46:55Now PlayingA Tajik national living illegally in Brooklyn, Mansuri Manuchekhri, was arrested on February 26th for allegedly conspiring to fund the Islamic State (IS) and its Central Asian affiliate, ISIS-K. According to the FBI, Manuchekhri entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in June 2016 but overstayed after it expired in December 2016. In March 2017, he attempted to gain legal status by paying an American citizen for a sham marriage, but his petition failed due to missing documentation. From December 2021 to April 2023, he allegedly funneled approximately $70,000 to ISIS-linked operatives in Turkey and Syria, including a suspect later arrested for a January 2024 terrorist attack on an Istanbul church. The complaint also states that Manuchekhri actively supported ISIS by praising past attacks in the U.S. and collecting jihadi propaganda promoting violence and martyrdom. Despite being prohibited from possessing firearms as an illegal alien, he frequently visited shooting ranges and trained with assault rifles, even sending a video of himself firing a weapon in New Jersey to an ISIS affiliate with the message, "Thank God, I am ready, brother." A concerned relative reported him to the New York State Terrorism Tips Hotline, fearing he might commit violence. Now facing charges of terrorism financing, immigration fraud, and illegal firearm possession, Manuchekhri could face up to 45 years in prison if convicted.
