- Sinmyah Amera Ceasar, a 30-year-old U.S. citizen from Brooklyn, was sentenced to 230 months (over 19 years) in prison for conspiring to provide material support to ISIS, obstructing justice, and failing to appear in court after attempting to flee the U.S.
- Between January and November 2016, Ceasar, using the alias “Umm Nutella,” used numerous social media accounts to promote ISIS, disseminate propaganda, and recruit individuals in the U.S. to join and fight for ISIS abroad, establishing contacts with ISIS members overseas.
