Camovic was inspired by terrorism and repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack, the Department of Justice said. The migrant will be deported after completing his sentence.
"Today’s 30-year sentence, along with Camovic’s removal from the United States, guarantees the community will be protected from his hate-filled ideology and actions," said Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. "We will never stop working to protect the safety of our brave law enforcement officers and community from those who would do them harm."
