Immigration and Customs Enforcement told ABC7 that Sidi Muhammad Abdellahi is a Mauritanian national who U.S Border Patrol first encountered in the country last year.
An alleged hate crime in Chicago has rocked the city's Jewish community. Sidi Muhammad Abdellahi is facing charges in the West Rogers Park shooting. That is why there are federal agencies now involved in this investigation.
Now, ICE is involved in the investigation, telling ABC7 it has requested a removal detainer on the suspect, meaning the agency must be notified if he is going to be released. Abdellahi has not appeared in court yet as he remains in the ICU for injuries suffered in a shootout with police. That shootout happened just 20 minutes after he allegedly shot a 39-year-old man near North Washtenaw Avenue.
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx said her team is not ready to comment on the immigration status of the suspect.
