Ramic asks U.S. Supreme Court to hear appeal in terror case

A Bowling Green man convicted of crimes stemming from his membership in ISIS has formally petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear his appeal.

Mirsad Ramic, 36, was sentenced to 101 months in prison in 2025 after being found guilty in U.S. District Court of providing material support and resources to ISIS, conspiring to provide material support to ISIS and receiving military-type training from a designated terrorist organization.

Ramic’s criminal trial featured evidence that he and two other people left Bowling Green in 2014 and traveled to Syria to join ISIS, which is designated by the U.S. Department of State as a foreign terrorist organization.

Ramic enlisted as a fighter, trained with weapons and took part in an offensive against Kurdish militants during the siege of the Syrian city of Kobani in 2014-15 before leaving ISIS and going to Turkey in 2015, where he was arrested and imprisoned.

He was charged with terror-related offenses in 2021, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit upheld his conviction but ordered earlier this year that he be resentenced, ruling that the 101-month term was “shockingly low” for his crimes.
