Gregory Hubbard, 52, Darren Jackson, 50, and Dayne Christian, 31, were charged with conspiring to attempt to provide material support and resources to the Islamic State terrorist group.
"Individuals seeking to travel and take up arms with ISIL pose a threat to the United States and humanity across the globe," said U.S. Attorney Ferrer. This was the justification given for their charges.
