Militant Anti-Abortion Activist Behind the Planned Parenthood Video Fraud Arrested in Australia

Troy Newman, leader of the extremist anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, was detained while trying to illegally enter Australia after the country had revoked his visa.

Newman was instrumental in releasing the falsified Planned Parenthood videos that Republicans say prove that the agency harvests and sells fetal tissue and profits from it. Newman has such a volatile past that the Australian government denied his passport request last month. However, Newman still boarded a plane in Los Angeles and flew to Melbourne where he was detained.

“Since Mr. Newman-Mariotti does not hold a visa, he is unable to enter Australia and remains in the presence of ABF (Australian Border Force) officials at the Melbourne Airport pending his removal,” said a spokesperson for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton.

Take your time, Aussies, take your time. A month, a season, a year or three, we're in no hurry to have him back.

Better yet, deport him to Mogadishu and let him make his way back to the US from there.
