In 1990, Bassam Darwishahmad, entered the U.S. and filed a form I485 (petition for permanent resident alien status) which asked "Have you ever engaged in, conspired to engage in, or do you intend to engage in, or have you ever solicited membership or funds for, or have you through any other means ever assisted or provided funds for, or have you through any other means ever assisted or provided any type of material support to any person or organization that has ever engaged in or conspired to engage in sabotage, kidnapping, political assassination, hijacking or any other form of terrorist activity?"
Darwishahmad settled in Collierville, Tn and started a business re-hab'ing homes and for a while, selling used cars.
Intelligence sources determined the Mr. Darwishahmad was, in fact, an intelligence officer for Hamas. Further investigation determined that he was responsible for throwing a bomb at an Israeli bus containing civilians and for throwing Molotov Cocktails at Israeli soldiers prior to his entrance in the US.
Darwishahmad was deported based on the fact he lied on his I485 form.
