Afghan Illegal Immigrant, Convicted of Attempted Murder, Arrested for Deportation
A man named Waheed Allah Mohammad, who came to the United States from Afghanistan, was arrested by immigration officers.
He was convicted of trying to kill his sister in 2008 and was supposed to be sent back to Afghanistan in 2012.
However, he remained in the U.S. until his recent arrest.
The authorities say he is a dangerous criminal and they are going to send him back to Afghanistan.
The U.S. government is also making it harder for people from many countries, including Afghanistan, to get visas to come to the U.S.
Waheed Allah Mohammad, a 39-year-old illegal immigrant from Afghanistan, was arrested by ICE in Rochester, New York, on January 1, 2026.
Mohammad was convicted of first-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault for stabbing his sister in 2008.
He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 5 years of supervision, with a deportation order issued on May 31, 2012.
Despite the deportation order, Mohammad remained in the U.S. until his recent arrest.
ICE officials emphasize that Mohammad is a dangerous criminal and prioritize his removal to ensure community safety.
