The lunatic illegal migrant who allegedly tried to hijack a United Airlines flight out of New Jersey by threatening to detonate a bomb reportedly evaded deportation in 2019 by claiming he was trans. Honduran Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, who was deported from the United States twice, was granted asylum in 2020 after alleging that he would be persecuted back home for being transgender, law enforcement sources told The Daily Wire. Immigration officials previously told The Post that Gomez-Alberto, 34, was arrested twice in the US and deported – first in September 2011 near El Indio, Texas, and again in October 2014 in Columbus, New Mexico.
