Shabbir Ahmed, 39, a former imam for a mosque in Lodi, California, will be sent to his native Pakistan as part of an agreement with the U.S. government, which had charged him with overstaying his visa.
Ronald Le Fevre, chief counsel for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in San Francisco, said Ahmed's agreement to be deported would remove "a threat from our midst."
"Once he leaves the United States, Mr. Ahmed will no longer be in a position to advance any doctrine of hate from within our community," Le Fevre said.
