Vicente Adolfo Solano declared in Spanish, standing in front an ISIS flag, “In the name of Allah and our leader, Abu, we are going to defeat you.” Solano was here under on TPS immmigration status — temporary protected status. That said, he should still have been deported due to his criminal record. But instead he remained here plotting to wage jihad here in America.
Solano was caught with a pressure cooker bomb at the Dolphin Mall. His goal was to set off the bomb in the crowded food court to kill as many Americans as he could. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the start of the Christmas shopping season, was to be a day of unforgettable horror.
“I am going to plant a bomb like in Boston, in the name of Allah,” he had declared. “Like in Boston, like Suarez wanted to do in the Keys, that’s how they’re going to get it, and even worse.”

Honduran TPS Recipient Who Plotted To Bomb A Miami Mall Pleads Guilty To Supporting ISIS
Ryan Pickrell on March 15, 2018
Solano is reportedly an illegal immigrant who obtained Temporary Protected Status (TPS), according to the Miami Herald, citing Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Gilbert. He arrived in the U.S. in the 1990s and resided in Miami, where this ISIS sympathizer produced terrorist propaganda videos and “planned to place and detonate an explosive device in a crowded area of a popular Miami mall.”
The man was, according to the FBI, self-radicalized, and in March 2017, he reportedly changed his name to Abad and posted on Facebook: “I am Abad, son of Allah. May our black flag live on and we continue our battle.” Solano apparently later revealed to a confidential human source that he wanted to join ISIS, the Department of Justice said in its press release on his guilty plea.
Solano unknowingly leaked his plans to two undercover FBI agents, who gave him a fake bomb. After taking possession of the explosive device, Solano attempted to arm it (even though it was actually inert), and made his way toward the entrance of the Dolphin Mall, where he was detained by authorities, according to Reuters.
He was charged in October for his deadly plot.
Solano, who faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, previously told a confidential source for the U.S. government that he was angry with America, particularly President Donald Trump and his criticisms of foreign nationals entering the country illegally. It is unclear whether he actually converted to Islam.

Well, you see, because he didn’t actually hurt anybody. Nice laws we have, eh. He’ll most likely argue in court he never intended to carry it out.

Agree. Deport them.

He’ll go to prison and hang out with all the other Muslim rejects and eventually be released back into the public more radical than before. Hopefully ICE will pick him up but who knows. Unless this sanctuary city BS changes the chance of that happening is slim to none. Then you also have the ACLU sticking their liberal noses in it. You just can’t win! Hope you’re doing well!

Why being in possession of an ISIS flag, or publicly declaring ANY support of any terrorist organization, is not now outlawed, is a complete mystery. This would dramatically cut down on the detestable activities of vile pieces of garbage like this Solano POS.
Immediately after WWII, Germany outlawed any references to Nazism, or the swastika. Why the U.S. doesn’t do the same for terrorist supporters is just enabling them to commit their next crime, where some idiot politician will get up and declare “never again.” Makes you want to puke!

I have a TX permit which serves my purposes since I don’t visit jurisdictions that pick and choose which parts of the Constitution they will follow and which not.
