DALLAS MASSACARE, #BLM TERRORIST
1.       Dallas Texas
-          4 Shooters (Daily Mail) – Micha used an SKS semi-automatic rifle
a.       Army reservist Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, who shot dead five cops at Dallas Black Lives Matter protest had bomb-making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition and a combat journal in his home. Identified as the man who shot 12 police officers, killing five, before being killed by a robotic bomb detonated by police after a four hour standoff. Two other suspects were taken into custody after fleeing the scene in a black Mercedes. An officer saw one of the pair hurriedly putting a camouflage bag in the back of the car before driving off 'at a high rate of speed'. A female, who was in the same area as Johnson, was also taken custody, however Chief Brown said: 'We still don't have complete comfort that we have all the suspects.'
b.      Johnson reportedly told law enforcement he was an Army veteran, acted alone and he was 'upset at white people'. While he professed a hatred for white people in his last words to a hostage negotiator, it appears his step-mother was white. Donna Ferrier Johnson, a teacher for Dallas schools, proudly shared pictures of her step-son in uniform to her page before the shooting.
c.       He told hostage negotiator that he wanted to kill white people - 'especially white officers'
d.      It has since been revealed that Johnson's stepmother, Dallas teacher Donna Johnson, is white

j.        He also liked pages for several pages related to the Nation of Islam, the Black Riders Liberation Party, the New Black Panther Party and the African American Defense League.
k.       Johnson also used to attend a gym called Academy of Combat Warrior Acts, which teaches weapons classes in addition to the traditional martial arts selection, according to the Daily Beast.  Gym CEO Justin Everman spoke out to the Daily Beast, saying many of the gym's members are police officers and 'we have completely no affiliation with [Johnson] whatsoever.'
l.         Lived on a quiet street with mother for years. Neighbor said he had lots of guns one time he knocked on everyones door looking for his stolen guns
m.    In the days leading up to the shooting, his sister Nicole wrote several posts about her frustration at the tense relationship between police and the African-American community. 'Man on life itself I'm beginning to trust law less n less. Come a yr from now everybody will need a gun for protection. Why is it the black get the harsh treatment like damn. Makes me so mad. When he decide we had enough n fight back smhh...' she wrote on July 6, responding to the death of Alton Sterling. 
-          1A Obama on Dallas
a.       1C Speaking in Poland, where he is attending a NATO conference, President Obama described the events in Dallas as a 'vicious, despicable and calculated attack'.
b.      He said America is 'horrified' over the shootings, claiming there is no justification for the attacks.
c.       He said: 'When incidents like this occur, there's a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if it's because of the colour of their skin, they are not being treated the same.

b.      On Friday, the Scranton speech and the event with Biden were scrapped, but Clinton is expected to speak about the events at a historically African-American church in Philadelphia Friday evening. It's an appropriate setting, her allies say, to discuss the current tensions the nation faces.

c.       "We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street," Trump wrote. "[W]e pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day."
d.      He also weighed in on the two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota who were fatally shot earlier this week by police officers, noting that their "senseless, tragic deaths" reminds the nation "how much more needs to be done." (While Trump called the two men "motorists" in his statement, one of the men -- Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana -- was not in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.)
e.      Trump canceled his scheduled trip to Miami, Florida Friday, according to a campaign statement.

Crowds of supporters, protesters growing as Trump returns to Texas for Dallas rally

www.star-telegram.com

John Rhodes showed up at Gilley’s nightclub around 10 a.m. today, determined to not miss his chance to see Donald Trump for a third time.

The Red Oak man said he wants to be at tonight’s rally for Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, to show his support.

“I think he’s what we need to turn this country around,” said Rhodes, who was at the front of the line of supporters waiting to hear Trump speak around 7 p.m.. “Our current administration has failed us in many ways.”

Rhodes is among thousands of North Texans — supporters and opponents alike — expected to swarm this popular nightclub to see the controversial New York billionaire and former reality TV star, who is bringing his road show back to the Metroplex.

This is Trump’s first political rally in Texas since becoming the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

His campaign has asked that people not bring “homemade signs, banners, professional cameras with a detachable lens, tripods, monopods, selfie sticks, back packs or large bags.”

While in town, Trump also is expected to attend a private fundraiser.

