Maine refugee ‘on welfare’ fought for ISIS

'Embarrassed' governor orders review of benefits for immigrants

The unsealing of an FBI file on a Maine refugee who was killed overseas fighting for ISIS has stirred controversy in the state over the granting of welfare benefits to refugees.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage told the Boston Herald that Adnan Fazeli and his family received cash and food stamp benefits befor Fazeli left Portland, Maine, on Aug. 13, 2013, on a flight to Turkey. Fazeli was killed in Lebanon last year while fighting for ISIS, according to the federal court documents.
