Two Florida men have pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material to support to the ISIS terror group, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday in yet another example of Americans attempting to help terror groups.

Lake Park Florida resident Dayne Antani Christian, also know as Shakur, entered a guilty plea, as did Darren Arness Jackson, also known as Daoud, a West Palm Beach resident.

The two men were arrested by federal authorities after helping individuals, including an FBI informant, travel abroad to train with ISIS terrorists in Syria, according to the Justice Department.

"According to admissions made as part of their guilty pleas, both Christian and Jackson talked … about their support of ISIL and various acts of terrorism committed by and attributed to ISIL and its supporters," according to the Justice Department. "Both Christian and Jackson expressed a desire to travel to Syria to join ISIL. At various times during the conspiracy both Christian and Jackson provided firearms (including an AK-47 style assault rifle provided by Christian) and firearms instruction" in preparation for travel to Syria."
