A Texas man was charged in federal court after he attempted to provide material support to ISIS through an undercover agent, the Department of Justice said. Midlothian, Texas resident John Michael Garza, Jr.
, 21, was charged with attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. Speaking to Fox News Digital, FBI Director Kash Patel said that Garza 'took concrete steps toward violent jihad, fundraising for terrorists building explosive components.' 'The FBI identified the threat early, tracked it aggressively, and shut it down before anyone was harmed,' Patel said. 'Keeping Americans safe is our mission, and we’re executing it every day.'

'During the meeting, Garza described how to mix the components and offered to send an instructional video explaining how to build the bomb,' the DOJ said. 'Law enforcement agents arrested Garza shortly after he left the meeting.' The DOJ also said that Garza paid the undercover agent small amounts of cryptocurrency 'believing that he was supporting ISIS causes, including buying firearms and other materials.'
