Hassan arrived in the United States in 2004 from a refugee camp in Kenya. En route to Alabama, he settled in South Dakota where he found a job at a local store as a packer.
According to his family, in 2005, Hassan was convicted for sleeping with an underage girl when he was a teenager. His five-year term in South Dakota State Penitentiary ended in 2010.
You could tell he was a changed man, Mohamed said of his elder brother. He wanted to find a job. He wanted to go to college. He was working so hard to get his life together. He wanted to become somebody.
The U.S. government, however, didnt give Hassan a second chance to become that somebody.
Were concerned about his safety, Mohamed said. No one is in Somalia for him no brother, no sister, no parents. No nothing.
