A Palestinian man in the US illegally was arrested in Houston for a firearms violation. Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, was in the United States on a non-immigrant visa that expired in 2019, which prohibited him from owning a firearm, Click 2 Houston reported.

Sohaib Abuayyash was allegedly planning to attack Jews in Houston before his arrest. He had studied bomb-making and had affirming statements online about killing Jews.

Abuayyash had also been taking a detailed look online at radical groups that condone violence which included bomb-making.

Per the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Texas:

A federal grand jury has returned an indictment against a 20-year-old Palestinian citizen for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

The charges allege Sohaib Abuayyash was an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States. He knowingly possessed a firearm, namely a Canik, model TP9 Elite SC, 9 mm pistol, according to the indictment.

The FBI arrested Abuayyash Oct. 19 who remains detained pending further criminal proceedings. He is set to appear for his arraignment Nov. 13 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Yvonne Ho in Houston at 2 p.m.

According to the criminal complaint filed upon his arrest, Abuayyash entered the United States on a nonimmigrant visa, which expired in 2019, and has allegedly been in direct contact with others who share a radical mindset. The charges further allege he has been conducting physical training and has trained with weapons to possibly commit an attack.

If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in federal prison as well as a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
The FBI is conducting the investigation.

Christina Bryan, who is a U.S. Magistrate looking at this case, ruled that he must be behind bars pending trial.

Abuayyash has also talked about martyrdom and he expressed interest in going to Gaza.

Federal investigators found video of him firing weapons at a shooting range. The firearms violation gave the FBI a good reason to arrest him while they investigated the online activity he was involved with.

This is a danger to our U.S. communities. When we allow people into the United States who don’t want to assimilate as Americans, this is the result. Until the Federal Government does something about our immigration policies, our country will always be under threat.

Illegal Alien Living in Texas Caught ‘Studying How to Build Bombs’ to Attack Jews

An illegal alien has been arrested in Texas after authorities caught the Jordanian national “studying how to build bombs” to launch a terror attack against Jewish-American people.

The illegal, 20-year-old Sohaib Abuayyash, was reportedly training to target Jews in a possible attack on U.S. soil.

The case was cited by FBI Director Chris Wray as an example of the increased risk of terror attacks in the United States.

“We’ve already seen that with the individual we arrested last week in Houston who had been studying how to build bombs and posted online his support for killing Jews,” Wray said during a congressional hearing this week.

FOX 26 reportedly confirmed from an FBI source that Wray was referring to Abuayyash.

Publicly filed court documents show Abuayyash was in the country illegally.

According to court documents obtained by the TV station, the Jordanian national first arrived in the U.S. as a minor on June 2, 2016, on a B2 tourism visa.

He left the country about two months later.

However, Abuayyash later returned to America illegally.

According to the report, he used false documents to enter the country before claiming asylum.

He was recently granted permission to work in the U.S. under Democrat President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.

“Using a Palestine passport, Abuayyash returned to the United States in June 2019,” FOX 26 stated.

“In January 2020, Abuayyash applied for an Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, which is still pending.

“In August 2023, Abuayyash was approved for an employment authorization in the United States, allowing him to work in the U.S. until August 1, 2025.

“Abuayyash’s immigration status doesn’t allow him to possess or use firearms or ammunition.”

Abuayyash was arrested in the Houston area in October for unlawful possession of a firearm, according to federal court documents.

A public defender for Abuayyash declined to comment to Fox News Digital.

He previously allegedly posted several images and videos of him training with firearms on social media accounts.

According to CBS News, the judge’s order that detained him states that he hopes to fight in support of the terrorist group Hamas.

Abuayyash “has made statements that he wants to go to Gaza to fight,” the judge noted.

Meanwhile, Wray revealed Tuesday that the FBI is not currently tracking any credible threats against the U.S. from terrorist groups.

“Here in the United States our most immediate concern is that violent extremist individuals or small groups will draw inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks against Americans going about their daily lives,” Wray said, according to Houston Public Media.
