Minneapolis Man Gets 8.5 Years For Trying To Join ISIS In Somalia
He will serve 15 years of supervised release after federal prosecutors said he repeatedly tried to travel to Somalia and praised ISIS online.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Donovan W. Frank sentenced Minneapolis resident Abdisatar Ahmed Hassan, 23, to 102 months in prison and 15 years of supervised release for attempting to provide material support to ISIS.
- Hassan quit his job and liquidated his savings to fund a one-way trip to Somalia in December 2024, attempting to join the terrorist organization; Customs and Border Protection stopped him twice during failed airport departures.
- Court documents revealed Hassan consumed ISIS propaganda and obtained manuals for making "highly explosive" materials; he praised the 2025 New Orleans attack that killed 14 Americans, calling the perpetrator a "legend that killed Americans."
- Following FBI surveillance, authorities arrested Hassan on February 27, 2025, discovering a homemade ISIS flag and long-bladed knife in his possession, evidence that corroborated his guilty plea to terrorism charges.
- Federal prosecutors argued for a 17-year sentence, characterizing Hassan's actions as "persistent, calculated, and undeterred," while his defense requested five years based on comparable terrorism-related convictions with shorter terms.
