Jamal Borhot, 35, was convicted in December of three counts of participation in a terrorist group for assisting in the terrorist activities of ISIS in Syria in 2013.
Court heard Mr. Borhot and his cousin Hussein Borhot illegally entered Syria through Turkey. Hussein Borhot pleaded guilty in a separate trial and was sentenced in 2022 to 12 years.
