"In an unprecedented act, Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi's case marks the first known terrorism attack on U.S. soil by a foreign national crossing the southern border."
"The FBI's unusual lack of involvement in the investigation of the Chicago shooting raised concerns about the response to domestic terrorism, especially within a politically charged environment."
On October 26, 2024, Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, an illegal immigrant from Mauritania, shot a Jewish man in Chicago during a Shabbat celebration. The attack, considered the first act of terrorism on U.S. soil by a foreign national illegally crossing the southern border, attracted minimal attention from the FBI, which assigned the case to local law enforcement. Abdallahi was charged under a rarely used anti-terrorism statute but later died by suicide in jail, raising concerns about governmental insights into his background and motivations.
