Is there something in the water in Colorado, or is it just the weed that makes people crazy and stupid (see also, Colorado Supreme Court)?

WESTMINSTER, Colo. — A Westminster 18-year-old who allegedly planned to join the Islamic State (ISIS) was arrested at the Denver International Airport Monday before boarding an international flight, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court of Colorado.

Humzah Mashkoor, 18, of Westminster is accused of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. He made his initial appearance in federal court Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice said.

According to court documents, Mashkoor landed on law enforcement's radar in November 2021 after he posted his support for ISIS on social media. He also used his social media to communicate with other ISIS supporters, the complaint states.

In September 2022, Mashkoor began communicating with an FBI agent who was posing as a fellow ISIS supporter.  ... As his 18th birthday approached in November 2023, Mashkoor began "making more concrete plans to travel abroad to join ISIS," the complaint reads.   ...

Serious question:
Why "stop" him?

Strip him of citizenship (if he has any)
I sense he's illegal or a refugee.
If so, strip him of refugee status.
Take away his green card if he has one.

Then... drop him right into isis territory.
He wants to go there?
Fine.
SEND him there, with no way to get back HERE.

I endorse this solution.

This clown says he's a U.S. citizen, alas, according to the above news story:

Mashkoor told one of the agents he was born in the United States and returned to Afghanistan for a few years "before his family was forced to leave Afghanistan." He later became interested in joining ISIS, according to court documents.