Anti-Trump protests are expected to kick off across the street from Gilley’s about an hour before Trump’s rally is to begin.

By 5 p.m., a few hundred Trump protesters had already gathered on either side of a 1,000-foot-long barricade outside Gilley's on Dallas' South Side.

Among them were Uzma Ali of Richardson and Maryellen Oltman of Plano, who said that so far they had only had one tense encounter with a Trump supporter.

"It was a woman wearing an American flag like a cape," Oltman said.

Ali added: "She said she was a Trump supporter then turned around and gave us the finger."

The group stood next to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema next door to Gilley's with messages such as "More Love, less hate," and "Dump Trump's racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, toxic ideology."

The women were part of an effort dubbed "Code Pink."

And with Trump rallies drawing large crowds and violence, Dallas police, who have been ramping up security, are out in force.

Although he didn’t make it to Texas in time for the state’s Republican Party convention last month, Trump’s visit coincides with the Texas Democratic Party’s convention that runs through Saturday in San Antonio.

“Donald Trump's message to the Latino community is clear: You are not American,” said Julian Castro, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary. “In Trump's America, Latinos wouldn't be welcome, our LGBT brothers and sisters wouldn't be able to marry who they love, and Americans would be discriminated against because of their religion.

“As Trump visits Texas over the next few days, let it be clear that his hateful rhetoric is not welcome in our community. Let it be clear that we will raise our voices against him in November.”

When Trump leaves North Texas, he’s heading to private fundraisers in Houston and San Antonio, as well as to a public rally Friday night at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center near Houston.

After Texas, Trump will go to Las Vegas and Phoenix, according to his schedule.

Trump sent out an email to supporters Thursday afternoon, noting that he kicked off his campaign one year ago today.

“While I am thankful for the phenomenal success we have enjoyed in the past year, it is just the beginning!” his email read. “I could not be more thrilled to be your presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee and to officially accept the GOP Nomination at the Convention in July.

“We must continue to strive towards beating Crooked Hillary in November and Making ALL of America Great Again!”

Venue dilemma

Rhodes, who attended earlier Trump rallies in Dallas and Fort Worth, said he voted for Trump in the March Texas primary.

“Anything is better than Hillary,” he said. “We know what she’s going to do.”

He and others who waited in line for hours at Gilley’s, where a marquee sign read “Trump 2016, Make America Great Again,” almost didn’t get to see Trump.

The presidential candidate’s quest for a DFW venue became a last-minute drama because it initially appeared he might not find a place to hold a rally.

Officials with several local venues — from the Fort Worth Convention Center to the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie to the Irving Convention Center — have said they didn’t have space or time to adequately ramp up security for such a high profile event.

Around noon Wednesday, Trump’s campaign announced that a public rally would be held at Gilley’s, a nightclub with a capacity of 3,600. This is the same site that hosted a political rally for then-Presidential candidate Ted Cruzbefore the March 1 primary election in Texas.

Dallas police closed some streets near Gilley’s because of the large crowds expected. They warned on Twitter that “delays can be expected in the area.”

Thursday’s rally was the first for Janet Evans, a 54-year-old Hurst woman who brought her 15-year-old and 28-year-old sons to the rally.

“I thought it would be a history-making thing,” she said. “Trump is a businessman, not a politician.

“It’s time to get somebody in (the White House) who knows how to run a huge business, a corporation,” she said. “Who hasn’t heard of Donald Trump?”

Protests/police

Protesters plan to turn out for a peaceful protest across the street from Gilley’s.

“Donald Trump can’t just come in to Dallas and think he’s going to be King Donald Trump,” said Carlos Quintanilla, president of the Dallas-based Accion America activist group who is helping lead the protest. “This needs to happen not only in Dallas, Texas, but ... anywhere Donald Trump goes ... (to protest) his hate and racism.”

Organizers asked people who are attending to wear white t-shirts and carry an American flag, but leave all wooden and metal poles, along with any weapons, at home.

Trump last spoke in Dallas in September before a crowd of around 15,000. In February, he held a rally in Fort Worth that drew thousands.

“We want a peaceful protest,” Quintanilla said. “We are mobilizing everyone. We are hoping to get thousands.”

