Sajmir Alimehmeti, a onetime plumbing assistant who has studied funeral services, was ordered held without bail after Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan Quigley argued that the U.S. citizen was a flight risk and a danger to the community after assisting law enforcement undercover operatives who posed over the last half year as men eager to support the Islamic State. According to court papers, Alimehmeti tried this month to provide advice and assistance to an undercover operative he thought was traveling from New York to Syria to train and fight with the Islamic State. According to the court papers, Alimehmeti was told that one of his undercover law enforcement contacts was going to join the Islamic State and Alimehmeti "expressed his excitement at this and inquired whether he could travel," as well.
