Abdirahman Daud, Mohamed Farah and Guled Omar are all on trial accused of trying to join ISIS.

Judge Michael Davis talked to Daud's mother, Farhiyo Mohamed, late Tuesday morning because she confronted the mother of Abdirizak Warsame.

Warsame is one of six original defendants who pleaded guilty in the case.

Davis told Mohamed, "I can't have you confronting anyone else."

He then talked to Abdirizak Warsame's mother.

"I know it's really tense. I don't want you to be fearful and there won't be any other confrontations here," Davis said.

Warsame took the stand later in the afternoon, testifying that he and the three defendants all talked about leaving the country to go and fight for the terrorist group.

He will return to the stand Wednesday morning, followed by four other prosecution witnesses.
