Border authorities apprehended a known pirate from Somalia after he illegally crossed the border into North Dakota last week.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just released details about the arrest, along with the detainee’s shocking criminal history.
On the night of April 14, an off-duty Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer alerted U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) about a man with a backpack walking near the international border.
Hours later, a USBP agent located the illegal crosser and took him into custody.
He was identified as Said Jama Ahmed, a Somali national with an outstanding arrest warrant for falsely making, using, and forging a passport.
“On March 10, 2012, the U.S.S. Halsey responded to a distress call from an Indian-flagged ship reporting that pirates had hijacked it in the Gulf of Aden,” DHS explained in a press release.
“A Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) team conducted boarding operations and encountered Ahmed and nine other armed pirates who had taken the Indian ship hostage by force, where the Navy then logged Ahmed’s fingerprint.”
Ahmed was first encountered on U.S. soil in 2022 after he illegally crossed the southern border near San Luis, Arizona.
He was apparently released into the interior before being detained in 2024 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a warrant search for fraud documents.
It remains unclear what transpired since then, or how Ahmed ended up in Canada, but he is now in custody in the District of North Dakota.
“Weak Biden Administration border policies allowed this illegal alien to enter and remain in the country despite his multiple law enforcement encounters,” said DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
“We are thankful for our hardworking U.S. CBP officers and Canadian officials for their cooperation in arresting this individual. DHS will continue to work to arrest criminal illegal aliens to protect the American homeland from all threats.”
