GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Three Lansing residents were arrested Monday at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids for "conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, namely the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Michigan said. ISIS was classified as a foreign terrorist organization in 2014.

Muse Abdikadir Muse, 20, Mohamud Abdikadir Muse, 23, and Mohamed Salat Haji, 26, are facing a conspiracy charge, punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison. Muse Muse and Mohamud Muse are brothers; Haji is their cousin.

Members of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested Muse Muse at the airport after he checked in for flights to travel from Michigan to Mogadishu, Somalia. Shortly after his arrest, law enforcement arrested Mohamud Muse and Haji.
