Sabri Samirah, Exiled as a 'Security' Threat, Former Orland Man May Soon Return

Exiled as a 'Security' Threat, Former Orland Man May Soon Return

A suburban Chicago Muslim leader exiled from the United States after 9/11 could be back as early as this fall after a federal judge declared the government's argument for keeping him away "totally asinine."

Sabri Samirah, formerly of Orland Park, has spent the past eight years in his native Jordan. In 2003, he traveled there to visit his sick mother and on his way back was stopped by immigration authorities, informed he was a "national security risk" and barred from returning to America.
