New: A Russian Just Convicted of Terrorism Illegally Crossed the SW Border
Biden DOJ press releases omitted that the Russian family man had illegally crossed the southern border and that the FBI regarded him as a high attack risk

As the California terrorism prosecution against Russian national Mura Kurashev progressed from 2021 indictment through his 2024 sentencing, no government press release or media report mentioned the one fact that would resonate with an American public anxious about the historic mass migration border crisis that raged outside the Sacramento courtroom.
It was that Kurashev, a 37-year-old father of three who hailed from the Russian Federation’s terrorism-addled Kabardino-Balkaria region next door to Chechnya, got into the United States by illegally crossing the Southwest Border from Mexico with his wife and young children, court records from the case reveal.
The Kurashev terrorism case — he wired money to Syria for guns and battle motorcycles but also posed a credible attack threat himself — marks rare confirmation of a national security fear often expressed as the worst mass migration crisis in U.S. history unfolded at the Southwest Border during the 2021-24 Sacramento prosecution.
