Immigration Fraud

Federal authorities have arrested 33-year-old Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub Al-Muhtadi in Louisiana for his alleged participation in the Hamas-led terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and for entering the United States using a fraudulent visa. Al-Muhtadi, a member of a Gaza-based paramilitary group, is accused of arming fighters, coordinating the assault, and crossing into Israel near a site of a deadly massacre. The arrest underscores ongoing efforts to prosecute those involved in the attack that killed dozens, including American citizens.
