<p>A man from the Middle East was recently arrested in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a> for being illegally in possession of a firearm after federal law enforcement say that he began planning a terrorist attack against Jews.</p>
<p>Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, came to the U.S. on &#8220;a tourist visa and liv[ed] illegally in the U.S. for several months,&#8221; before he applied for asylum status, which was still pending when he was arrested in Houston late last month, according to a <a href="https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/asylum-seeker-arrested-on-gun-charges-houston/285-87593074-d93c-4541-8e1f-26829e51730d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from KHOU 11 News Houston.</p>
<p>CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/02/us/sohaib-abuayyash-jordanian-arrested-houston/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that when FBI Director Christopher Wray <a href="https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/senate-homeland-security-committee-hearing-part-1-transcript" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a> during Senate testimony this week that the FBI arrested a man in Houston &#8220;who’d been studying how to build bombs and posted online about his support for killing Jews,&#8221; he was specifically referring to Abuayyash.</p>
<p>Numerous publications originally identified Abuayyash as a Jordanian national, however, the U.S. Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdtx/pr/federal-grand-jury-has-returned-indictment-against-20-year-old-palestinian-citizen">said</a> in a press release on Friday afternoon that he was a &#8220;Palestinian citizen.&#8221; The DOJ confirmed that he was &#8220;an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p>A federal judge ordered that Abuayyash be detained pending trial after making “statements to others that support the killing of individuals of particular religious faiths” and allegedly targeting &#8220;an event in Houston for members of a particular religious group.&#8221;</p>
<p>A law enforcement source told CNN that he was “plotting to attack a Jewish gathering.”</p>
<p>The FBI opened its criminal investigation into Abuayyash in August after agents discovered a video of him at a shooting range using semi-automatic firearms, the report said. Given his status, he was not allowed to “possess or use firearms or ammunition.”</p>
<p>Court documents said that Abuayyash “in direct contact with others who share a radical mindset, has been conducting physical training, and has trained with weapons to possibly commit an attack.”</p>
<p>He also “viewed specific and detailed content posted by radical organizations on the internet including lessons on how to construct bombs or explosive devices; and that Defendant has made statements to others that support the killing of individuals of particular religious faiths,” court documents added. He had referenced &#8220;martyrdom&#8221; and &#8220;referenced an event in Houston for members of a particular religious group.&#8221;</p>

<p>Federal law enforcement officials took him off the streets by arresting him with the most immediate charge they could bring forward, unlawful possession of a firearm, while more charges may be added at a later date.</p>
