South African woman’s passport prompts federal investigation
Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed, 48, was arrested July 19 at the McAllen airport and charged
four days later with illegal entry into the United States, falsifying information and falsifying a
passport. She was denied bond on Tuesday by a federal magistrate. A senior federal law
enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Tuesday
that investigators were trying to determine whether the woman had ties to terrorists groups. So far
nothing has been substantiated, the source said. Read the story here.
No bail for woman reportedly on terror list
HARLINGEN - U.S. Congressman Solomon Ortiz said Tuesday that a South African woman
detained by immigration officers at the McAllen airport last week is on a watch list for suspected
terrorists. The Muslim woman, Farida Goolam Mahomed Ahmed, 48, was detained by U.S.
Border Patrol agents July 19 after she made an attempt to board a flight at McAllen International
Airport. After a lengthy hearing Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Dorina Ramos in McAllen ruled there
was probable cause to hold Ahmed on federal charges of unlawful entry, making false statements
and presenting an altered South African passport with four pages torn out. She denied bail for
Ahmed. Read the story here.
Potential terrorists released due to lack of jail space, congressman says
July 23, 2004 - Middle Easterners with possible terrorist ties have been detained after entering
the country from Mexico but released for lack of jail space, said U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, the
ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness. “It is true. It is
very reliable information, from the horse’s mouth, and it’s happening all over the place,” Ortiz, D-
Texas, told The Herald on Thursday. “It’s very, very scary, and members (of Congress) know
about this. We have contacted several agencies, and I have talked to some people, but I can’t
say who.” Read the story here.
TWO GROUPS OF MIDDLE-EASTERN INVADERS CAUGHT IN COCHISE COUNTY IN PAST
SIX WEEKS
However, seasoned Border Patrol field agents have shared some disturbing information with the
Tumbleweed as well as other civilian sources with the hope the information will make it to the
general public. The Tumbleweed has verified information that a flood of middle-eastern males
have been caught entering the country illegally east of Douglas, Arizona. The increased patrols in
the Huachuca Mountains area of Cochise County, seems to have diverted the flow of OTM’s,
“other than Mexicans” east to the Chiricahua Mountains. Adame, who says many of the agents in
the area are “green", questions why they would have shared the information with the Tumbleweed
or any other source. “Our policy is to turn any OTM’s over to the FBI and the Department of
Homeland Security,” Adame said in a phone call made to the Tumbleweed Wednesday morning.
