An illegal alien who allegedly opened fire on a Jewish man on Saturday in Chicago has been hit with felony terrorism and hate crime charges in addition to a list of charges he’s already facing.
Chicago police announced the new charges Thursday evening against Sidi Mohammed Abdullahi, 22, after he allegedly shot a Jewish man who was on his way to synagogue and opened fire on first responders.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed to The Daily Wire on Thursday that Mohammed Abdullahi is an illegal alien from Mauritania, an Islamic country in Africa. He illegally came into the U.S. through the southern border last year under the Biden-Harris administration.
Mohammed Abdullahi faces 14 additional felony counts, including attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and attempted murder of a police officer.
Police said at a press conference that they were unable to interview him because of his condition in the hospital but a search of his phone gave them the evidence they needed to file the additional charges.
The evidence obtained by investigators allegedly showed that he planned the attack and specifically targeted Jews.
More than 15,000 people from Mauritania, a predominantly Muslim country in northwest Africa, entered the United States last year, with many relying on routes shared through social media networks.
Abdallahi allegedly shot a 39-year-old man in Chicago’s West Rogers Park neighborhood, then returned less than 30 minutes later and opened fire on police, paramedics, and bystanders. He was caught on a neighbor’s security camera screaming “Allahu Akbar” during the second attack.
Police returned fire, injuring Abdallahi, before taking him to the hospital.
In a video shared with The Daily Wire, police are seen engaging in a shootout with Abdallahi on a sidewalk. In another video, neighbors’ reactions are documented as they discover the injured shooter outside their home’s window.
