Hamdan, who founded a mosque in Anaheim, was arrested on immigration charges in July 2004 as federal authorities unsealed an indictment against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The government charged that the Texas-based charity funneled millions to the Palestinian militant group Hamas.According to DTN, this "charity" was shut down on December 4, 2001, for its suspected role in providing financial support to Hamas. The government has been building the case against HLF for over four and a half years now, and the ACLU has just sprung one of the key players. It would appear that Hamdan is at the very least targeted for deportation, as he is still fighting the immigration laws he violated.The following month, Hamdan was ordered deported on the immigration charges. His requests to be released on bond while he fights the charges had been denied until this week.
Hamdan, who was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank, was accused of having ties to terrorism but was never charged. Instead, he was convicted of overstaying a student visa he got 27 years ago.
