EXPLOSIVE: Counterterrorism Expert Tells Senate Hearing Michigan Dem Senate Nominee Abdul El-Sayed Has Deep Ties to Muslim Brotherhood Network and Terror-Linked Groups Through Father-in-Law and Emgage | Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit

A top counterterrorism expert delivered a bombshell warning Wednesday during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood’s network operating “hidden in plain sight” in America: Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s candidacy raises serious national security concerns because of his family and organizational connections to Brotherhood-linked groups and figures with terror ties.

Kyle Shideler, Senior Analyst for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy, testified under questioning that El-Sayed’s rise should alarm Americans.

Just one day after El-Sayed narrowly clinched the Democrat primary over establishment favorite Rep. Haley Stevens, Shideler laid out the web of associations.

“I look at the connections that his father-in-law, Jukaku Tayeb, has [to] TWO brotherhood-linked groups,” Shideler stated. “This includes being the president at one time of CAIR Michigan, also his presence on the Islamic Society of North America Founders Committee — which is only for those most exclusively devoted to ISNA and provide a significant amount of funding. There are other known brotherhood members on that committee.”

“I would also look at El-Sayed’s ties to a group called Emgage, which purports to be a Muslim, sort of, get out the vote or a candidate recruitment organization, but it has close ties to CAIR. It was created by a former CAIR member who at one time was on a terror watch list and was also a consultant to convicted terrorist, Sami Al-Arian.”

Shideler confirmed the Muslim Brotherhood partners with the Democratic Socialists of America, the same far-left network that has enthusiastically backed El-Sayed.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who chaired the hearing titled “Hidden in Plain Sight: Confronting the Muslim Brotherhood Network in America,” highlighted the testimony.

“A counterterrorism expert testified today that Abdul El-Sayed’s candidacy for Senate concerns him. He cited El-Sayed’s ties to Emgage, its close ties to CAIR, and his father-in-law’s leadership roles in Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations. Then he confirmed the Muslim Brotherhood partners with the Democratic Socialists of America. Michigan voters deserve answers about who is behind Abdul El-Sayed.”

This is no fringe allegation. Federal prosecutors named both CAIR and ISNA as unindicted co-conspirators in the landmark Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial, which convicted defendants of funneling millions to Hamas.

A federal judge later ruled there was “ample evidence” of the groups’ links to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas support networks.

Tayeb served as president of CAIR-Michigan from 2005 to 2010 and remains on its board. He has also sat on ISNA’s exclusive Founders Committee since at least 2007, a body for major funders and the organization’s most devoted figures.

Tayeb is no distant relative. He has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Fighting for Michigan PAC supporting his son-in-law’s Senate bid, making him one of its largest individual donors.

Meanwhile, El-Sayed’s own campaign has taken more than $115,000 from dozens of current and former CAIR officials and board members, including national leadership, according to a Fox News Digital review, even as El-Sayed campaigns against “money in politics.”

Emgage’s origins track the same network. Co-founded by Khurrum Wahid, a former CAIR legal advisor and Florida chapter officer, the group has faced scrutiny for its CAIR and ISNA partnerships.

Wahid was reportedly placed on a terrorism watch list and served as a consultant in the case of Sami Al-Arian, the former University of South Florida professor who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a designated terrorist organization.

El-Sayed has a documented history of soft-pedaling the Muslim Brotherhood itself. He signed onto a 2012 statement defending the Brotherhood’s rule in Egypt and Mohammed Morsi’s power grab.

He previously served in leadership with the Muslim Students Association, an organization with historical Brotherhood roots. He has headlined events tied to groups facing terror-financing scrutiny and campaigned alongside figures who refuse to condemn terrorism.

Democrats on the subcommittee boycotted the hearing entirely, claiming it was about “scapegoating Muslims.” Meanwhile, Michigan Democrats just nominated a candidate whose family sits at the center of the very network experts say the federal government once mapped as part of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s infrastructure.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The WNBA is stunned after former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom files to participate in the WNBA draft next year, and play in the league against women — because the league REFUSES to define "woman"

He'd instantly be the most dominant player:

Height: 6 foot 10
Weight: 250 pounds

The WNBA would have to define "WOMAN" under the biological definition to block Enes Freedom from playing, and effectively ABOLISH their inclusion policies

This is a masterclass move! 🤣🤣🤣

Fearless journalist Lara Logan just ripped the mask off the media’s deliberate silence.

