Prosecutors argued that Mansuri Manuchekhri's messages with ISIS-affiliated people suggested he may be preparing a violent assault to support the terrorist organisation
A Tajikistan man living illegally in the US has been arrested for allegedly helping the terrorist group ISIS. Mansuri Manuchekhri sent $70,000 (over Rs 61 lakh) to people linked to ISIS between December 2021 and April 2023, believing it was going to help the families of dead ISIS fighters, according to reports.
During a court hearing in New York's Brooklyn, Manuchekhri was denied bail. Prosecutors argued that his messages with ISIS-affiliated people suggested he may be preparing a violent assault to support the organisation.
According to the federal complaint, the 34-year-old texted a Turkish contact, "Thank God, I am ready, brother," along with a 17-second video of him shooting an assault rifle at a shooting range in New Jersey. He also said that he went for training at least once or twice a week.
Manuchekhri, a truck driver, came to the US in 2016 on a tourist visa. But after it expired, he faked a marriage with a stripper from the Bronx in 2017 to get a green card. His ex-wife reported him to the authorities.
Officials also reported that Manuchekhri, who was living illegally in Brooklyn, often used to show off his gun skills to his friends who sympathised with ISIS. According to court documents, federal officials found a picture of Manuchekhri joyfully flashing two AK-47 guns into the air.

Seriously, the Democrats do not even want these criminals or possible terrorists deported. You have to wonder "why?".
How does an illegal get two AK-47s?
How does an illegal get two AK-47s?
Good question.
Do something! Quick! We need more laws to stop Americans from buying firearms.
How does an illegal alien get that much cash to squander?
Plenty of wealthy and not so wealthy Muslims in America will donate to terrorist organizations, not always completely voluntarily.
Way back when, Irish would come to America and raise money for the IRA.
I think the only reason we don’t get hit hard and often is because almost all of the terrorists are idiots.
Or $70,000..
