Mansuri Manuchekhri was arrested for allegedly conspiring to provide material support to ISIS and ISIS-K, including wiring $70,000 to affiliates overseas. Despite residing in the U.S. on an expired visa, he reportedly possessed firearms and had jihadist material in his possession. The FBI's investigation unveiled his actions, including recording himself firing an assault weapon and sharing the video with an ISIS-linked individual. His attorney has questioned the evidence against him, framing the financial support claims as potentially mischaracterized. The NYPD emphasizes their commitment to thwarting threats from extremists.
"I look forward to seeing the government's actual evidence, not mere allegations, proving that purportedly sending financial support to orphans and widows makes him a terrorist."
"The NYPD will stop at nothing to protect New Yorkers from those who support and pledge loyalty to violent ISIS extremists," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.
