Dilkhayot Kasimov lived in Brooklyn, one of the nation’s leading hotspots for trendy young hipsters, but he had much more on his mind than checking out the street art scene in Bushwick or the Fort Greene Flea Market. Kasimov, 34, who was sentenced Friday to fifteen years in prison for aiding the Islamic State (ISIS), was involved in plots to strike within the United States, including possibly even killing Barack Obama. Dilkhayot Kasimov is a citizen of Uzbekistan, and so his case once again raises the question that Biden’s handlers steadfastly ignore: why is the U.S. bringing jihad terrorists into the country?
According to U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue, Kasimov “was part of a conspiracy in which he willingly and eagerly sought to help fund a foreign fighter’s travel and expenses in Syria to wage violent jihad.” When Kasimov was sentenced Friday, Matthew Olsen, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, said: “Kasimov is an ISIS supporter who collected and gave money to another individual to fund his travel to join the terrorist group.” Breon Peace, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, explained: “Kasimov was part of a group of individuals who sought to travel to Syria to join ISIS or to fund others who sought to become foreign fighters for ISIS.” But Kasimov wasn’t interested only in Syria.
When Kasimov was convicted in September 2019, UPI reported that he “was named in an indictment that charged three other men in a plot to assist the Islamic State.” Kasimov’s accomplices, “Akhror Saidakhmetov, Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev and Abror Habibov planned to travel to Turkey and then to Syria to assist the IS.” They also had a Plan B: “If their plan was not successful, they allegedly planned terrorist attacks on the United States. The men were each charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, conspiracy and travel document fraud.” They “came to the attention of law enforcement in August 2014 after they allegedly posted on a Uzbek-language, pro-IS website saying they would kill former President Barack Obama if ordered by the IS. The plans included placing bombs on Coney Island.”
There doesn’t seem to be any published information about the circumstances under which Kasimov was admitted to the country. Nonetheless, his case provides yet more evidence that immigration is a national security issue, and that not only “racists” and “Islamophobes” think otherwise.
There is more. Read the rest here.

perhaps he just wandered across the border…or he was here on a student visa, or was here on a tourist visa or someone brought him over in their luggage when returning from a trip to check on a relative in turkey..
There are more like him. like roaches, or termites infesting a home. You see one, there are thousands hiding…and doing their dirty work.

ISIS Plotter in Hipster Brooklyn Proves Yet Again That Immigration Is a National Security Issue
…………..
Yes, it is. This affects the entire nation–*every* sane American should consider Jihad terror a threat.
Pray Hard says
Why? They want us dead and they want moslems to do it so they, the Bitin’ regime, have plausible deniability.

Pray Hard, Biden has been especially bad on Muslim immigration. But this has been a problem for some decades now, and Kasimov himself entered the US and plotted Jihad before Biden was elected.

Funny how the AVERAGE PERSON can see the danger in open borders. But as soon as you run for elected office you can’t see it. Our big box stores and hardware stores sell locks by the millions to secure everything we own and yet the most important entryway into our country if left unlocked.
We as American citizens are being sold out, this is not about diversity this is an invasion of the Muslim/Islamic States.
