California woman led a terrorist group from 'comfort of her suburban home'

"Dallas Humber, a resident of Elk Grove, a suburb of Sacramento, was a leader of the Terrorgram Collective, an online white supremacist group that operated on the messaging app Telegram. According to the DOJ, Humber encouraged members of this " dangerous network" to commit acts of violence and kill individuals based on their race, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity. When officials arrested Humber in 2024, they found Nazi paraphernalia, 3D printed guns and domestic terrorist patches, the Sacramento Bee reported."

"Per the DOJ release, from 2022 to 2024, Humber and her Terrorgram associates solicited individuals to carry out hate crimes and assassinations, giving them "technical, inspirational, and operational guidance." The group plotted to attack an energy facility in New Jersey and bomb another energy facility in Tennessee, as well as kill two people in Wisconsin, the release says. There were also plans to kill officials in the U.S. and Australia, it continues."

"Some of these attacks were actually carried out across the world: Terrorgram associates shot and killed two people at an LGBT bar in Slovakia; shot 11 people, killing four of them, at two schools in Brazil; and stabbed five people outside a mosque in Turkey, the release says. Despite the international scope of these attacks, documents suggest that Humber had been orchestrating them near a Michaels craft store and an Old Spaghetti Factory in a quiet Sacramento County neighborhood."
