Despite being born and raised in the United States, Zea allegedly betrayed his country and attempted to travel to Yemen in order to join a terrorist organization and commit murder," said U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch.

Once home, Zea continued participating in the conspiracy, providing money and instructing co-conspirator Justin Kaliebe on how to evade electronic surveillance by law enforcement as he discussed Kaliebe's plans to fight jihad, according to court papers.

Zea was inspired by terrorist propaganda, said George Venizelos, head of the FBI's New York office.

Did you ever notice how these U.S. citizens who join foreign terrorist organizations come from blue states? And yet all we hear about these days is right-wing extremists.

All these foreigners here who have kids here still never become Americans. They have not fought in wars to defend this country, and they spend their time celebrating their ‘heritage’.

We don’t need them.

I’m surprised that we don’t see more of these idiots from deep blue states trying to join Al Qaeda. Burqas turn them on.
