A long-term resident of Seattle and well-known community activist,[3] Ujaama was arrested under terrorism charges in July 2002, the first American to be detained on US soil while under investigation using the Patriot Act.[4] Amid conflicting reports and media coverage of the extent of his involvement in terrorist networks, he was convicted three times of various offences, in 2003, 2007, and 2015. He cooperated extensively with the government and testifed against other terrorists, and since 2015 has embarked upon an academic career.
