...Aaron Mannes elaborated on CAIR's Hamas connection a while back in "CAIR and Hamas: Implications and an illustration." Now an immigration judge in Dallas has ordered the deportation of Nabil Sadoun, a Dallas resident and former board member of CAIR; Sadoun was deported to Jordan, to which he had already hightailed it, after he failed to appear at his immigration hearing. The Dallas NBC affiliate reports that the immigration judge made vague references to the government's voluminous motion to deport Sadoun, including alleged involvement with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. According to the report, the judge concluded Sadoun lied on government forms when he denied he was a member.

The NBC affiliate sought comment from CAIR. CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said Sadoun left the organization several months ago. Asked the reason for his departure, Hooper responded: "Board members come on, [and] they leave."

Thanks, as always, for clearing that up. [More<.a>.]
