Biden-Harris DOJ drops charges against illegal aliens who allegedly tried to breach US military base

The two Jordanian nationals were previously released on bail. The Biden-Harris administration's Department of Justice has quietly and mysteriously dropped the charges against two Jordanian nationals who allegedly attempted to breach a Virginia military base in May.

Hasan Yousef Hamdan and Mohammad Khair Dabous, both in the country illegally, were accused of attempting to enter Quantico Marine Corps Base near Triangle, Virginia, while posing as Amazon delivery drivers, Blaze News previously reported.

'This whole case is more than curious.'

After they failed to produce access credentials, guards instructed the men to wait in a holding area for a secondary inspection. Instead of following the directive, the men reportedly attempted to proceed into the military base. Guards swiftly deployed vehicle denial barriers and prevented the men from entering.

One of the Jordanian nationals illegally crossed the southern border approximately a month before the incident, and the other man allegedly overstayed a student visa. Due to their illegal immigration status, the men were previously turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but they were released from federal custody.

The two men were facing misdemeanor trespassing charges after the May incident. However, in July, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia ordered their release on the condition that they attend their immigration proceedings and avoid military installations, Blaze News previously reported. They were released from detention after posting bail for their alleged crimes.

On Friday, the Washington Times reported that the Justice Department "quietly dismissed the charges" against Hamdan and Dabous.

The U.S. attorney in eastern Virginia dropped the charges in the interest of "the ends of justice," which the Times referred to as "boilerplate language" that failed to reveal any details about the decision.

Lawyers for the two men blamed the incident on a language barrier, claiming that Dabous was attempting to complete a delivery when he failed to understand the guard's instructions.

The Times reported that by September, it appeared prosecutors believed the event was a misunderstanding, yet they did not move to have the charges dropped until October 3.

Todd Bensman, a senior national security fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, told the Times, "This whole case is more than curious."

"The government had many, many opportunities to dispel the notion that there was something more nefarious about this than met the eye. And they took a pass every time," he noted.

Congress requested more information about the incident, but according to House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.), the Biden-Harris administration has been "delinquent" in answering lawmakers' questions.

Green told the Times, "We are aware that one of these men entered through the southwest border, claimed asylum, and was released into the interior just a month prior to the incident at Quantico."

"The circumstances surrounding this event remain concerning, and I urge the Biden-Harris administration to respond without further delay to Congress and the American people," he said.

The U.S. attorney's office and Hamdan's lawyer declined a request for comment from the Times. Dabous' legal representation did not respond to the news outlet's request.

Well, there you go

What does the phrase “ends of justice” mean?
In my case I want to declare how under CCP § 397 the court may change the place of trial when (c) the convenience of witnesses and the “ends of justice” would be promoted by the change. I cannot find a definition of “ends of justice” in any California statute or case law. In online non-California articled I found definitions including “justice to all parties” and “justice according to the statutes and the laws of the land” and “preservation of proper balance between constitutional/statutory rights of an individual and rights of people at large to have law enforced.” That seems broad and inclusive of many concepts. Is the phrase “ends of justice” usually understood this way in California law?

What kind of “language barrier”
includes: “while posing as Amazon delivery drivers”

trying to enter a military base?

Does the Jordanian language not traslate “HUGE ass marine base” accurately? Does it come up as “John Doe’s house” in the transator app?

Trucks have been used as weapons in terrorist attacks previously to run over pedestrians. Good possibility that is what was going to happen here. Thankfully, the guards were doing their job.

Those guys are either very stupid or very smart. I’ll go with the latter.

They probably took a bit of time to practice a good excuse should their plan (whatever it was) get thwarted.

And here’s another thing. I’ve never once seen two guys working an Amazon delivery. It seems kinda funny that there would be two here.

there is just NO good reason to try to break into any Mil base.

And that goes triple for a foreign national.

What would happen, if US citizens in Jordan, illegally, posed as Amazon drivers and attepted to get onto a Jordanian base?

Would they get let go as a “language issue”?

“Those guys are either very stupid or very smart.”

There had to be a VERY GOOD reason/ plan to attempt this.

And due to our stupidity, we will not know WHY they tried to do this, or who they were working for.

What they were trying to accomplish. And if there is a plan to do X, it is likely, that others will try to do the same thing.

“Ends of justice,” here in CA and elsewhere, is just a catch phrase for “it’s appropriate that…”

“while posing as Amazon delivery drivers”
Lawyer says misunderstanding as they were trying to make a delivery.
Ok, does Amazon admit to hiring illegal Jordanians as drivers, or is this lawyer lying to the court?
There’s a lot more to this story, than what is being fed to us.

Either they were Amazon drivers or they were not Amazon Drivers. Should be easy to determine by serving Amazon with a subpoena. (FWIIW, I have never seen an Amazon delivery truck with more than one driver.)

How could he obtain a job with Amazon within a month of entering this country? Work permit issued instantly?

“Gaetz can reinstate the charges.”

Although I am not an expert on the federal rules of criminal procedure, my understanding is that once the court dismisses a case in the interests of justice, the charges cannot be refiled unless there is new evidence of criminal conduct that was unknown to the prosecution at the time the initial charges were dismissed. I could be wrong, but that’s my understanding.

Right.
Try to break into a military base? OK.
