It appears from this story as if Abdullah was arrested in the Philippines and brought to the US for trial, but if he had not been arrested and had attempted to enter the US in order to carry out his jihad plot, he would have had no trouble getting into the country.

Officials say he was conducting research on American skyscrapers as potential targets – but it was not immediately clear if any New York landmarks were on his list.
Filipino news outlets widely reported his arrest in July 2019, though the details of the alleged plot were not known at the time. According to the web site Rappler, Abdullah had a bomb and bomb-making equipment when he was arrested….

I cannot find any record of CAIR’s involvement with Myon Burrell prior to today.

Muslim from Kenya trained as pilot for years in order to carry out 9/11-style jihad attack against US skyscraper
………………………
Whereas, sane people train as pilots for years to–y’know–learn to fly planes.
God, I hate Islam. Glad he was caught.

Michael Copeland says
Reminds us of another “Kenyan man” who “spent years” making an extended “attack against the United States”.
