(Reuters) A Brooklyn woman who faces a resentencing for supporting Islamic State but skipped a court hearing because she feared being sent back to prison has been arrested in New Mexico, U.S. prosecutors said.
Sinmyah Amera Ceasar, who prosecutors said used the name “Umm Nutella” in her role as a “committed recruiter” for Islamic State, was arrested on Friday afternoon by FBI agents following a nationwide search, prosecutors said in a letter on Sunday.
Ceasar, 26, had missed a scheduled appearance in Brooklyn federal court on Aug. 25, one week after the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan threw out what it called her “shockingly low” four-year prison term and ordered her resentenced.