Dallas police have been gearing up as well, training officers as recently as Wednesday on crowd management.

Officers had the opportunity to practice formations, as well as replace any equipment that has been broken or outgrown.

Trump last spoke in Dallas at theAmerican Airlines Center in September, drawing a crowd of around 15,000. In February, he held a rally in Fort Worth that drew thousands to the Fort Worth Convention Center days before the March 1 primary.

Eleven states sue over Obama administration's transgender directive

Transgender bathroom controversy continues

Texas and 10 other states filed suit Wednesday against the Obama administration over its directive on transgender student access to public school facilities, firing the first shot in what is likely to be a protracted and messy legal battle over that guidance. 

The suit was filed in a Texas federal court in response to the directive handed down to schools earlier this month that said transgender students should be able to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity. 

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the lawsuit at a Wednesday news conference, saying the directives represent an attempt by the administration to rewrite the law.

“This represents just the latest example of the current administration’s attempts to accomplish by executive fiat what they couldn’t accomplish through the democratic process in Congress," Paxton said. 

Joining Texas in the suit were: Alabama, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arizona's Department of Education, Maine Gov. Paul LePage, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Utah and Georgia. 

“Defendants have conspired to turn workplaces and educational settings across the country into laboratories for a massive social experiment, flouting the democratic process, and running roughshod over commonsense policies protecting children and basic privacy rights,” the lawsuit says. 

Conservative states had vowed to defy the federal directive, calling it a threat to the safety of students. Texas' lieutenant governor has previously said the state is willing to forfeit $10 billion in federal education dollars rather than comply.

"President Obama has excluded the voice of the people. We stand today to ensure those voices are heard," Paxton said.   

The directive from the U.S. Justice and Education departments represents an escalation in the fast-moving dispute over what is becoming the civil rights issue of the day.

While the letter does not have the force of law, it does warn that schools that do not abide by the administration’s interpretation of civil rights under the Title IX law may face lawsuits or loss of federal aid.

"There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement when the guidlines were announced earlier this month.

The guidance was issued after the Justice Department and North Carolina sued each other over a state law that requires transgender people to use the public bathroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificate. The law applies to schools and many other places.

Supporters say such measures are needed to protect women and children from sexual predators, while the Justice Department and others argue the threat is practically nonexistent and the law discriminatory.

Texas Republicans Inch Closer to Secession

Listen to Military Veteran Talk Radio iHeart.SmythRadio.com

www.motherjones.com

If the nationalists get their way, this November might be the last time Texans vote for a US president.

On Wednesday, the Platform Committee of the Texas Republican Party voted to put a Texas independence resolution up for a vote at this week's GOP convention, according to a press release from the pro-secession Texas Nationalist Movement. The resolution calls for allowing voters to decide whether the Lone Star State should become an independent nation.

Texas was, in fact, its own country for nine years before joining the United States in 1845, and while the idea of returning to independence has never been taken seriously by most people, it remains popular as a romantic notion and marketing hook. Lone Star beer is the "national beer of Texas." Texas Monthly is the "national magazine of Texas." In a 2009 rally, then-Governor Rick Perry hinted that the state could secede if "Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people." He later backed off of the idea. (Representatives of the state GOP and Texas Nationalist Movement could not be reached for comment.)

The Texas Nationalist Movement, once considered a quixotic fringe group, has added hundreds of members in the years since the election of Barack Obama. According to the Houston Chronicle's Dylan Baddour, at least 10 county GOP chapters are coming to the convention supporting independence resolutions. But this will be the first time in the state's 171-year history that they will actually vote on one. It's very unlikely to win. Then again, that's what people said about Donald Trump.

