Sidi Mohamed Abdellahi, who allegedly tried to murder a Jewish man in Chicago in broad daylight on Saturday morning, entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and was released into the interior, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
U.S. Border Patrol agents encountered Abdellahi — originally from Mauritania — on March 31, 2023, near San Ysidro, California, according to an ICE spokesperson, before he was released into the interior of the country. Abdellahi now faces six counts of attempted first-degree murder, seven counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm, and one count of aggravated battery after allegedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” and opening fire on police officers responding to the scene of the initial shooting.
“On Oct. 29, officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Chicago lodged an immigration detainer with Cook County Jail in Chicago, Illinois on Sidi Mohamed Abdellahi, 22, a Mauritanian national, following his arrest for six counts of attempted murder and four counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm/police officer/fireman,” ICE spokeswoman Erin Bultje said in a statement shared with the DCNF.
