"Mohammed Aburidi (24, Palestinian) and Tareq Aburidi (19, Palestinian) with possessing firearms and ammunition as aliens admitted to the US on nonimmigrant visas. If convicted, each faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison. An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty." Note that the press release reads "Palestinian Nationals..." and not "Two Florida Men..." Imagine if Justice Department statements read "Two Black Men...." There is no reason for this brazen language in the document other than to imply that the two defendants have an inherent mens rea simply for being Palestinian. |
