Barr said 21 Saudi cadets were "disenrolled from their training curriculum" in the U.S. military and would leave the United States later on Monday after an investigation showed they either had child pornography or social media accounts containing Islamic extremist or anti-American content.

All of this was found but Donny’s administration didn’t boot these people and instead they were recalled by SA? More of Donny’s glaring incompetence shining through.

the Saudis I have met all fit into the above category

motivated by jihadist ideology

Not unusual for a Wahhabi Sunni. Until the US reduces its reliance on burning such huge amounts of oil and gas, until the US becomes less dependent on 'partnerships' (think purchasers of US weapons) with KSA and other Gulf theocracies, until the US can get its forces out of the ME, expect more conflicts.

But the slaughter of an American journalist by the Saudi regime?!?

Another Trump bromance with a dictator.

Hopefully this doesn't jeopardize our billion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia where we send them our troops for cash.

Yet they will somehow escape the ban list I bet

After Florida killings, Saudis withdraw 21 cadets from U.S.

Barr said 21 Saudi cadets were "disenrolled from their training curriculum" in the U.S. military and would leave the United States later on Monday after an investigation showed they either had child pornography or social media accounts containing Islamic extremist or anti-American content.

Barr indicated that it was Saudi Arabia that withdrew the 21 cadets, rather than the United States formally expelling them, and said the Saudi authorities told him they would consider filing criminal charges against them. A Justice Department official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said U.S. officials agreed with the decision to withdraw them.

Barr said one Saudi individual had "a significant number" of child pornography images, while 14 others "had one or two images, in most cases posted in a chat room by someone else or received over social media." A total of 17 - including some of those with child pornography images - had social media accounts containing some jihadi or anti-American content, Barr said.

It doesn't matter who is responsible for removing these scum from the U.S.A., as long as they are gone.

Saudi Arabians have little love for the US and this was shown particularly by 9/11.

Then the Americans invaded......Iraq?

Remember Sept. 11th, most of the terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. In general, the Saudis hate the U.S.A. more than anybody. What does that tell you?

That the number one sponsor of terrorism and defiler of human rights will continue to be feted by the US govt because, at the end of the day, it's all about money. The 3000 people who died on September 11th will be dismissed by supporters of both immoral regimes as victims of "friendly fire" or something equally disgusting.

Slow learners... How many of the 9/11 terrorists were “training” in the US?

The US needs to look a little south of Iran to find the real danger.
