Former CIA Informant Blerim Skoro Faces Deportation Despite Terrorism Cooperation
Blerim Skoro, a Kosovo-born former CIA informant who aided U.S. intelligence by infiltrating al-Qaeda and other terror groups after 9/11, faces deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Despite his cooperation leading to arrests and a prior deferral of removal due to risks of torture if returned, ICE arrested him during a paperwork renewal. Skoro, married to an American with children, and his legal team are seeking to halt the deportation proceedings, citing promises of protection and residency.
