Episode Details

A Maryland college student just got 15 years in federal prison for trying to join ISIS — and he’s not done yet. Michael Sam Teekaye Jr., 22, admitted to plotting to travel to Somalia to fight for the terror group, even securing an e-visa and plane tickets. Authorities say he was actively preparing, buying ammo, practicing at a range, and coordinating with an ISIS fighter — all while on probation for another case. He was arrested at the airport after checking in for his flight, then allegedly threatened violence and assaulted an officer. The feds say they stopped him before he could carry out an attack — and he’ll spend the rest of his life under supervised release.
