CONTROVERSY CONTINUES OVER SYRIAN MUSIC GROUP


The controversy over a Syrian musical group continues, and DHS and other officials are expected to brief Capitol Hill about an incident involving the group on a flight in June. "Mr. Mehana's [the band leader] 14 Syrian band members were detained by officials June 29 upon deplaning Northwest Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles, for acting in a suspicious manner that concerned the flight crew and air marshals on board," the Washington Times reports. "An Immigration Customs Enforcement official said Monday the men had overstayed their visit and should have returned on June 10, but a Homeland Security Department spokesman said they learned late Tuesday that an extension had been granted through July 15."
