Egyptian national convicted of terrorism removed by ICE from the US
NEWARK – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers removed an Egyptian national Wednesday, who was convicted in 2015 of terrorism charges in the U.S. District Court at the Southern District of New York, to the United Kingdom.
On Feb. 6, 2015, Adel Abdel Bary, 60, was sentenced in a Manhattan federal court to 25 years in prison for conspiracy to threaten to kill, injure or intimidate and to damage or destroy any real or personal property by means of fire or explosives; threatening to kill, injure or intimidate and to damage or destroy any real or personal property by means of fire or explosives and for conspiracy to murder Americans.
On Oct. 9, 2020, following his early release from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Fairton, New Jersey, Bary was taken into ICE custody.
On Oct. 22, an immigration judge ordered Bary removed to the United Kingdom.
On December 9, Bary was handed over to United Kingdom officials in London without incident.
ICE focuses its enforcement resources on individuals who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security.
ICE deportation officers carry out targeted enforcement actions every day in locations around the country as part of the agency's ongoing efforts to protect the nation, uphold public safety, and protect the integrity of our immigration laws and border controls. These operations involve existing, established Fugitive Operations Teams.
Since Oct. 1, 2009, ERO has removed more than 1,700 foreign fugitives from the United States who were sought in their native countries for serious crimes, including kidnapping, rape and murder.
Members of the public who have information about foreign fugitives are urged to contact ICE by calling the toll-free ICE tip line at 1-866-347-2423 or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199. The public can also file a tip online by completing ICE's online tip form.
