- Trevor William Forrest a.k.a Abdullah el-Faisal, 59, a Jamaican preacher, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for conspiracy and supporting terrorism after helping ISIS by praising its ideology in lectures, publishing propaganda online, and acting as a marriage broker for its fighters.
- The investigation into Faisal began in 2016 when a male detective sent him an email claiming to be a 24-year-old Turkish-American woman from Long Island named Rojin Ahmed.
- During Faisal’s trial, prosecutors played lectures in which he called for violence and promoted ISIS, and presented emails in which he gave out phone numbers to contact the group.
