Obama Administration Plans to Deport Roommate of Chechen Killed by FBI

The Obama administration seems to be in a rush to deport a Russian immigrant who may have witnessed the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) shooting of her Chechen roommate who was interviewed in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings.

Tatiana Gruzdeva, 19, from Russia, was arrested on May 16 for overstaying her visa. She had been living with Ibragim Todashev, whom the FBI questioned about his connection with Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

During the questioning, an FBI agent shot and killed Todashev.

The FBI has not explained what happened. Some media sources reported Todashev attacked the agent with a knife, while others reported that he was unarmed or that he threatened the agent with a metal pole or a broomstick.

“We’re extremely interested in speaking to her and seeing what she has to say,” Hassan Shibly, executive director of the Florida Council of Islamic Relations at Tampa, told the Boston Globe. “We’re very curious as to why the government’s put so many impediments, in trying to get her out of the country as soon as possible. There’s a very good likelihood that she has important information.”

To their credit, they haven't waterboarded her. She would do well to pursue her plan of leaving voluntarily with due haste.

And don't come back, b---h.

I prefer AMERICAN INQUISITION

Christians have easily matched what ever atrocities the Taliban has ever committed.

No I do not like the Taliban

I am not sympathetic to them

We should own our own hatred before using the hatred of others
