Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday requested the public’s help in locating an illegal Jordanian migrant who allegedly trespassed onto a major Marine Corps base in Virginia last year — and was let go by the Biden administration.
“ICE Homeland Security Investigations needs help locating Mohammad Khair Hasan Mohammad Dabous,” ICE said in the notice posted on X.
Dabous, 28, entered the US as a foreign student on Sept. 11, 2022, but failed to attend classes, according to ICE.
Dabous and fellow Jordanian national Hasan Yousef Hamdan, 32, were arrested on May 3, 2024, for allegedly trespassing at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.
Dabous allegedly drove onto the base in a box truck with Hamdan in the passenger seat and refused Marine Corps Police orders to stop his vehicle at a checkpoint for inspection.
Officers were forced to deploy “vehicle denial barriers” to stop Dabous’ vehicle from continuing.
Both men were detained and handed over to ICE.
They were cut loose the following month after posting bond on their immigration cases.
Hamdan has since been re-arrested by ICE, but Dabous remains at large.
ICE believes Dabous “moved to the Los Angeles region & is likely living in Orange County, Calif.”
The agency, describing Dabous as a “person of interest,” asked the public to contact 866-DHS-2-ICE if they have information on his whereabouts.
Capt. Michael Curtis, a spokesman for the base, previously revealed to The Post that Dabous told the military police officers guarding the entry gate that “they worked for a company subcontracted by Amazon and were making a delivery to the U.S. Post Office located in the Town of Quantico.”
However, the pair lacked “approved credentials” to enter the military installation, said Curtis.
Dabous’ argued the whole incident was “due to a language barrier.”