Trump dominates in Texas border town where proposed wall would be built

Listen To Military Veteran Talk Radio
www.theguardian.com
Cruz may have taken the state on Super Tuesday, but Trump’s wins along border prove he hasn’t been shunned by Latinos despite controversial immigration plan

A candidate who has described Mexicans as rapists and criminals and whose core immigration plan is to make Mexico pay for a giant wall ought not to prosper on the southern border. Yet Donald Trump was embraced on Tuesday by voters in America’s most Hispanic city.
Trump won almost 35% of the Republican primary vote in Webb County, where Laredo is the county seat, comfortably ahead of Marco Rubio (28.4%) and Ted Cruz (28.2%), the Hispanic senator from Texas who finished first in the state overall.
Not that it takes a lot of GOP votes to win here – only 4,089 were cast in the race, compared with nearly 26,000 among Democrats. Laredo is 96% Hispanic or Latino, according to the 2010 census, and it is hugely Democratic: Barack Obama won 77% of the vote in the county in 2012. In an unusual spurt of eloquence, twice-failed GOP presidential hopeful and former Texas governor Rick Perry once called the border the blueberry in the tomato soup: a speck of nutrition for Democrats in a Republican-dominated state.
Despite the limited GOP voter pool, it is notable – and jarring – that Trump should not only triumph here but generally perform better in border counties than in the Texas interior, where Cruz was in command. Aftersome small-scale polling at the Nevada caucuses, Tuesday’s outcome provided harder evidence that Trump has not been shunned by conservative Latinos. He may even have inspired them into action: he won more votes in Webb County than were cast in its primary in total in 2012.
One Trump voter in Laredo, who gave her name as Cindy, said he is popular with local elderly people who are “tired of the system”. Jon Melendez, president of the Webb County YoungRepublicans, speculated that Trump’s success owed something to Democrats voting for him because he would be easier for Hillary Clinton to beat in November. “In the fall, the Democrats will be absolutely energised to vote against him,” Melendez said.
Trump bested two Hispanic senators who have also talked tough on immigration, in Rubio and Cruz – though both have Cuban heritage, rather than Mexican or Central American, and there is resentment at a US policy that fast-tracks admission and residency for growing numbers of Cubans while migrants from other countries have far bigger hurdles to overcome.
That situation is one example of the complexities and contradictions here that elude the bombastic rhetoric and uncompromising immigration positions of the main Republican presidential candidates.

Laredo is a characterful place of bridges and barriers; of ramshackle little homes, pastel-coloured hole-in-the-wall taquerias and family-run auto repair centres, with a decayed downtown of thrift stores, sagging shoe shops, bright currency exchanges and buildings whose grandeur faded long ago.
Laredo’s small-town familiarity and stability is interspersed with with busy crossings, a railway bridge and an interstate highway that barges through the centre of the city to speed trucks northwards where the sprawl subsides into ranchland and flat emptiness and the roving white and green SUVs of the border patrol.
It is the largest inland port on the US-Mexico border, mentioned soon after Los Angeles and New York in scale of international trade. Its population is about 250,000, though the county is vast: two-thirds the size of the LA metropolitan area. It snuggles up to Nuevo Laredo, the more populous and notoriously violent Mexican city on the other side of the serpentine Rio Grande. Laredo’s biggest festival is a near month-long celebration of George Washington’s birthday with a jalapeño-eating contest as its highlight.
Laredo carries on its broad shoulders an irony shared with frontier towns across the world: that the governmental apparatus of scrutiny, suspicion and separation is at its most prominent, its most stubbornly wedged, between communities that have the most in common.
“We talk about security but we like to have a balance between security, legitimate trade and tourism so when somebody comes in and says ‘I want to build a wall and secure the border’ that goes contrary to our daily life that we have in Laredo,” said Henry Cuellar, a Democrat who is the district’s US congressman.
Erick Barroso is a 42-year-old corrections officer who votes for some Democratic candidates in local elections, depending on who’s running. Often, Democrats are the only names on the ballot. But he is leaning towards Trump in November’s general election.
“I don’t agree with the wall,” he said. “There’s a saying, if you build 20ft walls you’re going to sell 21ft ladders … They’re always going to find ways [to cross], a wall isn’t the perfect solution.” But he’s not seeing anyone else suggest a better idea right now.
While immigration measures naturally have the most profound and immediate impact on border-dwellers, Barroso’s reasoning for backing Trump could have come from one of his supporters in Pittsburgh, or Louisville, or Minneapolis. The rationale stems from personality, not policy.
“He’s strong and he’s very confident,” Barroso said. “I don’t support everything he says but a lot of the things, he’s not afraid to say it. I see that as a strong characteristic.”
Laredo experienced Trump’s self-belief and self-promotion up close last July when he paid a brief visit, a month after kicking off his campaign by claiming that Mexico is “sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

