On the case of the Orlando terrorist, Omar, U.S. Attorney General, Loretta Lynch followed the White House script and announced the attack was merely a hate crime against the LGBT community. The enemies of America are studying and al Qaeda replied with:

Al Qaeda urges lone wolves to target whites, to avoid ‘hate crime’ label

Lone wolf jihadists should target white Americans so no one mistakes their terror attacks for hate crimes unrelated to the cause of radical Islam, Al Qaeda writes in the latest edition of its online magazine.

In an article first reported by The Foreign Desk, Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) called for more self-directed Muslim terrorists to kill in America. But the article, titled “Inspire guide: Orlando operation,” tells terrorists to “avoid targeting places and crowds where minorities are generally found” because if gays or Latinos appear to be the targets, “the federal government will be the one taking full responsibility.” More from FNC.

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was radicalized a year before Chattanooga terror attack: FBI agent

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, the lone-wolf terrorist who fatally shot five military personnel at two locations in Chattanooga, Tennessee, last summer, had been radicalized for at least a year, according to an FBI agent.

Abdulazeez was radicalized online before a July 2014 trip to visit family in the Middle East and discussed committing jihad before carrying out the July 16 attack, FBI Special Agent Ed Reinhold told the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

“I know he wanted to commit jihad and commit jihad here in the United States, but I don’t think the specific target was necessarily picked out too far in advance,” Mr. Reinhold told the newspaper. “There was some planning involved, but not years worth.”

Mr. Reinhold said evidence collected by authorities shows Abdulazeez was a follower of Anwar al-Awlaki and radicalized after devoting himself to the deceased al Qaeda leader’s online sermons.

Abdulazeez, who was shot to death by police during the attack, was not on any terrorist watch lists and had no prior convictions, although he was facing a July 30 court appearance for an April DUI arrest. More from Washington Times.

Per the White House:

What We’re Doing

President Obama has a strategy to defeat ISIL, fight terrorism, and protect the homeland.

The President is pursuing a comprehensive strategy that draws on every aspect of American power. Here’s an up-to-date look at what we’re doing to combat the threat of terrorism abroad and here at home.

Supporting and Enabling Our Global Partners

On September 10, 2014, President Obama announced the formation of a broad international coalition to defeat ISIL. Since then, the United States has led 66 international partners in a global coalition to counter ISIL with a focus on liberating ISIL-controlled territory in Iraq and Syria. The mission is aimed at striking ISIL at its core, degrading its networks, and constraining its prospects for expansion. This is a multi-year effort, but we are united with our Coalition partners in making progress together to degrade and destroy ISIL.

Islamic State has gained almost exclusive focus while the matter of the Chattanooga terrorist was inspired by Anwar al Alawki. He was al Qaeda and was killed in a drone strike in Yemen under the specific orders from the Obama kill list. Is anyone paying attention to al Qaeda at all?

It is noted just today, July 1, 2016:

DailyMail: The leader of terror group al-Qaeda has warned the United States there will be grave consequences if they execute Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev or any other Muslim prisoner.

Ayman Al-Zawahiri has appeared in a new video threatening America if the death sentence is carried out on the 22-year-old.

The footage shows the Egyptian-born Islamic extremist wearing white robes and sitting in front of green velvet robes.

He urges Muslims to take captive as many Westerners as possible, especially those whose countries had joined the ‘Crusaders’ Campaign led by the United States’.

He says: ‘If the U.S. administration kills our brother the hero Dzhokhar Tsarnaev or any Muslim, it … will bring America’s nationals the gravest consequences.’

It is quite interesting that the Obama administration can release proven known terrorists from the Guantanamo Detention Center to either home countries or any other country that the administration colludes with to accept them.

We have a former detainee that was released to Uruguay that has fled alleged to Brazil.

But…..this policy does not seem to apply to the Department of Homeland Security or ICE.

Specifically, the law states:

On being notified by the [DHS Secretary] that the government of a foreign country denies or unreasonably delays accepting an alien who is a citizen, subject, national, or resident of that country after the [DHS Secretary] asks whether the government will accept the alien under this section, the Secretary of State shall order consular officers in that foreign country to discontinue granting immigrant visas or nonimmigrant visas, or both, to citizens, subjects, nationals, and residents of that country until the [DHS Secretary] notifies the Secretary that the country has accepted the alien. (8 U.S.C. § 1253(d); Emphasis added.)

Nearly 1 million immigrants — including more than 170K convicts — ignoring deportation

WashingtonTimes: Nearly 1 million immigrants are ignoring deportation orders to remain in the U.S. — including more than 170,000 convicted criminals, according to a new report Thursday that suggests the government’s deportation efforts are still falling short.

Only a small fraction of the immigrants are even being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), meaning most of them remain free on the streets, where they can commit crimes and continue living in the shadows, according to the study by Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies.

“The fact that almost 10 percent of the illegal resident population has already been ordered removed and is still here illustrates just how dysfunctional our immigration enforcement system is. It also should be of great concern that 20 percent of them are conviction criminals, and that most of these are at large in our communities,” Ms. Vaughan said.

She said the 925,193 aliens who were still here despite a deportation order break down into three categories. In some cases their home countries refuse to take them back, and U.S. officials feel constrained by law to release them; other times they are released by sanctuary cities, who help thwart deportations; and still others abscond on their own.

Mexicans account for the most aliens, with nearly 200,000 ignoring deportation orders. About a third of those are convicted criminals, Ms. Vaughan said. El Salvador accounts for more than 150,000 of the aliens, but just 10,000 of them are convicted criminals.

Perhaps most troubling is that the population is steadily growing, with the Obama administration tracking down fewer than 10,000 fugitives a year on the streets. Even when criminals snagged by checking local prisons and jails are included, the number of those deported from the interior of the U.S. is far less than 100,000.

But some 179,040 new criminal aliens were given final orders or removal in 2015 yet remained in the country, Ms. Vaughan said, citing data obtained by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
