From The American Interest's "Seven in the Morning" dispatch:

Two Mississippi residents have been arrested by federal officers for attempting to leave America and join ISIS. Jaelyn Delshaun Young and Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla, a couple, were grabbed this weekend before they could catch their first plane on the way to Turkey, bringing to a conclusion an FBI investigation into their activities. The FBI first started watching Young and Dakhlalla when Young tweeted that she wanted to join up with ISIS in Syria; subsequent conversations with undercover FBI agents lead to the couples' arrest. Ironically, given that tweeting led to their undoing, Young praised Dakhlalla's media skills, telling an undercover FBI agent that he would help ISIS fight slanderous reporting by U.S. media.

Both are reported to have confessed, making them just two out of many Western citizens who have sought to join ISIS. One estimate puts the total number of Western ISIS recruits at 3,400.
