An Iraqi man by the name of Omar Abdulsattar Ameen was arrested in California after being accused of being a former Islamic State fighter and killing a police officer in Iraq. After applying and qualifying to live in the U.S. as part of a refugee program in 2014, Ameen allegedly flew back to Iraq and killed a police officer. Five months later, he traveled to the U.S. to be resettled as a refugee. U.S. officials plan to extradite him to Iraq under a treaty between the two countries.
