Missing: 300 Somalis Smuggled Into US By Virginia Man Linked to Terrorists
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, April 12, 2010, 5:24 AM
No need to panic but… There are 300 Somalis roaming free in the US who were smuggled into the country by a Virginia man linked to an Al-Qaeda terror group based in Somalia.
The Washington Examiner reported:
Federal authorities say they’re certain nearly 300 Somalis allegedly smuggled into the United States by a Virginia man who admitted contacts with an Islamic terrorist group are in the country, but they can’t find them despite a worldwide search for leads.
The search, first reported by the Washington Examiner, started in early February after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Anthony Joseph Tracy on charges that he helped smuggle the Somalis into the United States from Kenya. The 35-year-old has since been indicted on charges of conspiring with Cuban Embassy officials in Kenya to help the Somalis illegally enter the United States. ICE Agent Thomas Eyre has testified that authorities are “concerned” about the contact Tracy admitted having with the Somali terrorist organization Al-Shabaab, an al Qaeda ally.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema questioned Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeanine Linehan about the status of the government’s search for the illegal immigrants.
“We have not identified anyone,” Linehan said. “We believe all the individuals are present in the United States. But by the virtue of [Tracy's] successful smuggling scheme, we are having difficulty finding them.”

Anthony Joseph Tracy converted to Islam while in prison.
Reuters reported:
Authorities did not state in the court documents how many Somalis may have entered the United States with Tracy’s help.
While prosecutors portrayed Tracy as a young man who converted to Islam while in a U.S. prison in the 1990s, his lawyer said in a court document that he simply was a 35-year-old American citizen with a wife and five children, and that he “has every intention to remain here and contest these charges.”
In Minnesota, U.S. authorities have charged 14 people with recruiting, training or financing travel for young Somali immigrants to travel to Africa to fight for al-Shabaab.

Terror group? What is a terror group? I don’t think the Odoodlehead Administration recognizes that term.
Mats commented:
Oh NO! Everyone PANIC!!!
Wait. Obama is president. He will fix everything.
archer52 commented:
First, we have nothing to worry about. Obama said there is no war on terror, so I’m sure they’ll all be looking for jobs and such.
Second, if you don’t buy that, read a Tom Clancey book called “Teeth of the Tiger.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Teeth_of_the_Tiger
When I read it, back before I retired, I said, ” ‘Ol Tom is predicting the future again.”
Can you imagine how convenient a major domestic operation would be right now for BO?
Read my book and see, (www.revoltthebook.com)

Well it’s a good thing this is a Census year. They should have the whereabouts of those Somalis in the mail in no time.
If that doesn’t work, just fly Blackhawk helicopters around the country at low altitudes and see who tries to shoot them down.
Or, try hopping in a cab at Minneapolis airport with a French Poodle and a bottle of wine and look for the drivers that throw a fit.
Or place help wanted ads in the nation’s newspapers and Craigslist for apprentice warlords.

Hmm…. the Kenyan connection is an interesting twist in the war against man made disasters.
olm commented:
Well, gee, I could help them out but that would be profiling.
Scott Wiggins commented:
Maybe they came for the free healtcare…
pjean commented:
As a Minnesotan, I become particularly anxious because we have such a large Somali community. I appreciate learning more about this culture of people, but to know that many of their young men are being recruited for anything but good, we are becoming more alarmed by stories like this one.

By design folks. The Alien needs a reason to declare martial law.
Betsy Ross commented:
Well, duh, the guy will be set free cuz everyone knows that there is no such thing as “an islamic terrorist group”, don’t ‘cha know….king barry has deemed it so.
Bob commented:
Maybe Obama meet them when he ditched the press the other morning
olm commented:
I live in an area that is pretty bichromatic and one of the nationalilities is not Somali. Got the picture?
I was at the corner 7.11 last week and two guys who could have been Somali were being verbally accosted by 2 (native to the area) women. The men got into their very odd looking vehicle and drove away. I drove up at the very end of the altercation but it was very strange and obviously stuck with me.
After 9/11 the government asked us to keep our eyes and ears open. Remember that? There is no such requests from the government, maybe because they only appear interested in MI militia types.
I’ll bet the goverenment could find these Somalis in a matter of days, or weeks if they really wanted to.
Marsh commented:
Well this is just great news. Our moronic immigration system is very possibly the #1 security threat to this country.

