Pratt, a FedEx worker who dropped out of the Navy Seals, was sentenced four months after pleading guilty to two counts of concealing material support to a foreign terrorist organization in a case that developed after prosecutors accused him of unwittingly exchanging incriminating messages with an FBI informant. During those chats, Pratt said Americans "are savages. Like rabid dogs" and said he wanted to create a terrorist cell in Metro Detroit.

Prosecutors also alleged Pratt stockpiled weapons and battlefield gear, tried to obtain advanced missile technologies and acquire explosive devices -- including suicide drones and remote-controlled cars.
The court filing offered an intimate view of the roots of a terrorism investigation and a profile of an accused ISIS volunteer who wanted to leave America.
Prosecutors included photos of handwritten plans by Pratt to create an ISIS intelligence unit to "kill or kidnap without detection" and pictures of Pratt with firearms. That included an image of a loaded handgun federal agents found hidden within a dog food container during FBI raids across the region.
