Biography
Ammaad Akhtar was arrested in Stockton, California, on June 24, 2025. Federal prosecutors allege that he sent money to people he believed were associated with ISIS, discussed violent attacks, pledged allegiance to the organization, and delivered cash, clothing, binoculars, two loaded guns, and magazines to an undercover employee. He remains detained while awaiting trial, and the allegations have not been proved.

Original court source and limits
Source document: The April 2026 order (Document 33, filed April 16) set a November 9, 2026 jury trial and a September 16 confirmation hearing, replacing the parties’ proposed September 18 date. Judge Dena Coggins signed the order April 15. It excluded April 17–November 9 from the Speedy Trial Act clock for defense preparation. These are dates set by that historical order, not proof that later hearings occurred or that the schedule remained unchanged. Procedural time exclusions are not a sentence or custody duration; no actual custody endpoints have been inferred.
