A former neighbor suspected of supplying guns to the married couple who massacred 14 people in San Bernardino, California, was charged on Thursday with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists

Home - Enrique Marquez, 24, a friend of Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, who launched the Islamic State-inspired attack on Dec. 2 with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 29, also told investigators he and Farook plotted earlier mass casualty attacks, prosecutors said.

U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker said the two men conspired to commit "vicious" assaults on targets including a California community college and a state highway during rush hour.

"Even though these plans were not carried out, Mr. Marquez's criminal conduct deeply affected San Bernardino ... and the entire United States when the guns purchased by Marquez were used to kill 14 innocent people and wound many others," Decker said in a written statement.

Decker said there was no evidence that Marquez took part in Dec. 2 attack or had prior knowledge of it. He was arrested on Thursday, authorities said, and was expected to make an initial appearance in federal court later on Thursday.

What are the implications of migration from California to Texas?

The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of movement, allowing people to relocate freely between states. As such, individuals have the right to choose where they want to live and work within the country. While California cannot prevent people from leaving the state, it can take measures to address the factors that contribute to emigration. California could focus on improving the quality of life, creating more job opportunities, and addressing issues such as high housing costs and taxes, which are often cited as reasons for people leaving the state. Efforts to retain residents could include investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and attracting businesses that provide job opportunities.