After an outcry, the local border patrol union rescinded its invitation to the candidate, though Trump came anyway – and was shown around by the city’s mayor, a Democrat. He portrayed himself as bravely trekking into dangerous territory, but crime figures suggest Texas’s border cities are some of the safest in the state.
Reports indicate there were more media and police than protesters. One of the demonstrators was Henry Rodriguez, of the League of United Latin American Citizens, who came down from San Antonio to heckle the tycoon. “We went and made a big old ruckus over there,” he recalled.
“The more he talks against immigrants, it seems like the more brownie points he gets. It’s sad because it’s kind of a mentality that still exists in this country, of haters.”
The 71-year-old is frustrated by the lack of empathy and nuance in the political discourse on immigration. “There are a good number of Republican Latinos, their parents came from Mexico or Central America or other places like South America, they really don’t care much about people that are coming over now. They’re saying they’re taking away resources from them,” he said.
“But the ones that come here want to better themselves and they’ll do anything, they’ll start off take lower wages than anyone, taking jobs nobody else will do.”
Melendez, a 30-year-old student and former marine, said that “a lot of us here see it day to day, there is an illegal influx of people coming from Mexico and that needs to be addressed. However, the tone and the rhetoric and everything else coming out of Donald Trump’s mouth has been counterproductive.”
“I can get behind somebody who wants to secure the border,” he added. “But I think that Trump has just been awful.” Before Tuesday night, that view would have seemed like conventional wisdom. But even in Laredo, demagoguery confounded demographics.

Texas Governor Introduces Groundbreaking Plan to Override Obama’s Tyranny

www.infowars.com

Texas Governor Greg Abbott made good on his promise to challenge President Obama’s gun control initiatives Friday, calling for a Constitutional Convention of US states to create several new amendments aimed at reasserting states’ rights.

Among nine proposed amendments, “The Texas Plan” aims to prohibit Congress from regulating activity that occurs wholly within one state. Another amendment requires Congress to balance its budget, and another allows a two-thirds majority of states to override a US Supreme Court decision.

"Congress is unable to control itself. So the people must impose control."@GregAbbott_TX #TXPO2016

— Texans for Abbott (@AbbottCampaign)January 8, 2016

“Congress is unable to control itself. So the people must impose control,” Governor Abbott said during a speech before the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Abbott explained that federal lawmakers were out of step with the “Constitutional principles” our Founders put in place, and urged other states to join Texas in helping to “fix the cracks in our Constitution.”

“The increasingly frequent departures from Constitutional principles are destroying the Rule of Law foundation on which this country was built,” Abbott said, specifically citing President Obama’s recent executive authorizations infringing on the Second Amendment.

“We are succumbing to the caprice of man that our Founders fought to escape. The cure to these problems will not come from Washington D.C. Instead, the states must lead the way. To do that I am adding another item to the agenda next session. I want legislation authorizing Texas to join other states in calling for a Convention of States to fix the cracks in our Constitution.”

Abbott’s declaration and 92-page proposal follows an appearance by the president in a televised town hall-style meeting hosted by CNN, in which the Commander-in-Chief attempted to convince Americans that executive orders infringing on the Second Amendment were a good idea.

Responding to the announcement, Abbott – a strong advocate for gun rights – promised, “Texas will take every action to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”

“The Bill of Rights was added as a specific safeguard to prevent the federal government from denying Americans those guaranteed rights,” Abbott said in apress release Tuesday. “Today, the President trampled the purpose and substance of the Bill of Rights by unilaterally imposing Second Amendment restrictions.”

The outspoken Republican governor made his intent to disobey executive orders imposed by the president clear over the weekend in a pointed tweet, challenging Obama to “Come and take it.”

UPDATE BREAKING: Two Middle Eastern Refugees Arrested In U.S. On Terror Charges — One from Syria

Two Middle Eastern Refugees Arrested In U.S. On Terror Charges — One from Syria

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

by JOHN NOLTE8 Jan 2016406

UPDATE: CNN is already lying about where these refugees came from. Although the Reuters report clearly states that one of the men “came to the United States in 2012 as a refugee from Syria,” the CNN chyron falsely claims both are from Iraq. 

