From Fox News: An illegal immigrant from Afghanistan previously convicted of trying to kill his teenage sister for being a “bad Muslim girl” was arrested, authorities said.
Waheed Allah Mohammad, 39, was taken into custody on Jan. 1 in Rochester, New York, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Monday.
Mohammad was convicted of first-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and five years of supervision.
In 2008, Mohammad stabbed his sister several times during an argument where he called her a “bad Muslim girl.” He said she disgraced his family by dressing immodestly and frequenting nightclubs.
The report explains that Mohammad originally came to the U.S. legally on May 24, 2004. At the time he would have been around 16 or 17 years old. However, after he tried to kill his sister and was convicted of attempted murder in February 2009, that violated the terms of his legal status. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 5 years of post-release supervision.
ICE Buffalo entered Mohammad into removal proceedings in April 2009, and on May 31, 2012, a Justice Department immigration judge ordered Mohammad deported from the United States.
ICE Buffalo officers arrested Mohammad Jan. 1 in Rochester and took him into custody. Mohammad will remain in ICE custody pending his removal from the U.S., ICE stated in a press release.
