From CA to NJ, Muslim men are being arrested for supporting ISIS
From California to Kansas to New Jersey, young Muslim men are being arrested and charged with wide ranging plans to support Islamic terrorism and kill Americans.
The arrests are being made as Congress continues to highlight ongoing Islamic terrorist threats. The U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence addressed ongoing threats pointing to three high profile Islamic terrorist attacks that occurred in March alone.
The U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security also published a “Terror Threat Snapshot” highlighting recent terrorist acts in the U.S. The majority are linked to or inspired by foreign terrorist organizations. They include those who’ve provided material support to ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham (ISIS)), Hezbollah and al Queda, who received military level training from Hezbollah and al Queda, and whose stated inspiration is foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), The Center Square reported.
Islamic terrorist cases are being prosecuted by U.S. attorneys in at least 25 states.
The latest two are in New Jersey and Kansas.
On Monday, a Muslim man living in Wayne, New Jersey, Mohamed Sagha, 22, was charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated FTO: ISIS. He made his initial appearance in federal court and was ordered detained.
“As alleged, the defendant sought to support ISIS and expressed interest in violence directed at targets within the United States, including places of worship,” U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Robert Frazer said. “Those who seek to advance the objectives of foreign terrorist organizations should expect a swift and coordinated response from federal law enforcement.”
