ORANGE (CBSLA.com)  —  The Egyptian student, who wrote on Facebook that he would be willing to serve a life sentence for killing Donald Trump, has agreed to leave the US by this summer.

KCAL9's Jeff Nguyen on Saturday spoke to Hani Bushra, lawyer for 23-year-old Emadeldin Elsayed

Elsayed is currently being held at Orange County's Theo Lacy Jail.

Bushra says his client has a new attitude.

"He urged me to try my best to find a way for him to leave as quickly as possible," Bushra said.

This comes after the owner of an El Monte flight school reported Elsayed to federal investigators last month. The Facebook post dated Feb. 3 said he would be willing to kill Trump and "the whole world would thank him for it."

"The US Supreme Court has held that genuine threats against the president or others can be punished. It came out of Vietnam era war case," says Brian Levin, an attorney and the director of the Center for Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino.

No criminal charges were filed.

But Elsayed was expelled from the flight school were he was learning to become a commercial pilot and the owner there revoked his student visa -which triggered a deportation process.

"This is a much easier path to send him home because once you lose your sponsor -- in this case the flight school -- you have no legal basis to remain in the United States. You don't even have to get to the level of a criminal charge," Levin said.

Elsayed's attorney says his client is expected to be escorted all the way back to Egypt.

"I've never heard of anything like this. Usually when somebody is escorted - he's escorted to the plane. And then the plane takes off and goes back to Egypt. But it seems that there's a desire to humiliate. Desire to make an example of him," says Bushra.

"The feds are not going to take any chances - particularly when they're not going to file criminal charges. They're going to want to make sure he's escorted and disembark in Egypt." Levin says.

Elsayed's attorney isn't sure when he'll be able to leave jail for Egypt.

In the meantime, he's trying to get his money back from the flight school. He was unable complete his courses because of the arrest.
