The FBI raided the homes of two young men from Pennsylvania who have admitted they acted on behalf of ISIS when they attempted to bomb a protest in New York City over the weekend. The suspects—18-year-old Amir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi—are both U.S. residents who crossed state lines with explosives, leading the Department of Justice to charge them with five federal counts including interstate transportation of explosives.

One lived in a home valued at over $2 million with six bedrooms. Ben Dominic, host of the Big Ben Show and opinion editor at the Daily Wire, described the phenomenon as a new embrace of what used to be called "radical chic"—young people from comfortable backgrounds rebelling against the American dream, a dynamic he said is likely to continue in the wake of cases like Luigi Mangione's.