I was going to recommend the Feds come to Minnesota, but I caught the last paragraph of the article so I guess they already know we are overflowing with Somalis and a number of them are a clear and present danger.
In point of fact I don’t know anyone up here that likes them as a group (oh yeah folks from other places, we’re not homogenous ‘white folks’ anymore up here so don’t even start). My wife (a non-white) has problems with them at the food store cutting into line, bringing 100 items into the express lane, being rude to all and sundry, etc., etc. Then there was the famous taxi cab brouhaha. I suppose there’s some nice Somalis up here but I haven’t seen any.
Leon commented:
I live in a very rural part of SW Missouri. Last year Somalis moved to Noel Mo to work in the Tyson Chicken plant. Several DO NOT speak English or pretend not to. They are on government assistance as the “men” (not the women) are at the local welfare office in Anderson Mo WEEKLY… No seems to know who got them there or how??? In McDonald County we have many able bodied Americana that could be working these jobs at the chicken plants. But instead of the government does not make them get a job. But they allow the Somalis/ Illegal aliens work and provide government subsides. WTF???
apodoca commented:
Let’s start deporting them. Every family that has a kid who went to Somalia to engage in jihad, deport them. The Somalis tend to resemble each other sometimes, so they’re easy to find. Ship the bucket of trouble back to their country. They tell me they don’t consider themselves African but Arab. Send ‘em back.
daryl commented:
Next thing you know there will be pirates running amok on the Great Lakes and the length and breadth of our navigable rivers.
They should be easy to identify from the qat on their breath. Find the local dealer and you will find your illegal Somalis.
Dave in Houston commented:
And these clowns in the government get really good pension and medical benefits. When are they actually going to start earning them? It’s obvious they don’t care a wit about their responsibilities.
Opaobie commented:
They are all currently working as Census takers. Look for one of them to show up at your door any day now. You can’t miss ‘em, they’ll be the ones carrying AK-47s and RPGs and planting IEDs in your street.
Judy K. Warner commented:
We have been covering Somalis in America for a while, including this issue of the 300 disappearing Somalis, at Refugee Resettlement Watch. They are troublesome wherever they settle. This is usually as employees at a meat-packing plant, where they agitate for changes in policy to accommodate their Islamic requirements. At one plant, they got management to substitute a Muslim holiday for Labor Day, until a huge backlash put a stop to that idea.
olm commented:
Judy, are the Somalis concentrated in large groups or are they more spread out throughout the US?
Danny Green commented:
Whats the big deal? We need these people to do the jobs white Americans dont want, like picking crops, doing landscape, masonry work, practicing medicine or plumbing. They are just coming here to persue a better life like our ancestors, stop being racist. I hope none of the racist Americans harass these undocumented people by suggesting they learn english or know the constitution. I hope Chuck schumer and Lindsey Graham give these brave new Americans a path to citizenship very soon. It’s this diversity that makes our country great. Hell 9 out of 10 8th graders don’t know how to blow themselves up on a subway. We have become lazy as a nation. I for one would like to welcome these brave souls to this country. Godspeed my friends, Godspeed!!!
Finncrisp commented:
Realistically, this kind of stuff is going to happen as our enemies test our ability to stop them from certain acts of terrorism. The real outrage is the apparent Ho-Hum attitude of our administration officials about this stuff. Same thing in December – “The system worked”
Ya think there would be some kind of alert, or manhunt instead of “we are looking into this”. If someone called and pointed out my house was on fire, would I say I’ll have to look into it?
JD commented:
I’m a southern CA surfer. I surf at dawn at Trestles in San Clemente 3 or 4 times a week. Twice in the last month I have seen a boat drop 25 -30 people off on the beach. I have called the boarder patrol and reported what I have seen but have not even received a follow-up call. Don’t know if these are illegals or al Qaeda .
A_Nonny_Mouse commented:
Not that anybody in Washington is listening, but this is THE MAIN REASON to secure our borders (both north AND south).
But, whenever a conservative starts talking about border security, the lamestream mainstream starts braying about “raaacist right-wingers who demonize poor, hardworking undocumented workers who are just trying to provide for their families”.
I’m not at all convinced that the strange crew we’ve elected to Washington has any interest whatever in trying to “preserve, protect, and defend” anything… except maybe their perks and status.
olm commented:
I believe it JD, honestly, I don’t think anyone is interested.
About 3 weeks ago large explosion was heard near here. The explosion was heard by many people, 911 was called, car alarms went off ect. The official story at first was it was just a noise amplified by low clouds. They were many concerned citizens so the noise was investigated, the police said it was a pipe bomb and photos were shown of the hole it created but that was it. End of story.

Isn’t that odd… oh well, they were probably just coming ashore to turn in their census forms.
The alternate RDGP (Really Dangerous Group of Peoples) long form makes provisions for those inhabiting the high seas and public waterways.
They’re exluded from answering questions on how many flushing toilets they have, what time they go to work, and how far they have to drive. All that’s really important is an estimate of how many people they plan on offsetting the local population by.. when they finally cash in on the eternal carnival of carnality.
Can’t say our gobmint doesn’t believe in checks and balances.

Olm, they are all around the country. Big Somali cities are Seattle, Columbus Ohio, San Diego, Minneapolis of course. Boston. Atlanta. Nashville. But there are many in smaller cities like Lewiston, ME, Amarillo, TX, Greeley, CO, Ft. Morgan, CO and Grand Island, NE.
