Jaziri came to prominence in 2006 when he called for the murder of a Danish cartoonist that drew a rendering of the prophet Mohammed.
After eventually making his way to southern Mexico from Europe, Jaziri took a bus to Tijuana where he paid smugglers $5,000 to get to somewhere safe in America.
No word yet on what he had planned.

From the Daily Mail:
U.S. border guards got a surprise when they searched a Mexican BMW and found a hardline Muslim cleric – banned from France and Canada – curled up in the boot.
Said Jaziri, who called for the death of a Danish cartoonist that drew pictures of the prophet Mohammed, was being smuggled into California when he was arrested, along with his driver Kenneth Robert Lawler.
The 43-year-old was deported from Canada to his homeland Tunisia in 2007 after it emerged he had lied on his refugee application about having served jail time in France.
Was he fleeing something or plotting an attack? Share your thoughts below!