While Muslim militants in Nigeria systematically slaughter Christians (kidnapping women and children, burning entire villages alive), the Western mainstream media looks the other way.

They protect Islam’s false image as a “religion of peace”.

Please keep these persecuted Christians in your prayers.

Yuval Duek bravely fought Hamas on October 7th in her pajamas, armed only with a pistol to defend herself. She eliminated several terrorists, led the battle alongside other soldiers, and saved countless lives.

She survived to tell her story.

🚨BREAKING: Minnesota Governor candidate Kendall Qualls says he will abolish all Sanctuary City laws in Minnesota and everyone will only follow American Law.

“The number one thing, this whole idea of a sanctuary city, sanctuary state would be eliminated. That's number one. We have one constitution, one rule of law. We're a nation of laws or we're not a nation at all”.

This is the type of leadership Minnesota needs!

Elon Musk is literally carrying America on his back

At this point, the whole America vs China industrial race is actually

Elon Musk vs China

China is an entire industrial superpower

Thousands of companies, massive supply chains. Enormous manufacturing capacity, state-backed infrastructure....

And yet across many of the technologies defining the future, America’s strongest counterweight keeps coming back to one man: Elon Musk

EVs + autonomy
Tesla vs China

Humanoid robots
Optimus vs China

AI + massive data centers
SpaceXAI / Colossus vs China

Batteries + grid storage
Tesla Energy vs China

Lithium refining + battery materials
Tesla vs China

Advanced manufacturing
Tesla + SpaceX vs China

Space launch + reusable rockets
SpaceX vs China

Satellite internet
Starlink vs China

Logic + memory + advanced chip packaging
TerraFab vs China

Energy infrastructure
Tesla solar + storage vs China

Orbital AI compute
SpaceX vs China

Now zoom out and look at the stack:

EVs → batteries → energy → AI → robots → chips → manufacturing → rockets → satellites → orbital compute

These are not isolated businesses. Each layer increasingly feeds the next

Elon is literally building an American industrial stack capable of going head-to-head with the industrial power of China itself

One ecosystem vs an industrial superpower

Absolutely insane when you zoom out

Alleged Walmart Thieves Wind Up in ICE Custody After Biden-Era Release | Jeff Charles, Townhall

Three Biden-era illegal aliens from Venezuela are now in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody as they face multiple theft-related charges in West Virginia, Townhall has learned.

The West Virginia State Police said last month that there were ICE detainers placed against the men so they can be deported, according to WCHS.

“These three criminal illegal aliens are all charged with larceny after two separate thefts on the same day in West Virginia,” a DHS Spokesperson said in a statement.

“None of these illegal aliens would have been in our country if it weren’t for the reckless open-border policies of the Biden Administration, which RELEASED them all into our communities. Thanks to our state and local partners, these criminals are now in ICE custody and we will REMOVE them from our country,” the spokesperson continued.

There were two different theft cases that unfolded on July 26, including at a Walmart in Weston, WV, where Daniel Alberto Arias Ramirez and Deivis Willyan Diaz allegedly stole $21,000 worth of jewelry from the store while it was dealing with flood restoration.

The duo is facing charges for “conspiracy to commit a felony” and grand larceny, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The department noted that Diaz has been previously arrested in Colorado for illegally having a concealed weapon and assault.

Diaz and Ramirez both came to the U.S. illegally through the Texas southern border in 2024 and 2023, respectively, and then were “released” while then-Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was at the helm of DHS. However, Ramirez has had a federal “final order of removal” since December 2024.

Meanwhile, Oscar Jose Hernandez Silva is facing “petit larceny” allegations for a Sutton, West Virginia theft. Hernandez crossed illegally into the country in California in 2024, and he’s believed to have been in the country since then.

FOOTAGE: Hiding from Hamas on October 7th, Noam Shallom (25), a Jewish social media manager from Israel, filmed this in her last moments on earth.

She was slaughtered by Hamas terrorists.

It wasn't "resistance"—it was genocide.

Pray for the peace of her soul💔
