‼️ EXCLUSIVE: ‼️ 🚨 Sister of ISIS Terrorist Who Carried Out An Islamic Terrorist Attack At Old...
‼️ EXCLUSIVE: ‼️ 🚨 Sister of ISIS Terrorist Who Carried Out An Islamic Terrorist Attack At Old Dominion Univeristy Is A Virginia Based Immigration Lawyer And Member Of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), Which Is Funded By George Soros’s Open Society Foundations 🚨 In a grotesque failure of justice, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized U.S. citizen and former Army National Guard member who was arrested in 2016 and convicted in 2017 for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, walked free from federal prison in December 2024 after serving just under eight years of an 11-year sentence. Today, on March 12, 2026, this Islamic terrorist stormed Old Dominion University’s Constant Hall in Norfolk, Virginia shouting “Allahu Akbar” as he gunned down a retired Army officer instructor and wounded two others in what the FBI is probing as an act of Islamic terrorism. Mohamed Jalloh was subdued by ROTC cadets and found dead at the scene. As a citizen, Jalloh could not be deported back to Sierra Leone (his country of origin) post-conviction, but that begs the searing question: How did our immigration system ever grant citizenship to someone from Sierra Leone who later plotted ISIS-backed attacks on U.S. soil, including procuring weapons for a domestic strike? I have exclusively discovered that Jalloh’s sister, Fatmatu Jalloh, is an immigration attorney and managing partner at Jalloh LLC, a Virginia immigration law firm that serves as a liaison in the DC chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), an organization whose advocacy arm, the American Immigration Council, has pocketed substantial grants from the Ford Foundation, the Bloomberg Family Foundation, and George Soros’s Open Society Foundations to push pro-immigration and open borders policies. In 2017, Fatmatu Jalloh was listed as counsel for her brother when he was convicted for supporting ISIS. See screenshots below 👇🏻 This tragedy is further evidence of a broken immigration system that has given entry and protection to Islamic terrorists, leaving Americans to pay the bloody price for lax enforcement and the early release of known terrorists. When will we stop coddling threats in the name of “reform” and start protecting our own people from the threat of Islam? Why is Fatmatu Jalloh, the immigrant lawyer sister who advocated for her ISIS terrorist supporting brother allowed to live in the US and practice law? She should be denaturalized and deported back to Africa. She should also be interrogated by the FBI. Did she have advanced knowledge of her brother’s Islamic terror attack? Deport the entire Muslim immigrant family. It could very well be a family terror cell. RECEIPTS 👇🏻
