In a recent development, the Department of Justice under the Biden administration has brought charges against Allison Humber of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison, a 37-year-old from Boise, Idaho.
The pair are accused of spearheading what is being termed a "white supremacist" terrorist group.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, the duo faces a 15-count indictment for allegedly leading the 'Terrorgram Collective' since 2019. This organization is described as a 'transnational white supremacist terrorist organization.' The indictment states, The Terrorgram Collective, colloquially known as Terrorgram a blend of the words terrorism and Telegram is a network of channels, group chats, and users on Telegram that promote white supremacist accelerationism: an ideology centered on the belief that the white race is superior; that society is irreparably corrupt and cannot be saved by political action; and that violence and terrorism is necessary to ignite a race war and accelerate the collapse of the government and the rise of a white ethnostate.
The charges brought against Humber and Allison include one count of conspiracy, four counts of soliciting hate crimes, three counts of soliciting the murder of federal officials, three counts of doxing federal officials, one count of threatening communications, two counts of distributing bombmaking instructions, and one count of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists, as per the DOJ.
The indictment alleges that the defendants sought to incite hate crimes against African Americans, Jewish communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and immigrants. A significant piece of evidence presented by federal prosecutors is The Hard Reset, a manifesto co-authored and narrated by Humber. This document not only rationalizes the groups extremist ideology but also offers tactical guidance on executing attacks, including instructions for manufacturing bombs and other destructive devices, and lauds past terrorist attacks as models to emulate.
The indictment further accuses Humber and Allison of creating and distributing The Saint Encyclopedia, a publication that venerates mass murderers as saints of their cause. The pair allegedly disseminated instructional materials on constructing bombs, weaponry, and sabotage techniques to their followers, encouraging them to target critical infrastructure and public spaces.
A particularly unsettling aspect of the case is the claim that Humber and Allison created and shared The List, a hit list featuring names, photos, and addresses of federal officials, including a U.S. senator, a district court judge, and a former U.S. attorney. The defendants are said to have urged their followers to take action and assassinate these individuals as part of their wider scheme to topple the U.S. government.
The indictment reviewed by TGP states, Individuals named in The List, many of whom were targeted because of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity, include federal officials such as a United States Senator (Federal Official 1), a United States District Court Judge (Federal Official 2), and a former United States Attorney (Federal Official 3); state officials; municipal officials; and leaders of private companies and non-governmental organizations.
Federal authorities apprehended the duo on Friday. A search of Humbers property during her arrest reportedly uncovered a 3D-printed AR-15 assault rifle and other 3D-printed firearms, domestic terrorist patches, Nazi paraphernalia, 3D printers, ammunition, trigger extenders, sim cards and flash cards, among other items. Another AR-15 assault rifle, a short-barreled rifle, materials for 3D printing firearms, high-capacity magazines, unregistered handguns, a printed copy of a publication from Terrorgram Collective, and more Nazi paraphernalia were found in a safe.
If convicted on all charges, Humber and Allison could each face a maximum sentence of 220 years in prison.
