Texas Man Charged In ISIS-Related Terror Case
4 weeks ago
A 21-year-old man from Texas has been federally charged with international terrorism after authorities say he provided bomb-making materials and money to people he believed were linked to the Islamic State.
Federal prosecutors say John Michael Garza Jr. gave explosive materials to an undercover agent he thought was affiliated with ISIS. Garza is scheduled for a probable cause and detention hearing on Tuesday, where prosecutors are expected to outline their evidence.
If convicted, Garza could face up to 20 years in federal prison. Court records do not list an attorney for Garza, and the federal public defender’s office in Dallas did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
