FBI arrest three ISIS supporters

Former Navy Sailor Accused of ISIS Plot Against US Troops

Federal agents arrested Bereen Dzayee, 25, of Lakeside, California, on Friday after prosecutors accused him of helping support an ISIS-linked scheme aimed at U.S. troops overseas. Neighbors and a former classmate identified Dzayee as a former U.S. Navy sailor.

The FBI also arrested Bisaam Ghafoor, 21, of Leawood, Kansas, and Elias Shamsaldeen, 21, of Porterville, California. Prosecutors say all three men spent more than a year talking about attacks, raising money, and expressing support for the terrorist group.

According to federal court filings, the men communicated through Discord chats, voice calls, and other messaging platforms from at least February 2025 through June 2026. Investigators say they pledged allegiance to ISIS and discussed traveling overseas to fight for the organization.

The complaint also says the group sent more than $2,000 to a person they believed was an ISIS member. Prosecutors allege the money was meant to help buy drones and rocket-propelled grenades for attacks on American servicemembers deployed abroad. They also say the men explored a cryptocurrency setup to help finance the operation.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement: “This administration has put terrorists, cartels, and gangs on notice. Today’s arrest of three individuals who allegedly conspired to provide material support to ISIS makes clear our commitment to taking down terrorist networks, anywhere.

Thanks to the vigilance of the FBI, their alleged scheme was dismantled and further acts of violence against U.S. service members were prevented.”
