Yusuf Abdirizak Wehelie, who had been convicted of felony burglary in Virginia, was not permitted to possess a firearm due to his state conviction. Wehelie acquired firearms from an undercover agent, who paid $300 for Wehelie to transport the weapons. At sentencing, the government presented evidence that Wehelie had discussed conducting an attack in the United States on behalf of the Islamic State and traveling to the Middle East to join the terrorist group.
