Hamed Alsaidi of Oak Lawn was arrested in Mokena on Saturday, for walking in the street, near 191st Street and LaGrange Road, police said.
The ABC7 I-Team learned exclusively Wednesday that Alsaidi is now in ICE custody in Indiana after initially being released to home confinement as he was charged in Will County.
According to federal databases, Alsaidi is originally from Jordan and is now being held by ICE in Indiana. Between his appearance in Will County Court and subsequent release to his home this week, he was detained by ICE and is facing the possibility of deportation.
Local investigators said they found eight Molotov cocktails in his bag Saturday, along with a map of the area, that included the Orland Park Prayer Center.
Orland Park police say they're in close communication with Mokena police about possible threats to the mosque.
Alsaidi was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and obstructing identification, Will County officials said.

The suspect has an active order of protection against residents and addresses in Orland Park, police said.
Alsaidi appeared in court Sunday and was released on electronic monitoring, before later being taken into federal custody.
The FBI is also involved in the investigation.
The Orland Park Prayer Center did not immediately respond to ABC7's request for comment.
The I-Team has reached out to Mokena police, the U.S. Attorney's office and ICE, but have not yet heard back.
