Egyptian student to be deported from US over Trump threat

LOS ANGELES, (APP/AFP): An Egyptian student attending
flight school in California is facing deportation after posting a message on Facebook saying he was ready to kill Donald Trump.
Emadeldin Elsayed, 23, was arrested by federal agents on February 12
at the Los Angeles-area flight school he was attending after posting what authorities said was a death threat against the leading Republican presidential candidate.
“I am willing to kill Donald Trump and serve a life sentence. The
whole world would thank me for doing that,” Elsayed wrote on his Facebook page, according to his attorney Hani.
Although authorities did not file any criminal charges against
Elsayed, an immigration judge earlier this week ordered he be deported on grounds the flight school had terminated his enrolment and as such his student visa was no longer valid.
The judge also refused to release Elsayed on bail after prosecutors
argued he posed a flight risk.
