An Egyptian student at a Southern California flight school is being held by immigration authorities and facing possible deportation after allegedly posting on Facebook that if he killed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump he would be doing the world a favor.
Emad Elsayed, 23, was taken into custody by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for allegedly violating the terms of his admission to the United States, said Virginia Kice, an agency spokeswoman.
Elsayed was arrested at a flight training school and is being held in an Orange County jail pending a hearing on his deportation.
There has been heightened scrutiny of U.S. flights schools since some of the 9/11 hijackers who flew commercial airliners into the World Trade Center and and the Pentagon attended such schools before the attacks.
Alex Khalib, owner of Universal Air Academy, told the Associated Press that federal officials asked him to "terminate paperwork from the school that made the student eligible to study for a pilot's license."
Without an educational institution's backing, a student loses that immigration status and can be kicked out of the country.
