The student pilot is being held in an Orange County jail pending a hearing on his deportation today.

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency won’t give further details about Emed Elsayed.

Following Donald Trump calling for the banning of all Muslims from the United States, the Egyptian student posted that he would not mind being sentenced to life imprisonment for killing the Republican presidential hopeful and that if he did so he would be doing the world a favour.

US Secret Service Agents  turned up at the Southern California flight academy where Elsayed has been training to become a pilot after the owner reported the Facebook comment to federal authorities.
