Former Iraqi Refugee in US Admits to Providing Material Support to ISIS

A shocking revelation has come to light regarding Abdulrahman Mohammed Hafedh Alqaysi, a 28-year-old Iraqi national who had been granted legal permanent residence in Texas after receiving refugee status. Alqaysi, who had previously been living in the United States as a refugee, has entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS, according to the US Justice Department.

Alqaysi's involvement with ISIS began several years ago, when he developed and posted logos for the terrorist organization on social media platforms. These logos were later used by ISIS fighters, indicating a level of complicity on Alqaysi's part. For five years, from 2015 until 2020, Alqaysi continued to provide material support to ISIS, using his knowledge of technology to send instructional videos to members on how to hack computers, steal credit card information, and construct fake documents.

Alqaysi was charged alongside his cousin Mohammed Amer Faisal Al Qaysi, 26, another former Iraqi refugee. Hami Jamshid, a 32-year-old individual who goes by the name Jamshid Ahmadzai, also faces charges related to providing false statements in their naturalization applications.

Alqaysi's actions have significant implications for national security and public safety. His ability to provide technical support to ISIS has likely contributed to the group's ability to carry out attacks and disseminate propaganda. The consequences of his actions will be felt for years to come, as law enforcement agencies work to prevent future terrorist activities.

Alqaysi faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. His sentencing is scheduled for June, when he will face the full weight of his actions. The other individuals involved in this case also face serious penalties, including Jamshid Ahmadzai, who was charged with three counts of making false statements in their naturalization applications.

Alqaysi's guilty plea serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and cooperation between law enforcement agencies. The US Justice Department's efforts to combat terrorism and protect national security will continue unabated, thanks to the bravery and dedication of those who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.
