An Egyptian flight student is expected to appear in immigration court to determine whether he should be deported after being investigated by federal agents for posting threatening comments on his Facebook page about Donald Trump.
Emadeldin Elsayed, 23, (pictured), an aspiring pilot from Cairo, has a hearing scheduled before Immigration Judge Kevin Riley in Los Angeles
US Secret Service agents interviewed Elsayed about his post in early February, then returned to his Los Angeles-area flight school eight days later and told him federal prosecutors were not charging him with a crime but his visa had been revoked.
Immigration authorities then arrested Elsayed. He has been detained since February 12 at an Orange County jail. Elsayed wrote that he was willing to serve a life sentence for killing Trump and the world would thank him, said his lawyer, Hani Bushra.
Elsayed said he was angered by Trump’s comments about banning Muslims from travelling to the US, but never intended to harm anyone.- AP