Reuters is reporting that two Middle Eastern men who came to America as refugees were arrested in California and Texas on federal terrorism charges. One of the refugees is charged with aiding ISIS. Most importantly, although time again we have been assured and reassured by the White House and DC Media that the refugee screening process is near-perfect, both refugees are charged with providing false information about their ties to terror groups.

Here’s the kicker: one of the men, 23 year-old Aws Mohammed Younis, is a refugee from Syria who came to America in 2012.

If you recall, after the bloody and brutal terror attack in Paris late last year, Republicans demanded a pause in the Syrian refugee program. At least one the Paris terrorists used the refugee program to get into Europe.

Next year alone, President Obama is eager to re-settle at least 10,000 Syrian refugees here in America, on top of the hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern refugees he plans to bring in from all over. ISIS has vowed to seed Syrian refugees with terrorists, and the country itself has no database infrastructure to screen anyone and is awash in forged documents.

Nevertheless, for demanding a pause in refugees, Democrats and the DC Media attacked Republicans as bigots. “Meet the Press” spent a full hour comparing the GOP to Nazis. CNN’s Chris Cuomo compared those in favor of the pause to anti-Semites who turned away Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany.

The other man arrested, Omar Faraj Saeed Al-Hardan, is a refugee from Iraq.

As you might expect, in its report of this extremely disturbing news, Reuters and the Obama Administration bend over backwards to reassure us that neither man was “planning acts of terrorism in this country,” as though that’s a distinction with a difference when it comes to providing “material support” to ISIS.

One refugee from Syria, the other from Iraq, both Muslims, both charged with plotting with the very same Islamic savages who rape women, behead everyone, and are determined to kill as many Americans as possible.

And our government allowed them into our country.

And our media smears anyone who opposes that program as Nazis.

The female jihadist responsible for 14 murders in San Bernardino last month made her way into America after lying on her visa application.

Donald Trump wants to halt Muslim immigration until we figure out what’s going on

And he’s the one the DC Media is calling crazy.

Now stand back and prepare yourselves for the biggest media cover-up in years.

BREAKING: Muslim Refugees Arrested In ISIS Terror Plot In Texas And California

January 7, 2016

USHerald
How many muslim migrants will Obama let into this country until another catastrophic terror attack is carried out. These arrests are further proof that terrorist are among the migrants that are coming into America with plans to kill as many civilians as possible. Obama will never call these extremists what they are, Muslim extremists.
From KHOU:

Federal agents in Houston and Sacramento have arrested suspects in an ISIL-related terror plot, the Department of Justice has confirmed.
The U.S. residents were in contact with ISIL supporters overseas, according to the federal indictments.
The Houston suspect is 24-year-old Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan. He is a Palestinian born in Iraq who had lived in Houston for about a year. Sources say Al Harden became radicalized after moving to the U.S. in 2009. Al Harden is charged with one count each of attempting to provide material support to ISIL, procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and making false statements.
The indictment alleges that Al Hardan attempted to provide material support and resources, including training, expert advice and assistance, and personnel to a known foreign terrorist organization. According to the allegations, he also lied on his formal application to become a naturalized U.S. citizen by saying he was not associated with a terrorist organization. The indictment further alleges that during an interview in October 2015, Al Hardan lied and said he’d never received any type of weapons training, when he allegedly received automatic machine gun training.
The U.S. Attorney in California identified the Sacramento suspect as 23-year-old Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab. He’s accused of traveling to Syria to “take up arms with terrorist organizations.” He reported his actions on social media, according to authorities.
 “Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab allegedly traveled overseas to fight alongside terrorist organizations and lied to U.S. authorities about his activities,” said Assistant Attorney General Carlin.
According to the complaint, Al-Jayab is also a Palestinian born in Iraq, who came to the United States as an Iraqi refugee in October 2012. He has also lived in Wisconsin and Arizona.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for tougher restrictions on refugees entering the U.S. in a statement Thursday afternoon:
 “I applaud the FBI for today’s arrest of this dangerous subject. However, this is precisely why I called for a halt to refugees entering the U.S. from countries substantially controlled by terrorists. I once again urge the President to halt the resettlement of these refugees in the United States until there is an effective vetting process that will ensure refugees do not compromise the safety of Americans and Texans.”
