing, the said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Duka's wife, Zurata, was also issued a summons but was not taken into custody because the couple has a 16-year old son.

Federal investigators have found no evidence linking the parents to the alleged plot to kill soldiers at Fort Dix. But, the source said of the parents, "You can't ignore the fact that they are here illegally."

The Duka family entered the United States illegally through Mexico in October 1984, according to the sources. In 1989, Ferik Duka made an application for asylum with the Immigration and Naturalization Service and acknowledged the family's illegal entry into the country.

Nobody in the family was ever given legal residency status, the sources said. It was unclear why the Duka's had not been charged with immigration violations earlier.

Federal prosecutors have described the Duka brothers as Islamic radicals and illegal immigrants but disclosed no other details about their residency status or that of their family. Adam Puharic, a spokesman for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, declined to comment Thursday afternoon, citing an ongoing investigation.

This is just how effecient our government is in both keeping illegals out of America and then keeping track of them once we know they are here illegally. This is just how the government would perform if they were to see that all the illegals wanting citizenship studied English and American History and all the other nonsense the government claims they would do to become good American citizens. We DON"T have any means to monitor 20 million illegals. All we can do is get them the hell out of our country.....NOW.

Entered from Mexico!!!

No telling how many OTM's have come across the border and some undoubtedly with bad intentions!

Infuriating how our border is so porous especially after 9/11!!!

Duka's wife, Zurata, was also issued a summons but was not taken into custody because the couple has a 16-year old son.

Why is he breastfeeding and they are afraid he might get dehydreated?

I found only this one story on this. Watch how this story will be totally burried in the MSM.

If they wanted political assylum, why did they wait 5 years to apply for it? Why didn't they apply right away?

Nope, PAF. She's busy nurturing another little terrorist who happens to be a US citizen!

I'd say for the same reason the other 30 million illegal aliens haven't been charged-government, businesses, churches & groups who continue to help illegals.

Because we have a government that doesn't take it's responsibilities seriously. That is a fact that can't be denied.
