An Iraqi-born man who was arrested after entering a Texas elementary school clad in tactical gear and carrying a gun has been released back onto the streets.<\/p>\n
Kyle Najm Chris, also known as Muhi Mohanad Najm, showed up at Zwink Elementary School in Spring, Texas, last Tuesday and walked into the front office with a load-bearing vest, a taser, and a holstered firearm, according to court records. Chris, who became a naturalized United States citizen in 2022, was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, a third-degree felony.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old has since posted his $75,000 bond and was released from custody Sunday, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Chris allegedly walked into the school\u2019s front office in tactical gear with a holstered firearm after another visitor failed to close the door behind them. A school employee asked Chris how he got in, and he told her the door was unlatched.<\/p>\n
Chris also asked if there was armed security on school property, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
He was asked to provide an ID, but didn\u2019t give one, nor did he identify himself. Chris soon left the school and drove away.<\/p>\n
Chris had a private investigator license and a Texas concealed handgun license, but did not have any ties to the school, according<\/a> to local news outlet KHOU.<\/p>\n Chris is required to be under 24-hour house arrest with a GPS monitor and is banned from going near any Klein ISD property, according<\/a> to Fox 26.<\/p>\n The incident comes amid a string of terror attacks on United States soil that have allegedly been committed by naturalized citizens.<\/p>\n Last Thursday, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized citizen born in Sierra Leone, opened fire at Old Dominion University, killing a decorated service member. Jalloh was an ex-National Guard soldier previously convicted of terrorism charges after he tried to join ISIS.<\/p>\n BREAKING: @FoxNews<\/a> has obtained a photo of the Austin, TX mass shooter, armed & wearing a sweater that says \u201cProperty of Allah\u201d.

Ghazali was born in Lebanon and became a naturalized United States citizen in 2016.<\/p>\n The alleged shooter who opened fire on an Austin bar on March 1 was also a naturalized United States citizen born in Senegal. Ndiaga Diagne, 53, was donning clothes with the Iranian flag design and the words \u201cProperty of Allah\u201d when he fired the shots that killed three people.<\/p>\n The pattern of attacks has resulted in calls to reform the legal immigration system, which makes denaturalization difficult, even in cases where crimes have been committed. In most situations, federal authorities would have to find evidence of fraud tied to their immigration cases in order to pursue denaturalization, experts recently told The Daily Wire<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not talking about a crime, we\u2019re talking about an immigration law violation,\u201d immigration attorney Matthew Kolken said.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though the United States wants to denaturalize somebody because they engaged in an act of terrorism and murdered people in this country, the way that you would effectuate a denaturalization is if you discover a fraud that was not disclosed in furtherance of their immigration journey,\u201d Kolken added.<\/p>\n FBI Director Kash Patel said on X Tuesday that \u201ccurrent law makes revoking citizenship extremely difficult unless fraud in the naturalization process can be proven,\u201d adding that it creates a \u201cgap\u201d that \u201cleaves serious national security concerns, and it\u2019s a reality we have to confront head on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
