ICE scoops up an actual Somali pirate who'd been let in through Joe Biden's open border
[AmericanThinker] Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....
's open border brought all the world's riff-raff to our doors and it's a logical thing that it did: If you know you can't get into the U.S. the legal way, and you aren't big on laws anyway, and the U.S. was letting all comers in as 'asylum seekers,' the time to go was then. So in addition to all the terrorist watchlisters, home invasion burglary rings, Chinese spies and saboteurs, Mexican cartel human smugglers, pro-Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
agitators, and garden variety thieves, killers and rapists, the Department of Homeland Security picked up yet another problem from Joe Biden's open borders: An actual Somali pirate.

Via Power Line blog, here's the Department of Homeland Security's tweet of its latest catch:



That would be these guys, portrayed by master actors in the movie, Captain Phillips, based on a harrowing real-life incident.



According to the Department of Homeland Security:

WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers arrested Said Jama Ahmed, an illegal alien from Somalia, who faces an outstanding arrest warrant for violations of falsely making, using, and forging a passport and for a positive fingerprint match to a 2012 national security threat with ties to Somali piracy.

“Weak Biden Administration border policies allowed this illegal alien to enter and remain in the country despite his multiple law enforcement encounters,’ said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. ‘We are thankful for our hardworking U.S. CBP officers and Canadian officials for their cooperation in arresting this individual. DHS will continue to work to arrest criminal illegal aliens to protect the American homeland from all threats.”

On the night of April 14, an off-duty Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer first reported Ahmed and observed him walking southbound while carrying a backpack several miles north of the U.S.-Canada border. Two hours later, a U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Agent spotted Ahmed and confronted him and placed him into CBP custody.

USBP currently holds him in the District of North Dakota for illegal entry.

Ahmed has a long record of United States military and law enforcement encounters. On March 10, 2012, the U.S.S. Halsey responded to a distress call from an Indian-flagged ship reporting that pirates had hijacked it in the Gulf of Aden.

A Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) team conducted boarding operations and encountered Ahmed and nine other armed pirates who had taken the Indian ship hostage by force, where the Navy then logged Ahmed’s fingerprint.

Ahmed first entered the United States in September of 2022 near San Luis, Arizona. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials detained him in 2024 during a warrant search for fraud documents, where officials issued a full extradition warrant dated 4/24/2025.

So the pirate got let in, despite U.S. authorities having his fingerprints on file from a 2012 Somali piracy incident where the U.S.S. Halsey had to rescue an Indian-flagged ship under attack, and he somehow snuck into Canada where he was spotted trying to sneak back into the U.S. somewhere around North Dakota, where he is being held in the can.

No word on what he was up to, but it would not be unreasonable to think it was something unsavory.

That he was slinking around the Northern border, rather than the Southern one, pretty well tells us he likely had a network of confederates, and a good guess for where they were based is Minneapolis which is home to a very largee Somali fraudster community. Was he defrauding the U.S., too?

Why would someone with such a long history of crime and confrontation with U.S. military and law enforcement be so very eager to come to the U.S. to be around people who would likely arrest him?

It's astonishing.

What it says is not only did he have a network -- he had to have had a base here in the states, Somalia is just too different from the U.S. for a Somalian to even know what to do here, he was pretty confident nothing would ever happen to him. The United States was where the money was, as the old bank robber saying goes. The U.S. was there for his harvesting and why do it on the high seas when it's so much easier to do it with Tim Walz
...Kamala's smarmy-looking VP running mate, governor of Minnesota and self-admitted knucklehead, who decided to retire rather than to deploy with his National Guard unit, then claimed to have been in Iraq and Afghanistan. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness....
's glad-to-be-fleeced government?

Which raises the obvious question: How many more of them are here, too? This one was caught because he left a fingerprint on one of the boats the U.S. came to the rescue to. How many more of them didn't leave fingerprints, or did leave fingerprints, but who are location unknown?

If there is anyone out there with values utterly incompatible with the U.S.'s, it's got to be Somali pirates. That one got let in pretty well tells us how bad the rot was with Biden's open borders. It's not enough that terrorists, criminals and spies got let in, there had to be pirates, too, living it up and probably voting in our elections, all at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer. # id) ?>
