CHICAGO — Two Illinois men were arrested on Wednesday on charges they conspired to help ISIS, with one suspect saying he wanted to see the jihadist group’s flag over the White House, the Justice Department said.

Joseph Jones and Edward Schimenti, both 35 and from Zion, Illinois, appeared before a federal magistrate in Chicago and were ordered held pending a detention hearing on Monday, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office told Reuters.

The pair pledged allegiance to ISIS and took to social media to back violence in support of the militant group.

Jones and Schimenti discussed backing ISIS with two undercover FBI employees and an informant and shared photographs of themselves displaying the ISIS flag at a state park, the statement said.

Schimenti told the informant he would like to see the flag “on top of the White House,” according to a 77-page criminal complaint.

Last month, Schimenti and Jones furnished cellular phones to the informant, believing they would be used to set off explosives in ISIS attacks, the complaint said.

Thinking the informant would be traveling overseas to join ISIS, Schimenti worked out with him at a gym to get him in shape for combat.

Jones and Schimenti drove the informant to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport last week, believing the informant would be flying to Syria to fight with ISIS.

If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison
